Disability can
stem from many things such as diabetes, asthma,
arthritis, depression and many others.
Obtaining Social Security disability benefits can be
a long and confusing process for those who are
unfamiliar with the law.
Social Security will
consider your age, education, work history and
disabilities in their determination to deny or
accept your application for disability benefits. It
is important to know what information the Social
Security Administration finds important in making a
disability benefits decision.
In 2001, a California Congressmen cited statistics that support the choice of having expert representation in disability claims. In his statement, Congressman Matsui of California testified that, “…Claimants without professional representation appear to be far less likely to receive the benefits to which they are entitled. For example, in 2000, 64% of claimants represented by an attorney, but only 40% of those without one, were awarded benefits at the hearing level”.
It is not uncommon to be denied a couple of times in
your pursuit of Social Security disability benefits.
Do not give up hope. If an application is denied it
can be appealed to a hearing before an
administrative law judge, then to the Appeal's
Council, and even to Federal Court. Susan O'Malley has even successfully represented clients attempting to receive Social Security at the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals.
If your application is denied, Keel O'Malley can

law judge at a hearing. We don't employ non-attorney Social Security Represenatives, our attorneys will be personally representing you.
