Product Description
More people are denied SSI and Social Security Disability than are allowed benefits the first time they apply. This includes children and adults. Appeals can take a year or more. In a simplified step by step guide Mike Davis gives disability applicants the crucial information they need to know and exactly what to do to make the best case the first time around. A former SSI and Social Security Disability Claims Examiner, the author has worked on over 4000 cases over a seven year period. "Too often I have had to deny a claim when I thought there was a genuine disability, but the case was not complete enough to render a favorable decision. What I have tried to do in this book is give the reader the information needed to present his or her case fully, accurately, and in the best possible light. I believe this will increase the chances of a favorable decision dramatically." Here is the inside scoop on what the decision makers are really looking for and how you can help them to get it.

 Successful Appeal March 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
How to Get SSI & Social Security Disability: An Insider's Step by Step Guide by Mike Davis, was invaluable in my request for reconsideration for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). After the denial of my initial application, I wrote a successful request for reconsideration myself based on the guidance and information provided in this book.
Mr. Davis lays out precisely what information the Social Security Administration (SSA) disability evaluation analyst needs to approve a claim or appeal and how to amass that information so the applicant may provide it to them.
I recommend you purchase and study this book prior to your initial application so you may understand the SSDI application and review processes and provide the SSA with the information they need to approve your claim, thereby avoiding the need to appeal.

This was a great little book, very helpful. So was the Nolo's Guide to Social Security Disability. These 2 are Must Have books for an applicant. Thanks Mike DAvis!
I wish I had read it 7 years ago when I first applied for Disability. Perhaps it wouldn't have taken me all of this time, and a Federal Civil suit, to get approval. But I disagree with MR Davis: I think the SSA routinely denies applicants if they have too many claims on their desk. Denial must be a way to clean off their desk. That isn't Mr Davis's fault though. His book was very helpful.
My only complaint on the book was that Mr Davis relied on abreviations too much. FO, ALJ, ADL, & those sort of industry specific abbreviations should have been replaced with the full titles (Field Office, Administrative Law Judge, and Activities of Daily Living, etc). The vocabulary of the Social Security is confusing enough without having to continue to flip back to the cheat sheet to look these things up. But if you decide to stick to the cheat sheet scenario on your next edition, please put the cheat sheet on the last page so that it is easier to find.

This was a good read book. I would have to write a review later to let people know if anything in it helped.
