A little passion for veterans lawyers
Q: What is the first thing that will happen after you obtain representation from a social security lawyer? A: The first thing a social security lawyer will do is familiarize himself with everything in your file, as well as your current medical information. Your attorney will want to thoroughly understand your case. If your claim is past the initial review phase, updated medical records are a vital tool for your social security lawyer. The SSA will not update any medical information after a reconsideration decision has been made. Consequently, your medical information may be severely outdated when you finally get to your hearing date.
