Free Disability Evaluation: Claims and Appeals

Introduction

U.S. Social Security Disability Evaluation

Disability Evaluation Under Social Security has been specially prepared to provide physicians and other health professionals with an understanding of the disability programs administered by the Social Security Administration. Most Social Security disability claims are initially processed through a network of local Social Security Administration (SSA) field offices and State agencies (usually called Disability Determination Services or DDSs). Subsequent appeals of unfavorable determinations may be decided in a DDS or by an administrative law judge in SSA's Office of Disability Adjudication and Review.

Main Item

Social Security representatives in the field offices usually obtain applications for disability benefits in person, by telephone, by mail, or by filing online. The application and related forms ask for a description of the claimant's impairment(s), treatment sources, and other information that relates to the alleged disability. (The "claimant" is the person who is requesting disability benefits.)

Compassionate Allowances

Compassionate Allowance Benefits fast-track applications for Social Security disability for diseases and other medical conditions that invariably qualify under the listing of impairments. Compassionate allowances allow Social Security to quickly target the most obviously disabled individuals for allowances based on objective medical information. U.S. Social Security has an obligation to provide benefits quickly to applicants whose medical conditions are so serious that their conditions obviously meet disability standards.
