We at the Disability Group, Inc. certainly take the denial of our clients’ benefits seriously. To assist our clients in obtaining benefits, we take care to submit relevant evidence to the Administrative Law Judge upon his or her request after a hearing is conducted. In this instance, we provided to the ALJ what we were able to obtain without unduly delaying our client’s decision. These records were considered in the ALJ decision letter. We called the client and reviewed the denial notice in detail, pointing out specific issues the ALJ had with her claim. The client was able to ask questions she had about the basis of the ALJ decision, which were largely founded on medical records submitted to the ALJ for review and the client’s testimony at the hearing. Unfortunately, the records and the client’s testimony did not illustrate a disability in the eyes of the judge as she followed the 5 Step Sequential Process of Social Security Disability. We have provided the client with a referral to a local attorney should she wish to appeal this denial or file a new claim. It is always helpful to know when our clients have any concerns so that we can address them in the most satisfactory way for our clients.
