If the system wasn't made so complicate with laws written by Congress with I'm sure the help of many lawyers, a person could handle the case themselves.
Just look at the fact that SSA only just started withholding fees for non lawyers and you have to just through a bunch of hoops to qualify.
Many times I have heard from people "my lawyer didn't do anything," but once you sign that agreement, you are on the hook for that 25% of past due benefits.
I knew the fix was on when I was a BA and the only time you round up a computation is on an an attorney fee.
One more thing when the fee max was raised from $4000 to $5300 SSA started charging the processing fee, with I think was something like 6% of the fee and then it gets capped at $75.00, so I wonder who put the pressure on to get the fee raised and then cap the processing fee.
Paying lawyers is a PC priority, but people wait for months to get their S9 money.
Shouldn't it be call "How to Make a Living on Other People's Misery"

SSDI program benefits lawyers more than anything.
Lazy ALJs slow up the process and they are just lawyers in robes.
