Before you visit
Bring a government-issued photo ID and a detailed 15-year work history to your appointment. You should also provide a complete list of your treating physicians with their current addresses, recent medical records, and a list of all current medications. If you have received any prior denial notices, bring those documents as well. Expect your interview with a claims representative to last between 45 and 90 minutes.
Avoid delays by ensuring your work history is complete and accurate for the last 15 years. Many applicants fail to provide recent medical records or neglect to mention conditions that contribute to your inability to work. Never sign any Social Security forms without reading them thoroughly. Providing incomplete information often leads to unnecessary processing delays.
Should you bring an attorney?
The application stage is the foundation of your entire disability claim. An attorney can help you gather the necessary medical evidence and ensure your application accurately reflects your limitations. Most people who apply without legal guidance find the process overwhelming and often face initial denials that could have been avoided. A free case review can help you understand your options before you submit your paperwork.

If your SSDI claim moves to a hearing
About two-thirds of initial SSDI applications nationwide are denied. If yours is, your case moves to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. SSA routes appeals from the Las Vegas field office to the hearing office below, per SSA's published service areas. The Las Vegas field office holds your file at every appeal stage, but the substantive decisions happen further up the chain.
