Ready to Apply for Disability in Florida? Here’s What to Do

Time is essential when you are unable to work and have no income. While there are certain medical  conditions that the SSA is likely to approve for benefits,’ there aren’t many automatic disabilities. So, our accredited advocates suggest that you speak with us about applying for Social Security disability as soon as you become unable to work. Why? Because, applying for benefits can often be a time-consuming and complex process, and while some back time is covered if you win your claim, you still have to contend with the span of time between your application and the decision

Many times, as you know, people are denied Social Security disability (SSD) and/or supplemental security income (SSI) on their first application. We’d like to tell you that it isn’t so, but it simply wouldn’t be honest. However, you do markedly increase your chances for being determined to be disabled when you work with an experienced advocate. Whether you’ve sought SSD before and were denied, or if this is your first attempt at getting SSD or SSI, it’s to your advantage to seek dedicated, experienced help. If you are planning on applying for disability in Florida, give the professionals here at Disability Experts of Florida a shot at helping move your case through the congested system. You’ll be glad you did.

We recently posted about how to go about actually doing it. For this post, we thought we would discuss what you should expect from the process.

Don’t Get Discouraged: Applying for Disability in Florida Doesn’t Have to be Stressful

First off, filing for disability can be an extremely frustrating, time-consuming process when you decide to do it yourself. Besides, depending on your particular condition, it can take a considerable toll on your well being. Stress is an acknowledged killer and will exacerbate just about any physical or psychological conditions you have. So it’s best to work closely with someone who can do the grunt work for you.

So you might be asking, then, ‘If it’s so tedious, why do you do it?’ Well, because we believe that everyone should have a fair shot at a good quality of life. We believe in a level playing field and we strongly believe that a person’s disability shouldn’t impede that person from pursuing happiness. We’ve been inspired in the past by the fortitude and will of our clients . Far from being “moochers,” people who suffer from disabilities are makers, not takers. In fact, many are motivated by their circumstances. There is nothing more inspiring, more heartening than seeing someone turn his or her fortunes around despite their disability.

Disabilities are a very real concern and can have devastating financial and psychological effects, which can literally ruin your life. So when asking us why we do what we do, it’s because we’re so passionate about helping others. Nobody is getting rich. It’s about heart. It’s about soul. So you should strongly consider hiring DEF to help you when applying for disability in Florida.
