DON'T GIVE UP ON SOCIAL SECURITY

By Charles W. Forsythe

BENEFITS ARE HARD TO GET:  DON'T GIVE UP!

With over a million Americans applying for Social Security disability benefits every year, it is increasingly difficult for disabled individuals to get a favorable decision from Social Security.  In recent years, denial rates have climbed to over 70 percent in the initial or "application" stage.

Claimants who have been denied are often unsure of what to do next.  Many simply give up and this forces them to live without adequate housing, food, medical care and other basic necessities.  As one individual told me, "I was living without hope."

My firm was founded more than two decades ago to give hope to disabled individuals.  My job is to fight for benefits that disabled claimants paid for and deserve.  The Social Security disability program is NOT welfare, is not paid for out of taxpayer money and does not increase the national debt, as some mistakenly believe.  The program is self-financing, paid for completely by a special tax on workers called a FICA tax.  FICA stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act.  The tax is withheld from every paycheck and matched by the employer.  These withholdings go into the Social Security Trust Fund and are used to pay benefits when a worker becomes disabled.

The problem is:  Social Security is about to begin spending more money than it brings in.  This is because of three basic demographic truths concerning our population:

1.  Millions of baby boomers are becoming disabled.
2.  Millions of women entered the work force during and after World War II.
3.  The population is living much longer.

But Social Security's financial problems are not your concern.  You paid into the system for years, out of every paycheck, and now you need your benefits.

If you have been denied, I will file an appeal.  (You must do this within 60 days of the denial, however).  If I take your case, I will fight for you within the legal system to get the denial overturned, get you paid, and to get you all the past due payments you are entitled to get.
I will never charge you a penny in fees unless I am successful and recover back pay or past-due benefits for you.  My fee will be a small percentage of the back pay that you recover.  If we are not successful, you will never owe me a fee.  I will never ask you a money upfront.

A free consultation is a phone call away.  Contact our Huntsville, AL office if you have questions.  (We also have an office in Franklin, TN for our Tennessee clients).
