You Have Mailed, Scanned, and Faxed All the Necessary Paperwork For Your Social Security Disability Application. You Followed the Correct Procedures and and Expect an Approval Letter in a Few Weeks. But What If Something Goes Wrong at the Social Security Administration Office?
ERROR #1 - The Social Security disability office could lose or misplace your application or even your entire file.
The Social Security Administration receives thousands of applications every year, which they will have to process and respond to. However, as experience shows, paperwork can be easily lost. This could delay your case for months and you may even need to gather all your files all over again!
ERROR #2 - The Social Security office could fail to register your appeal in a timely manner.
Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines. If you have applied or are in the process of applying for Social Security benefits, you probably have been stressed about meeting these due dates. Though you've gotten your share of the work processed on time, what happens when the Social Security office doesn't? Expect a heavily delayed case.
ERROR #3 - Your doctor could fail to send your medical records to the Social Security office, or Social Security could misplace the records.
Doctors and hospitals get flooded with requests for medical records and paperwork and depending on the situation, it may take weeks to process those requests and have them sent in.
ERROR # 4 - The disability officer could use the wrong standard of review based on your age, education, and skills. They could also attribute earnings to you that you did not actually earn.
This is a common error made by the Social Security Administration and could jeopardize your case. If this happens, you may not receive the benefits you are entitled to.
