I ended up hiring a SSD specialist VERY late in the game. I would STRONGLY urge anyone to hire right up front. If you are filing for disability you have to have severe health problems which makes it very hard to build your own case anyway. Ask around and see who in your area has a GREAT, not good, but GREAT track record. I just won my case after a 9 year fight. I ended up hiring a SSD specialist VERY late in the game.

Since the claimant pays 25% of the back beneftits or $5,300 (whichever is less) with a standard fee agreement, there is <em>no reason to wait </em>to hire a lawyer. You should consult a lawyer <em>early</em> in the process, rather than at the end (when you have an ALJ hearing coming up). Since you pay the same fee either way, you should get the lawyer involved <em>early</em>. You will get more representation for your money, and you might win your case earlier (and pay a smaller attorney's fee, too, because the back benefits are less). Great post, Tomasz!
