Social Security Disability Representative

Attorney vs. Non-attorney Representative – There is a Difference

When you are applying for social security disability benefits you can hire a Minnesota SSA attorney or non-attorney Social Security disability representative. Whether you hire an attorney or non-attorney representative the fees charged are exactly the same for past-due SSDI or SSI benefits. If you have a complex case or you’ve been denied benefits and are filing a reconsideration claim or an administrative appeal it will probably be advantageous to appoint a Minnesota social security disability representative who is an attorney.

A Minnesota SSA attorney is well-trained, licensed by the State of Minnesota and has the experience to handle the legal issues that arise in your claim. A Minnesota Social Security disability representative who is an attorney will also know about the SSA and its regulations. They can make sure you do not miss any important deadlines, help obtain the medical documentation for your claim, and can call the examiner handling your file on your behalf. Appointing an SSA attorney at the start of your claim also helps you from having to change to an attorney later if you have to appeal your claim to a federal court.
