Regarding the issue of representation and representatives:

While a disability attorney or non attorney representative cannot guarantee that a claimant will be awarded social security disability or ssi benefits, such an individual can guarantee that a case will be properly developed prior to a hearing date. 

The simple fact of the matter is this: most ssdi claimants will have no idea how to thoroughly prepare a disability case for a hearing, whereas an attorney or non attorney disability representative can apply a certain level of familiarity and expertise with social security rules and regulations toward the goal of obtaining a favorable outcome on a case. And, in many cases, an attorney or non attorney representative will have several years of invaluable ssdi and ssi claim experience to lend to a claimant's disability case. 

Can a claimant who is not represented by an attorney or non attorney in Hawaii still win an ssd or ssi disability claim at an ALJ hearing? Yes. And, in factthis does occasionally happen. 

However, the odds of winning a social security disability or ssi claim in Hawaii before an Administrative Law Judge are markedly decreased when a claimant does not employ the services of an attorney or non attorney representativetherefore, a claimant should weigh the risk of going unrepresented to a hearing when their future livelihood is literally at stake---particularly when it takes so long to get to an ssd or ssi disability hearing in the first place. 

And even unrepresented ssdi claimants in the state of Hawaii who are successful and win their claims may not obtain the most favorable onset date for the commencement of their benefits. The date of onset and the date of entitlement, of course, will determine how much a claimant will receive in backpay; therefore, being able to prove the earliest possbile onset is of extreme importance for a social security disability or ssi claimant. 

Though attorney or non attorney representation in Hawaii is never required in a disability claim, to attend a hearing before a judge without the assistance of a disability attorney or non attorney representative is unwise and may result in a lost opportunity to win disability benefits.
