Learn why the Social Security disability process is so misunderstood
despite the availability of massive amounts of  public information.


Have you ever wondered why so few people understand the Social Security disability process despite the enormous amounts of free information available from SSA?  Well, remember the old adage, "if you really want to hide something, place it in plain sight."  This adage rings especially true when referring to the Social Security disability program.

Social Security currently supplies so much information to the public concerning the disability program, that the information has become meaningless to all but a few who are specifically trained to use it.  Not only are there literally hundreds of thousands of pages of information available, the data is scattered among numerous locations making it extremely difficult for the lay person to use.  Information is only useful when it can be organized and interpreted in proper context.  This is all but impossible for the average citizen seeking basic information and is especially difficult for those applying for Social Security disability benefits!

As a former disability adjudicator, I am not at all surprised by this phenomenon and neither is SSA.  In fact, Social Security is fully aware of the confusing paradox created by this complex web of free information.  SSA also realizes that massive information disclosure can never be contested, which is not true for the opposite strategy of non-disclosure.  SSA has discovered that massive non-specific informational disclosure in multiple locations is an extremely effective strategy for remaining invisible in daylight.

Our advocacy training program is not a duplication of information provided by the Social Security Administration. We provide distinctive operational tools and techniques that allow our students to perform this valuable service in a safe and profitable manner.  We will show you how to properly utilize all available information, assuring your success regardless of your level of experience.
