On of the common questions and requests I get from Social Security Disability Applicants using a Social Security Representative (which could be a non attorney or attorney) to help them win is that they want to change.
After a few questions I usually learn that the reason for the desire to change is because of lack of communication from the representative.
Perhaps you have experienced this, numerous phone calls, emails letter with no reply. The cold shoulder leads to frustration and causes many to believe that if they changed the grass would be greener on the other side, the case would move along faster and you would have your benefits sooner!
This could very well be true but before you jump to this conclusion and fire em’ I encourage you to consider a these very important points so you don’t make a costly mistake.
1. understand that this is a long process and there are times when no much is going to happens especially if you have been denied and are waiting for a hearing date.
2. do your very best to get your representatives to agree to a communication plan. Send a registered letter you have to. communication plan example: every 60 days you can call and speak to or get a written up date from the person that is intimately involved with your case.
3. understand that you can release a representative and hire new one at no cost to you, this is a valid consideration if your representative is not doing their job, or if you now realize that you have retained an insufficient representative
4. before you change representatives consider all of the above and read Attorney Jonathan Ginsbergs perspective on this topic.
