This is a short list of mistakes we have
seen our clients make over the years. Whether
you are our client, another lawyer's client or
simply trying to represent yourself in a claim
for Social Security Disability benefits, you
should read this list carefully and maybe you
can avoid making one of these
"fatal" mistakes.
Please call or write us if you have
questions about this or any other legal
matter.
- Not being completely honest with their
lawyer regarding medical conditions, work
status and drug or alcohol use.

taking all the medications prescribed by
the doctor.
- Not attending all meetings scheduled
with their lawyer.
- Not keeping Social Security and their
lawyer informed of their current address

Social Security to question their

hearing with the Administrative Law Judge.
