One of the most frustrating things about representing Social Security claimants is that most are not able to get regular medical care. They are not working, typically have no insurance, and are unable to afford medical care. The starting point for any disability case is medical records. Fortunately, there are a handful of clinics which provide services to those who are unable to afford regular medical care. Unfortunately, they do not have the funding necessary to perform all the tests necessary to properly evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients. But they do their best. God bless those doctors, nurses, and staff who volunteer their time to help these folks. If anyone knows of any clinics please let us know so we can help our clients get the medical care they so deeply need.

One of the most rewarding parts of representing clients in a disability claim is seeing the relief on their faces when I can tell them they have been awarded benefits.

There is a great deal of satisfaction in helping these people get some much needed, and earned, benefits.
