Summary: One of three best Social Security disability books
Review: As a lawyer I recommend three books to individuals who ask for help in getting their Social Security disability benefits. First is our Disability Workbook for Social Security Applicants. Everyone tells me that this book greatly simplifies getting disability benefits. I can testify that interviewing a client is much easier when he or she has used the Disability Workbook. Second, the book How to Get SSI and Social Security Disability, by Mike Davis, is insightful and easy to read. Mr. Davis is a former disability examiner. His clear explanations of common bureaucratic problems make his book one of my favorites. Finally, I use Dr. David Morton's Nolo's Guide to Social Security Disability. Dr. Morton is a former disability determination services staff physician who describes Social Security medical decision making better than anyone else I know. Every doctor who communicates with Social Security about patients should have Dr, Morton's book on the shelf - and every disability lawyer. I give all three books the highest rating.

Summary: Worth much more than the price
Review: Bought this book (as part of 3 books) to prepare for filing ssdi. The author gave lots of insights into how the dis. examiner who is reviewing the paperwork does the eval and what they are looking for. Having this info helped me win my case on my first try. Would recommend this book to anyone interested in winning their ssi or ssdi. Calaveras-cutie

Summary: Author's perspective -- invaluable
Review: From the perspective of a disability claims examiner, Mike Davis effectively articulates the importance of the completeness of the application and also the communication with doctors and the claims examiner. Volumes of documentation are critical, and Mr. Davis helps claimants through this process. Mr. Davis returned my emails promptly and provided a great deal of support. I would highly recommend this book to anyone filing for SSI or SS Disability Insurance.

Summary: How to Get SSI and Social Security Disability
Review: This book has been invaluable to me. Michael Davis describes the application process from the perspective of a professional who, for 7 years, made social security disability claims decisions. He emphasizes the importance of completeness and accuracy, and "spoon feeds" you with what the claims examiner is looking for and how you can help him/her obtain all the details necessary to make an informed decision.The social security disability application process can seem daunting, but Mr. Davis breaks it down into simple terms. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: a full five stars in my opinion
Review: This book really helped me to get ssi. His email address is in the back of his book and he actually answered me in one day when I asked a question. I was doing the wrong things and sending stuff in that didn't help me. The book explains what you need to do and not a lot of theory-it's a real how to. Thumbs up!!

Summary: A Necessary Tool
Review: This is the book I wish I'd had when my son became disabled and had applied for disability. We were over-whelmed and confused with the whole experience. If we had known about this guide we would have saved a lot of time and frustration. This truly is what the author calls it, "a simple, step by step guide." I recommend it not just for people who are applying for disability, but for anyone who is helping a friend or family member apply. It's short, sweet, to the point, and an invaluable guide from someone on the inside. You really feel like he's on your side and wants to help you. His email address is also on the back of the book.
