How They Can Help

Action Disability Representatives helps clients at every stage of the Social Security disability process, from preparing an initial application to representing claimants at hearings before an Administrative Law Judge. The firm works to ensure that medical records and other evidence are properly submitted and that the claimant's limitations are clearly documented in a way that aligns with SSA's standards for determining disability. For clients who have already been denied, the firm can assess the denial and guide them through the reconsideration and appeal stages.

What to Expect

Working with Action Disability Representatives typically starts with a review of your medical history, work history, and the current status of your disability claim. If you have already received a denial, the firm will examine the SSA's reasoning and identify the best approach for challenging it. Clients are guided through each stage, from completing paperwork to preparing for an ALJ hearing, and the firm handles communications with the Social Security Administration on the client's behalf throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Action Disability Representatives focus on?
The firm concentrates specifically on Social Security law and disability law. John Bishop works with clients on SSDI and SSI claims, appeals, and Administrative Law Judge hearings rather than handling general civil or criminal legal matters.
My Social Security disability claim was denied. Can this firm help me appeal?
Yes, appeals are a core part of what Action Disability Representatives handles. The firm can review your denial notice, explain the reconsideration and hearing process, and represent you before an ALJ if your case reaches that stage.
What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
Social Security Disability Insurance is based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you have paid over time. Supplemental Security Income is a needs-based program for disabled individuals with limited income and resources. Some claimants qualify for both, and the firm can help determine which programs apply to your situation.
How long does the Social Security disability process usually take in New Mexico?
Initial decisions can take three to six months, and if you need to appeal to an Administrative Law Judge, the wait can extend to a year or more depending on the backlog at the hearing office serving Albuquerque. Starting the process promptly and having proper documentation in place from the beginning can help avoid unnecessary delays.
Does Action Disability Representatives charge upfront fees?
Social Security disability representatives typically work on a contingency basis regulated by the SSA, meaning fees are capped and only paid if you win your case. You should confirm the specific fee arrangement directly with the firm when you contact them.
Where is Action Disability Representatives located?
The office is at 630 Manzano St NE, Suite A, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. You can reach the firm by calling (505) 260-4667.
