Before you visit
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and a comprehensive 15-year work history to your appointment. You should also provide a list of all treating physicians with their contact information, recent medical records, a list of current medications, and any prior denial letters. Expect your interview with a claims representative to last between 45 and 90 minutes. An attorney can help you ensure your paperwork is complete before you arrive.
You may delay your benefits by failing to provide a complete 15-year work history or omitting recent medical records from your primary care providers. Another frequent error is neglecting to mention mental health conditions that contribute to your inability to work. Always read every form thoroughly before signing, as errors in your application can lead to unnecessary processing delays. An attorney can help you avoid these common filing mistakes.
Should you bring an attorney?
The initial application stage is the foundation of your entire disability claim. Evidence gathered and submitted at this point will define the record used if your case requires an appeal. If you apply without legal guidance, you may find the process overwhelming and face initial denials. An attorney can help you understand your options before you walk into the Littleton office.
