If Social Security sent you a letter for a “consultative exam,” don’t ignore it. This exam can decide your Disability case. And how you prepare can make the difference between an approval and a denial.

As Disability lawyers in Hermosa Beach, we have prepared thousands of clients for this exam. Here is what we tell every one of them.

First: always attend. Missing the exam gives Social Security a reason to deny your case. Second: be honest about your worst day, not your best day. Many people out of pride say “I’m fine” and that phrase ends up in the report. Third: that doctor’s report does not replace your doctor. The records from the physician who treats you every month are worth more if they are presented the right way.

That’s where your Disability lawyer comes in. Our team in Hermosa Beach makes sure Social Security sees the complete file not just 15 minutes with a doctor who doesn’t know you.

Casa de la Justicia maintains a 75% approval rate, well above the national average. We have helped more than 3,000 people win their monthly Disability payments. And we were named Best Law Firm in Hermosa Beach two years in a row.

Disability is a federal benefit no matter where you live, the rules are the same. But having a local team in Hermosa Beach that answers your calls and prepares you for every step that does make a difference.
