Disability Representatives Who Understand Your Story

Your body remembers every day of hard work. The lifting, the standing, the pushing through pain when quitting wasn't an option. Now, when your health prevents you from working, you deserve advocates who understand what you've sacrificed.

At Disability Representatives of America, we've spent over 20 years helping people whose bodies gave out after decades of dedication. We know you're not looking for charity. You've earned these benefits through years of paying into the system. Our job is to make sure you get what's rightfully yours.

Why the System Feels So Difficult

The Social Security Administration uses a five-step sequential evaluation process that wasn't designed with working people in mind. Each step creates new barriers that can derail your application, even when your condition clearly prevents you from working.

1. Substantial Gainful Activity

If you earn more than $1,260 per month, you may be denied as not disabled. However, you can still apply depending on your specific earnings situation.

2. Severe Impairment

The SSA determines whether your medical condition significantly limits your ability to do basic work activities. Objective medical evidence from acceptable sources is required.

3. Listed Impairments

Your condition is compared against SSA's official list of qualifying disabilities. If your condition doesn't match exactly, you move to the next step where a Residual Functional Capacity assessment determines your physical and mental capabilities.

4. Past Relevant Work

The SSA uses the Dictionary of Occupational Titles with 12,500+ job descriptions to classify your previous work. Based on your capabilities from Step 3, they determine if you can return to past employment. Inaccurate job classification can cause wrongful denials.

5. Other Work in the National Economy

A Vocational Expert identifies jobs you might perform with your limitations. Their testimony about available work and competitive employment requirements can make or break your case, even when that testimony may be inaccurate.

These technical requirements trip up thousands of applicants every year. That's where we come in.

Our Approach: Experience Backed by Results

We've appeared in over 4,000 hearings. We've seen how Administrative Law Judges think, what evidence they value, and how Vocational Experts testify. This experience guides every strategy we develop for your case.

When you work with us, you get a dedicated case manager who knows your story. No shuffling between different people who don't understand your situation. No wondering if anyone cares about your outcome.

We prepare every application as if it's heading to a hearing because preparation leads to approvals. Whether you're filing your initial application or appealing a denial, we anticipate the challenges ahead and build a case that addresses each potential obstacle.

Our Commitment: No Fees Unless You Win

We believe in your case enough to work for free unless you get approved. You won't pay attorney fees, retainer fees, or hourly charges while we build your case. We only get paid if you get paid.

This isn't just about money. It's about standing behind our commitment to fight for people who've spent their lives contributing to this country. When you succeed, we succeed.

Ready to Get the Help You've Earned?

You don't have to face the Social Security Administration alone. Our experienced representatives know how to present your case in the strongest possible light. We understand the medical evidence you need, the deadlines you must meet, and the arguments that persuade decision-makers.
