While some aspects of the SSA application process can be done over the phone or online, there are many reasons to go directly to your nearest office instead. In some cases, you may prefer in-person interactions as well.
Below are some of the reasons that a visit may be needed:
Applying for Your SSA Benefits
Applying for benefits may require an in-person visit to your Lincolnton Social Security office. A Lincolnton Disability attorney from our office can help you fill out the necessary paperwork and gather the documentation needed to support your claim for benefits.
A correctly filled-out application with supporting documentation can help ensure that your application is processed without delays.
Issues Receiving Disability Payments
In some cases, your payments may be delayed or not arrive at all. Being able to promptly sort this issue out can have a huge impact on your finances and help you avoid additional stress.
Appealing an SSA Denial
If your application for benefits is denied or another decision related to your benefits has not gone in your favor, you may wish to appeal that decision. Seeing a Social Security Administration representative in person can be one of the first steps that you take.
