This comprehensive introduction to the Social Security disability system begins with basic information and builds with each chapter for thorough coverage in an easy-to-read style. In each chapter, the author uses a gender-neutral character, "Chris" to pose questions and find solutions during the appeals process as a way to personalize the content and procedures, and to enhance understanding. This book is primarily directed toward paralegal programs and undergraduate legal studies or social sciences courses. As a supplemental text in a Health Law or Administrative Law course or as a reference text for law offices, this book will assist those legal professionals involved in the more than 500,000 claims heard by federal administrative law judges each year. It introduces and familiarizes the student with the disability claims process with reference to the appropriate governing regulations rather than a tedious review of case law.

social security disability and the legal professional,
By "delfish" (Mission, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Social Security Disability and the Legal Professional (West Legal Studies) (Paperback)
Having represented many people in their appeal process for disability benefits for the past 13 years, I have found that understanding the Administration's maze of regulations is full time effort. After a careful review of this book, it is my opinion that it will provide invaluable information for a newcomer to Social Security Representation as well as others with more experience. Wolf and Prozcek did a very good job and find myself referring to this book several times each week,to make certain that I did not leave "a stone un-turned'. It is my understanding that Wolfe is an Administrative Law Judge(ALJ) and Mrs. Proszek was a senior staff attorney with the Office of Hearings and Appeals-SSA, which adds to the credibility of this book. They write the decisions. Therefore, they covered in the book exactly what they would expect of a representative to provide for there client during the appeal process and at a hearing. It is a prudent practice to fully develop your case before you step in the hearing room, follow the steps in the book and you will make a better impression on the ALJ and provide your best effort for your client. I wish that I had a copy of this book 13 years ago!

Social Security Disability Representation,

This review is from: Social Security Disability and the Legal Professional (West Legal Studies) (Paperback)
This book is well designed. I used it to train people in representing individuals before the Security Administration who work for me. It provides a detailed analysis of the process and is wonderfully informative. However, a person who does Social Security Representation professionally will still be needed to add things that the book does not go into enough detail explaining or explain things that are exceptions to what the book says. However, if you want to know the disability process with social security then this book will explain it.

Good overview of SSD,

This review is from: Social Security Disability and the Legal Professional (West Legal Studies) (Paperback)
This is not a "stuffy" law book and set up like a story, keeps it interesting. It has tons of info and seems helpful, but the books says the SSD regs change frequently and this book is over nine years old. I doubt that fact will make it less helpful, but it will keep it from being the only source you will need for this type of work. I am hoping to find an area that says that IME doc's are paid to find everyone fit to work but it could be in there. Even with an attorney, it would be a worthwhile source to see if he/she is actually paying attention.
