5.0 out of 5 stars Used for Training Social Security Legal Assistants
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2018
Verified Purchase
I ordered this book to help train my new hires that will be managing our clients' social security files. This book came in new condition and very quickly. I ordered two at first to read and provide to a new hire that started today. I am now ordering a few additional books as all of our legal assistants are asking for a copy of their own. Not many legal assistants are familiar with social security disability law and the training has always been super overwhelming for new hires as it is a lot of information to take in, however, this book has been very helpful in breaking things down in layman's terms for beginnings to the Social Security process. This book is also helpful for our current legal assistants to help answer their many questions. It has made them more confident in answering their questions. I wish we could provide this book to all of our clients but it would be too pricey to provide this book to so many clients. Those of you that are looking for file for disability benefits should get this book as it will certainly help you through the process.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Step-by-Step Guide
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2018

The author wrote this guide as if he were sitting next to me while I worked on a client case. He gives truly practical tips that would be difficult to determine if I were working without this book... unless I had already been at this kind of work for 10 years. This book is so clear that I am able to create checklists to use myself when I am helping clients apply for SSDI. If you or someone you know is applying for SSDI, you must get this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nolo is the standard de facto on legal books
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2018

I have a 23 year legal background in State Government. This book was written well by experienced professionals. Highly recommend this book over any others. For those thinking the "dummies guide" & "idiots guide" will do is the wrong way to go. This book is on a whole new level and still written for non legal or professionals. The everyday individual can easily understand this book and it is up to date for 2018.

Better to get an attorney because the laws and the system are built to work against you. Way too much to read if you are casually interested.
