Be honest and complete in giving information to Social Security about your disability. For instance, many claimants fail to mention their psychiatric problems to Social Security because they are embarrassed about them. In almost all cases, individuals who were slow learners in school fail to mention this fact to Social Security, even though it can have a good deal to do with whether or not the Social Security disability claim is approved.
Beyond being honest and complete with Social Security, the most important thing that you can do is just keep appealing and hire an experienced person to represent you. It is important to appeal because most claims are denied at the initial level but approved at higher levels of review. Statistically, claimants who employ an attorney to represent them are much more likely to win than those who go unrepresented because most people do not understand the way Social Security works.
