How to Get Approved for Social Security Disability in Philadelphia

The majority of Philadelphia residents who apply for social security without the help of an attorney, get turned down. In fact, it sometimes takes more than a few tries before you are even added to the wait list, which is due in part to a bureaucratic backlog.

Hire a law firm

Treat your medical condition and bring proof

By following doctors’ orders you are proving that you have a real condition and debilitating symptoms. Whether it is your mental or physical health that is suffering, treating the issue and going for routine check-ups will show up in your medical record and further prove your case. This includes all of your Philadelphia hospital and clinic test results, patient I.D’s medical bracelets, dates and hospital check in’s/out’s. Document every single visit to the doctor, or physio therapy because the paperwork will enhance your credibility.
