You do not need a representative to apply for Social Security Disability benefits, and you can apply directly with the SSA free of charge at ssa.gov or by telephone. Nothing on this site is an official government communication, and no fee we or anyone else charges is required in order to apply for benefits.
Disability Benefit Advocate is operated by Legal Advocate Group, 4400 RT 9 South, Suite 1000, Freehold, NJ 07728, telephone (848) 863-6987. Legal Advocate Group is responsible for the content of this advertisement.
Legal Advocate Group is not a law firm and employs no attorneys who will represent you. We do not provide legal advice, we do not decide whether you qualify for benefits, and we do not evaluate the legal merits of your claim. Nothing on this site or said during an intake call is legal advice.
Calling the number on this page connects you with an intake representative. That representative asks preliminary questions and may refer your information to a participating law firm or non-attorney representative who handles disability claims. Whether any firm or representative accepts your matter is entirely their decision, and no one is obliged to take it.
We are paid by law firms and representatives for advertising and for referring the information callers provide. That means we have a financial interest in you calling. We do not charge you anything for the call, and what we are paid does not change depending on the outcome of your claim.
Fees charged by a representative in a Social Security Disability matter are regulated by the Social Security Administration and normally must be approved by it. In most cases a representative is paid only if benefits are awarded, out of past-due benefits, subject to the limits the SSA sets. Any representative who takes your matter is required to explain their fee agreement to you in writing before you agree to it.
We do not promise that you will qualify for benefits, that a claim will be accepted, or that any particular amount will be awarded. Most first applications for disability benefits are denied. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome, and no statement on this site should be read as a prediction about your situation.
Contacting us does not create an attorney-client relationship or a representative relationship. That relationship begins only when you and a firm or representative sign a written agreement.
Services described here are not available in every state, and not every caller can be helped. Some matters cannot be accepted for reasons that have nothing to do with the strength of the claim.
