Putting in an application for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits in Tulsa, OK means you’ll be looking at least four to five months before your initial claim is reviewed, and only about 49% are approved. If you’re denied, you can request your claim is reconsidered. If denied a second time, you’ll need to appeal, sending your claim before an administrative law judge for a final determination. From start to finish this whole process can take a year or longer.

Your Tulsa Social Security Disability Claim
The medical documentation in your Tulsa disability benefits application can increase your chances of being found eligible for SSD but it won’t guarantee eligibility no matter how significant the documentation may be. A Tulsa Social Security lawyer can assist you, increasing your chances of receiving benefits.
As a disabled person with limited financial resources, paying for legal assistance is intimidating. A Tulsa Social Security attorney will not charge upfront fees and only gets paid if you get benefits. If you’re found eligible for SSD you’ll receive retroactive benefits and 25% of those will go to your Tulsa Social Security lawyer, up to a maximum of $6,000.
