An important first step in submitting your Corona Social Security Disability application is establishing a medical history that supports your disability claim. According to the Social Security Act, if you are a qualifying worker who has sustained an injury which prohibits you from achieving gainful employment for at least 12 months, you may be eligible to receive Social Security Disability in Corona.
Qualifying for Social Security Disability can be a lengthy process. The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) reports that only 31% of the initial Social Security Disability claims filed in the state of California are actually awarded. Of those denied, most claimants never appeal. If your initial Corona Social Security Disability claim is denied, you retain the right to appeal the decision and ask that it be reconsidered. If your appeal is also denied, you can ask to have your Corona Social Security Disability case sent before an administrative law judge (ALJ) at the Orange hearing office. At the hearing level, nearly 38% of disability cases that are heard by an ALJ are awarded.

Winning your Corona Social Security Disability claim relies heavily on your ability to provide medical proof of being disabled. After the SSA receives your application and reviews you non-medical qualifications, the SSA forwards your case file on to the California DDS for a medical review. The DDS is responsible for assessing new cases and making re-eligibility determinations on current Corona Social Security Disability claims. Your medical records play an integral role in your Corona Social Security Disability case. If you have been injured, it’s important that you are receiving regular medical attention.

Back to topWhen to Find a Corona Social Security Disability Attorney
If you have a disability that prevents you from earning a living, a lengthy application and review process on your Corona Social Security Disability case can cause undue financial stress to your family. In the United States, most initial Social Security Disability claims are denied, so you can reasonably expect that you will need to appeal your decision at least once, maybe more. It may be in your best interest to hire a Corona Social Security Disability attorney to represent you.
California disability attorneys will often provide free initial consultations and typically don’t charge you a fee unless they win your case. If your attorney wins, a standard fee of 25% of your award is collected from past due benefits or through a fee petition. The maximum an attorney can collect for representing you in your Corona Social Security Disability case is $6,000.
