Briefs are essential

Don’t think you need a brief? Maybe, but providing a well-crafted brief to the Administration can make the difference between winning and losing your case. In fact, as a disability advocate, it can be one of the most effective tools you have to communicate your seriousness and preparation to the court. Most of all, a brief can give your client a chance to stand apart from all other claimants.

Brief Tool Pro explained

Our proprietary brief writing software allows for you to write your own briefs or have one of our attorneys write the brief for you.

The Brief Tool Pro is not only intuitive, it also utilizes optical character recognition technology to scan the exhibited disability file and complete much of the Five Step Sequential Analysis arguments.

Additionally, it will suggest the best arguments available for your claimant and identify potential issues in their case. Arguments are disability and jurisdiction specific, so your client will have a brief tailored especially for their case. From state agencies all the way to the Appeals Council, Brief Tool Pro handles claims at any level of the Administrative process.

How much does it cost to use the Brief Tool Pro?

If you generate and write the brief yourself, using our brief tool it is a $10.00 charge. If we write the brief for you, it is a $100 charge. We can write pre-hearing, on the record, hearing, or Appeal’s Council briefs.

How many pages are the briefs?

Each brief can vary in length depending on the amount of medical records provided by the claimant. Generally, pre-hearing briefs are two to three pages in length with a medical narrative of 250 to 800 words. The format of the brief will vary based on the type of brief requested.

Will the attorney review the medical records for the claimant?

Yes, if Assure writes your brief, the attorney will review the full medical file for the claimant and provide a synopsis of the case.

How many days in advance should a firm request the brief?

Ideally, the brief is requested 20 days prior to the hearing date. This allows our firm 8-10 days to write the brief and return it to the firm more than five days prior to the hearing. Briefs can, however, be completed within 48 hours of the hearing with a rush notification.
