Why does nobody talk about how a denial letter looks different after a lawyer rewrites it
I help my uncle with his paperwork since his back injury and I noticed something strange. His first denial letter from Social Security was 2 pages and just said he was not disabled enough. Then he got a lawyer in Sacramento and the second denial, 7 weeks later, was 6 pages and listed his doctor visits by date, his MRI results, and even quoted what his boss wrote about him missing shifts. Same medical records. Same guy. The only thing that changed was who put the file together. The lawyer's office sent a 14 page brief with the appeal and suddenly the letter read like they actually looked at his case instead of just stamping it no. I always thought a lawyer just showed up at a hearing, but most of the work seems to happen way before that. Has anyone else seen the denial letters get way more detailed once a rep is involved, or was that just our luck?
