If You Are Denied

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. DO NOT GIVE UP!

Most people are initially denied Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. About 60 – 70 percent of those who apply for the first time are denied. Applying for SSD can be a long and challenging process, but hiring a disability representative like Crest SSD to assist you could increase your chances of getting approved.

First, our team will help you with the initial claim for disability benefits. Second, if you are denied, then we will submit an appeal on your behalf. Next, we’ll request a judicial hearing and accompany you to advocate on your behalf before the judge.

The appeals process can be lengthy, but the key is not to give up! We will be with you every step of the way.

Although I am still waiting for my case to be finished, I agree wholeheartedly with what Karen said about Ms Morgan.... She walked me through every step and does not hesitate to call you if you send her an email with a question. I can't imagine how heavy and difficult their work load is since the pandemic came into our lives. One of the BIG Advertised firms told me they couldn't represent me if I appealed my case after they waited until the day of my hearing to admend some of my paperwork.Their loss!! If you don't have Patience then no this will not be the firm for you. I am letting my patience have it's way with me because in the end I am expecting an excellent ending. Keep up the good work CREST SSD .read more

I have dealt with another company prior which I was denied on 2nd appeal because I had to go back to work financial... reasons (I spoke with SSA judge). But that work situation didn't last long. So now I have gone with Crest. They fill out the application which is correct most people fill it out incorrectly and get denied. So I filled out the documents SSA required me to fill out. SSA sent me documents requiring to fill out in ink. I was denied the first time. Which is normal 60-70% get 1st time denial. Now unto appeal. I will say this that the SSA judge (that denied me the first time) seemed disappointed that I was not represented by a SSDI attorney firm. So representation I feel is necessary especially if your in the appeals process.read more

I'm very very disappointed.. I've worked my own case.. I've attempted so many phone calls since 2020..emails change of... hands with case managers.. Nobody have taken the time to hold a conversation with me. I have a brain disorder called chiari malformation where my brain sits on my brain stem by the grace of God multiple phone calls and follow up on my OWN giving updates myself to this company it took until 2022 to get somewhere.. A positive outcome came in the in I gave a call to the office to share the news for someone to call and all they did was take their money.. And still I haven't heard a voice to say I'm happy the pain is over we are happy you allowed us to represent you.. Nothing.. My heart is broken.. I'm still waiting for that call..read more

I am completely let down by these people apparently all they have done for me is file for Social Security benefits... which I could’ve done myself. Everything is left in my hands to deal with I called them and it literally took them five days to get a hold of me even though I am one of their clients. I have no assistance with any of the PaperWorks or dealings with Social Security everything is solely left me to deal with the only thing crest did for me was file Social Security for me I could have done that…..read more

I DO NOT recommend this company to help you with your social security! They don’t return phone calls, emails or do... any of the work needed to get your case approved. I DID everything as far as getting all records from my doctors, filling out paperwork for social security, I worked directly with social security because this company would do absolutely NOTHING!I had numerous calls into them which were ignored even at the end and I went through at least 4 case managers because they all quit.When my case was determined, they sure didn’t have a problem taking the 25% from me for doing absolutely NOTHING!!It’s funny how they only comment back to the people that actually give them a good review. Disgusting!If I could give them no stars I most definitely would!!read more

Poor communication from Crest! I had an easier time dealing with the State that with Crest. All they were good at was... to email that SSD need to speak to me long after I’d spoken to them. Also when I was approved in my claim it took Crest 3 weeks after receiving my notice and 1st pay to notify my that it was approved. What a waste of my time with them. They got paid for always being behind the “eight ball.” Best of luck if you use their services.read more

A big thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the men and women at CREST advocate services. In May 2020...

Everyone at Crest was very helpful going through the process and answering any questions I had .

I wouldn't even give them the 1 star. My SO used them to get his disability and it had to go all the way up to a... hearing, which he lost. The lawyer we were assigned never mentioned my SO was diagnosed with a condition that is listed under the SSA Compassionate Allowance Program. These conditions take anywhere from 2-5 years to fully diagnose and are usually fast tracked through SSA because of this.. We sent several e-mails containing the diagnose including letters from his Neurologist, copies of the MRI and ALL the other test results. We NEVER even talked to the lawyer except for a couple of days before the hearing. During the hearing his lawyer was rude and even talked over my SO trying to answer his question.Whenever we called either had to leave a voice mail or a message with the receptionist. Most of the time we did not hear back until we would call again then maybe get a call back. Most of the time it took 3 or more times to get anyone to call us.We had to file the last appeal ourselves, received a letter that they would not continue with our case Fortunately we kept all records of the days and times we sent the e-mails containing his information. Also have all copies of the attachments sent. We sent all these to the SSA Appeal Court.read more
