Advantages Of Completing Social Security Forms

Completing the Social Security forms as a worksheet prior to an interview with a Social Security representative:

• Gives you time to review your answers to be sure you don't leave anything out.
• Helps assure you'll answer the questions in the way that is best for your chances of getting approval.
• SSDI claims are not won based on what you say (since proof is needed), but they can be lost that way. Completing the forms:
• • Helps keep what you say to the minimum. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something that may later be used to deny your claim.
• • Helps keep you from saying something that you may later regret.
• Assures that your version of the situation is in your file. You can give a copy of your worksheet to the representative and tell him or her that you want the worksheet included in your file.
• Speeds the process.
