Information About Social Security Disability

Although a knowledgeable attorney can provide you with answers to questions about your particular case, the Social Security Administration has a very informative website that can provide many general answers to questions about Social Security Disability. Here is a link to a page that has all of their brochures: http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10029.html.

Being armed with as much information as possible when you are fighting with the government is a good idea. I recommend reading up on Social Security Disability if you have to apply. It is a very difficult time in your life, and you should not expect that Social Security will easily pay benefits just because you have paid into the system.

How to Get Military Service Records

In our Veterans Disability cases, we often have to get the vet's military service record. You can help yourself by getting the full record early in your VA claim. Here is a link to a page at the U.S. National Archives website to get you started: http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/standard-form-180.html. It offers the necessary form and directions for how to get those records.
