A:
Yes, a lawyer can assist you in navigating the complexities of social security disability (SSDI) issues, including the cessation of benefits and overpayment claims. Attorneys experienced in social security law understand the procedures and regulations governing SSDI and can help you understand your rights and options.
If your SSDI benefits have been discontinued or if you've been informed of an overpayment, an attorney can review your case to determine the best course of action. They can help in gathering necessary medical documentation, employment history, and other relevant information to support your claim.
Moreover, a lawyer can represent you in communications and negotiations with the Social Security Administration. This includes filing for reconsideration, representing you at hearings, and appealing decisions if necessary.
It's important to act quickly, as there are often strict deadlines for responding to notices from the Social Security Administration. Consulting with an attorney as soon as possible can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you take the appropriate steps to address your situation.
