If you have recently been denied social security disability benefits, you will need to speak to an attorney. Many people simply give up once they receive their letter of denial, however, that is the worst thing they can do. The Social Security Administration frequently denies benefits on the first application attempt.

This will include gathering all of your medical records, including the results for any tests that you might have had performed. Your attorney will also obtain a letter from your physicians which will document your medical condition including:
* how your disability interferes with your ability to work
* how your disability interferes with your ability to care for your needs
* how long it is intended to last
* the expected prognosis
