North Carolina SSI or SSDI

Filing for SSDI or SSI entails much more than simply filling out an application and getting approved for benefits. The application is lengthy, and can be very confusing if you are not familiar with the process. It is not uncommon for a person to attempt to file for benefits on their own, without the assistance of an attorney, and be denied. Once an experienced Social Security attorney steps in, particularly at the hearing level, your chances improve due to the knowledge and expertise the attorney possesses. Vaughn Clauson of The Clauson Law Firm, PLLC specializes in all aspects of Social Security Disability Law, and he has the knowledge needed to assist you with your case. There are many things you need to know when filling out your application for benefits, and providing accurate and detailed information is a must. It is very important to have your doctor’s names, addresses, and any and all names of the medications you are prescribed related to your illness. You may wonder why we ask certain questions and we assure you all information is kept confidential.

Accurate Information is a MUST!

An application for disability benefits must be completed in full before the Social Security Administration considers your claim. This is one of the many services we provide for you. It is not unusual for a person to attempt to file on their own only to be denied. Keep in mind that the reminder letters Social Security sends can be confusing and frustrating to receive, and if not properly addressed, can lead to denial. If you have first applied on your own and been denied, please mail us all records, correspondence from Social Security, etc. Our team at Clauson Law will make sure your Social Security Benefits Application in North Carolina is filled out fully, accurately and do our best to prevent any processing delays regarding your claim.
