Poll: 83% Think Their Social Security Disability Claim Will Be Handled Unfairly

Do you believe that your social security disability claim will be treated fairly by the Social Security Administration (SSA)? According to a new poll put out by a disability website, the answer is a resounding "no!" In the poll, which was taken by almost 400 people, 83 percent of those participating said that they did not believe that the government would take a close look at their SSDI application or make a just decision about their case or claim.

While the SSA has tried to make improvements when it comes to social security disability benefits, there is a long way to go. The application backlog is significant, and the process can take years. Some are denied based on technicalities and red tape - people with real disabilities who then have to go through a long appeals process.

In some cases, the best way to ensure that you are treated fairly by the SSA during your disability benefits claim process is to enlist the help of an experienced North Carolina social security disability lawyer.
