Filing an Initial SSDI Claim in Logan

The initial application for your Social Security Disability benefits is crucial for its success. You will want to be as accurate as possible at the beginning and prevent delays or denials, which is why it is in your best interest to work with our seasoned SSDI attorneys.

Call the Jan Dils team to get help in filing an initial SSDI claim in Logan, WV.

What Are the First Steps Toward Getting SSDI Benefits?

If someone is looking to secure SSDI benefits, the first step would be contacting the Social Security Administration or a law firm like us, who can help them get that application filed. If they choose to proceed directly without an attorney, they would need to contact the Social Security Office and schedule an appointment for an online application or they can go online themselves at ssa.gov and start their application by themselves. Having an experienced Logan attorney when filing for benefits will ensure the proper information is provided to the Social Security office. Information must be described properly, in order to ensure a positive outcome.

Filing the Initial Claim in Person

The Jan Dils office can accommodate in-person application appointments, as well as the nearest Social Security office.

Normally, prospective applicants will call or come into our office, and if we can help them, we schedule an appointment, giving them a day or two to gather all needed information, like medical treatment history and work history. It is best to have all of that information written down ahead of time, so we can sail through the intake appointment and application, reducing stress in the process.

How Attorneys Help With Initial Claims

Your claim starts on day one, from the time you start the application, with the information you’re providing, and how you’re wording things and answering questions. Thus, it will be extremely beneficial to work with someone who knows the ins and outs of these applications and has done thousands of them before.

No one would intentionally harm their case by saying or doing something incorrect on their form. However, it does happen because they are unaware of the factors that reviewers look for, and that’s why our attorneys and document specialists are available to look at every response and piece of evidence. Working with a Logan attorney early on allows us to be on solid ground with your SSDI application right out of the gate

SSA Follow-Up Confirmation

When you have an attorney file an online SSDI application on your behalf, you will be sending us your information to submit for you. The Social Security Office will send you an application summary that says the information they received was provided by a third party, and that you need you to sign off and confirm the information is correct. If you do not sign off and send it back, the SSA will not process your application.

It is not uncommon for cases to get hung up because applicants do not sign off on this confirmation, and the SSA does not send a follow-up to the applicant or the attorney reminding them that it is still incomplete.
