Why You Need a Representative for Disability in Oklahoma
If you are trying to navigate the disability system in Oklahoma, you may be wondering if you need a representative. The short answer is yes. The disability system is complicated, and it has a different definition of disability than many other programs. Having a representative can greatly increase your chances of being successful in your claim.
But what kind of representative do you need? It doesn’t have to be an attorney. It can be a non-attorney representative, such as a disability advocate, or it can be an attorney. The good news is that the fee for representation is controlled by Social Security. You only pay if you win your claim and if you have back pay that is accrued.
The Benefits of Having a Representative
Having a representative can make a big difference in the outcome of your disability claim. A representative knows the system, understands the requirements for disability, and can help you gather the evidence you need to support your claim. They can also help you avoid common mistakes that could hurt your case.
Another benefit of having a representative is that they can help you appeal a denial of your claim. Unfortunately, many initial disability claims are denied, but an experienced representative can help you appeal the decision and increase your chances of success.
