Allsup - True Help with Social Security Disability Insurance
“Allsup has always been a strong advocate for our customers with disabilities. We are driven to make a difference for those who can no longer work due to a physical or mental disability.” – Jim Allsup, founder and CEO
Belleville, Illinois (PRWEB) May 14, 2015
Belleville, Ill.—May 14, 2015―Allsup Inc. said today it had reached a historic milestone in its 31-year history–helping 250,000 customers with disabilities successfully navigate the complex Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) process.
“Allsup has always been a strong advocate for our customers with disabilities. We are driven to make a difference for those who can no longer work due to a physical or mental disability,” said Jim Allsup, founder and CEO. “It may not always have been politically popular, but our goal has been to ensure that someone who is eligible gets the benefits they earned while working and deserve.”
Over the years, Allsup has created new services that meet a broad range of needs when a disability affects individuals and their families. In addition to SSDI representation, Allsup now provides healthcare insurance assistance, which helps claimants navigate the health insurance marketplace and exchange plans, Medicaid and Medicare, at no cost. The company also introduced the Allsup Medicare Advisor® and Allsup Veterans Disability Appeal Service®.
For those who obtain Social Security disability benefits and can return to work, re-employment assistance is now available to individuals through Allsup Employment Services Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allsup and a Social Security-approved Employment Network.
Reasons For SSDI Representation

- Expert assistance. Allsup disability experts know Social Security’s requirements and regulatory policies. This expertise is applied to properly completing and filing forms, including accurate documentation, and retrieving medical evidence to support customers’ claims.
- Advocacy. Individuals who choose Allsup receive expert assistance focused on helping them receive benefits with their initial application (a three- to six-month process). More than 50 percent of Allsup customers avoid appeals because of this. This compares to the nationwide average of only 32 percent who received benefits with their application in fiscal year 2014.
- Preparation. If a hearing is scheduled, an SSDI representative can provide invaluable assistance with preparing the claimant for the hearing, providing information to the administrative law judge, and helping customers deal with what can be a highly stressful experience.
- Success. Expert SSDI representatives such as Allsup continue to pursue benefits when individuals without an advocate may give up and decide not to appeal denials. Allsup has a 97 percent success rate for customers who complete the SSDI process with them.
Marking 250,000 satisfied customers is just one milestone of many the organization anticipates meeting in the coming months and years, CEO Jim Allsup said. “The Allsup team of experts is at the front line of providing specialized and superior service to individuals with disabilities. Our customers count on it.”
