Facing the uncertainty of a disability can be overwhelming, especially when handling the complexities of filing for Social Security disability benefits. The process can feel rigorous, but we’ve found that taking the proper steps before you file can make all the difference in securing the support you need.

Here are three essential steps we recommend you consider before filing your Social Security disability case:

  1. Keep your intentions private. While it might be tempting to share your plans with others, it’s crucial to keep your intentions to file for disability benefits private. In many cases, I’ve seen individuals face unnecessary investigations simply because someone they told reported them to Social Security. These Cooperative Disability Investigations (CDI) can complicate your case and make winning more challenging. Social Security typically doesn’t investigate individuals unless they receive a report, so maintaining discretion is vital.
  2. Check your social security benefits. Before you file, I suggest visiting the Social Security Administration website and setting up your account. Find out exactly how much you are eligible to receive per month. Once you initiate the filing process, Social Security cuts off access to this information, and you’ll be left uncertain about your potential benefits. Knowing this figure upfront helps you plan and sets clear expectations.
  3. Communicate with your doctors. Your healthcare providers play a significant role in your disability case. Ensure your doctors know your intentions and are willing to support your claim. If you reach the end of the process and your doctors are not on board, it can be challenging to win your case. Open communication with your medical team is essential for gathering the necessary documentation and evidence to strengthen your application.

Your doctors’ support can make or break your Social Security disability case.

Taking these proactive steps simplifies the filing process and increases your chances of a favorable outcome. Managing the Social Security disability system doesn’t have to be overwhelming when you’re well-prepared and informed.
