UPDATED FOR 2014! Co-authored by a former Social Security Judge, this book is a how-to manual for (non-blind) disabled adult claimants who are applying for Social Security Disability or SSI benefits and whose claims are at the initial application level. A recent study revealed that about 6 of every 10 disability applications were denied at the initial level. Even worse, only about 1 in 4 of those denied claims ever was won on appeal. In other words, if you don't win at the initial level, there's only about a 1 in 4 chance you ever will! You need to make your strongest case at the initial application level, where your chances of winning are best. But how? First, you need to understand the process. Most of what claimants do at the initial application stage is answer questions on forms. Unassisted and virtually blindfolded, most applicants answer Social Security's questions incorrectly, inadequately, incompletely, or inappropriately. Too often, this leads to an undeserved denial. This book shows how to respond to each question on Social Security's 4 major forms, so you can maximize your chances of winning at the initial application level, when your chances of winning are greatest. Second, you need to take action. Many claimants take a wait-and-see approach: They wait until Social Security denies the claim at least once before they try to understand the process or get help. But by then, it's often too late. For those claimants, the best chance of winning is gone. And they may have damaged their claims beyond repair by giving inaccurate, uninformed, or incomplete answers. We wrote The Wilborn Method to help disabled people understand and complete Social Security's forms so they maximize their chances of winning at the initial application level. A self-help Social Security disability book should show you what you have to do to win your case! That is what this book does. We explain the disability process and the rules for proving you're disabled. We start with 11 chapters explaining the basics you need to know as you start the disability claim process. Then we guide you, question-by-question, through Social Security's 4 major forms. We answer three questions you must ask yourself when you read the questions on Social Security's forms: 1) Why is Social Security asking these specific questions? 2) How will Social Security use the answers? and 3) How much detail does Social Security need? We show you how to answer each question so you give a complete and accurate picture of your impairments, your limitations, your education, and your work history. We explain which of Social Security's questions aren't really asking what they appear to be asking, and we explain how to avoid getting trapped in wrong or inconsistent answers. For Social Security, the third party witness questionnaire can be a rich source of contradictions-contradictions that often are used to deny claims. We discuss ways to make this questionnaire work for you, instead of against you. To prove you're disabled, you must have medical evidence. We explain what your doctors should and should not do to help prove you're disabled. We even have two forms you can use to get useful and meaningful opinions from your doctors. The value of our guidance doesn't end at the initial application level. If you have to appeal your case, these forms stay in the record for as long as your case is appealed! At the hearing level, Social Security's judges look carefully at the answers on the initial level forms. They use careless or uninformed answers on these forms to deny disability claims. Giving inadequate answers on Social Security's initial level forms hurts more than your chances of winning early-it also can cripple your chances of winning later. Whether or not you hire a representative to help you, if you follow the instructions in The Wilborn Method, you'll avoid common mistakes that may harm your case. You'll also give the necessary details to improve your chances of winning quickly.

How social security disability law is out of touch with the contemporary American labor market Passing down nearly a million decisions each year, more judges handle disability cases for the Social Security Administration than federal civil and criminal cases combined. In Social Security Disability Law and the American Labor Market, Jon C. Dubin challenges the contemporary policies for determining disability benefits and work assessment. He posits the fundamental questions: where are the jobs for persons with significant medical and vocational challenges? And how does the administration misfire in its standards and processes for answering that question? Deploying his profound understanding of the Social Security Administration and Disability law and policy, he demystifies the system, showing us its complex inner mechanisms and flaws, its history and evolution, and how changes in the labor market have rendered some agency processes obsolete. Dubin lays out how those who advocate eviscerating program coverage and needed life support benefits in the guise of modernizing these procedures would reduce the capacity for the Social Security Administration to function properly and serve its intended beneficiaries, and argues that the disability system should instead be “mended, not ended.” Dubin argues that while it may seem counterintuitive, the transformation from an industrial economy to a twenty-first-century service economy in the information age, with increased automation, and resulting diminished demand for arduous physical labor, has not meaningfully reduced the relevance of, or need for, the disability benefits programs. Indeed, they have created new and different obstacles to work adjustments based on the need for other skills and capacities in the new economy—especially for the significant portion of persons with cognitive, psychiatric, neuro-psychological, or other mental impairments. Therefore, while the disability program is in dire need of empirically supported updating and measures to remedy identified deficiencies, obsolescence, inconsistencies in application, and racial, economic and other inequities, the program’s framework is sufficiently broad and enduring to remain relevant and faithful to the Act’s congressional beneficent purposes and aspirations.

ABOUT THE BOOK According to the Nation Poverty Center of the University of Michigan, 15 percent of the entire US population, or 45 million people, lived at or below the national poverty level in 2010. Many of these people are barely able to make ends meet, and are forced to make difficult decisions about paying for one basic necessity over another. This often leads to stress-related conditions such as heart disease, depression and anxiety, and many poverty-stricken people who cannot afford to treat these medical problems themselves. Fortunately, federal and state governments provide income, health care and other benefits as safety nets for impoverished and economically vulnerable people. These come in the form of Social Security benefits, Medicaid and unemployment insurance. Government benefits are an important aspect of a healthy, productive society and serve as a fail-safe against widespread poverty. Without them, many would go without basics such as food, shelter clothing and health care. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Once the application is submitted, the SSA usually does not need require documentation from the applicant because the information can be easily verified by various government databases. However, if the Social Security Administration does request proof or other documentation of any information on the application, potential beneficiaries must turn in the required paperwork within the specified time frame to avoid a delay in receiving benefits. The most commonly requested documents include photo identification, Social Security cards, birth certificates, marriage certificates and tax returns. The SSA does not accept photocopies or faxes of these documents; applicants must send the original documents by mail. The Social Security Administration will mail them back at the end of the application process. Survivors Benefits When a worker dies, the Social Security Administration provides their family with survivor's benefits to help fill the income gap left behind. These come as both one-time and monthly payments. A worker must have earned at least six credits in the three years before his death for his family to receive survivors benefits...
