This information may help claimants with representation, as well as claimants who are not represented by an attorney or non attorney representative. Understanding how the Social Security Disability system works can make the difference between winning or not winning the continuing disability benefits and backpay to which a person is entitled. |

All social security disability lawyers and non attorney representatives are allowed to charge, as their fee for providing representation on an ssd or ssi disability claim, up to 25% of whatever total backpayment a claimant receives. The fee that may be paid to a disability lawyer or non attorney rep, of course, is contingent on winning an ssd or ssi disability case. Additionally, it should be said, many disability representatives will also charge for the cost that is incurred to gather evidence from a claimant's doctors and other treating sources. It would be unusual in most instances, however, for this cost to exceed two hundred dollars per case (and, usually, the cost of this is lower). A claimant's representative, attorney or non attorney, may choose to get an upfront deposit for this purpose, or may simply "front the cost" themselves and ask for reimbursement later when the case has been concluded.
