Greetings; 

Barbara Mountain is currently the Vice President of Marketing/Client Relations for Integrated Benefits Inc.  Prior to IBI Barbara worked for a leading Long Term Disability Insurance carrier and started her career working for the Social Security Administration.

These three career experiences have provided her with a unique opportunity to look at thousands of Social Security Disability Claims and see what the 
advantages of using a representative are. 

In this 34 minute interview reveals from her a non representative point of view 10 things you must know about using a social security representative to determine if representation would be advantageous for your including. 

Types of representatives. 
How representatives answer SSA questions to prove your disabled.
How representatives get you all the back benefits your entitled to. 
How representatives communicate that your disabled to SSA. 
The tasks reps are responsible for and how it makes your life easier.
How your chances of getting approved are increased.
What you must know but don't know the questions to ask.
Do you need a local representative.
Common pitfalls and how to avoid them.
What you can expect to pay for a representative.
The 4 key ingredients to winning your benefits.

Top Reasons For Using An Representative To Press Your Case
1.  Been denied benefits already, you have to appeal in court and want help preparing the case for the judge

2.  Overwhelmed with the paperwork and would prefer to have to assistance to make certain the paperwork is filled out correct and all necessary medical information is included. 

3.  Some feel representative fee's are nominal compared total cash value and health insurance.
     
Example A : A 45 years old with a monthly benefit amount of $1,000, doesn't return to work before age 65; The case can easily be worth $250,000!  This amount does not include the value of the Medicare or Medicaid insurance you will be eligible for after being found disabled. 

   As you may know, the price of medical insurance in middle age, with pre-existing medical conditions, can be staggering and not affordable.  This of course assumes that an insurance company is willing to insure you. 

Example B:  If a representative wins your case just 4- 6 months sooner chances are your decision to retain an representative was a good one. 

4. Your chances of winning increase!
Social security reports a 26% better chance of winning with an appeal with an attorney. In my opinion, the reason for this is because the representative have a better understanding of how the Social Security Administration decides your case.

5.  Your on medications or have a condition that could effect your
ability to focus and stay on top of your case progress.

6.  You want to avoid becoming more disabled due to the stressed caused by the filing process, 

7.  MAXIMIZE PAST DUE BENEFITS, representative's are masters at rolling back the onset date of your disability so you get a larger back benefit check.  This is because they get paid up to 25% of this amount up to $6000.

8.  Help after you win to make sure that the Social Security Administration correctly calculates your benefits.

9. Saves you countless trips to Social Security

10. Representative's can uncover additional evidence that could be the slight edge for you in winning benefits.
