How to Become an SSA Disability Advocate and Operate Your Own Business In Just 20 Weeks

Disability Advocates of America (DAOA) is looking for those special ambition-driven individuals with the entrepreneurial desire to join that unique group of dedicated professionals known as Social Security Administration Disability Advocates who have the discipline and tenacity to help those unfortunate disabled Americans who have applied for their SSA disability benefits in good faith and have been handed the crushing disappointment of benefit denial.

In addition to highly motivated individuals with no previous advocacy experience, we believe the following individuals would be ideally suited to take advantage of this opportunity:

  • Practicing non-attorney representatives looking to expand both their knowledge and their case load with new and efficient business methods;
  • Paralegals specializing in SSA disability law working independently or for a disability law firm or department who desire to strike out on their own;
  • Former SSA Disability Examiners or adjudicators who would like to practice privately, or even;
  • Former Administrative Law Judges who wish to apply their very specialized knowledge and experience in the private sector.

DAOA has created a unique Training Initiative & Business Opportunity that is scheduled to launch on Wednesday, October 13, 2010 with a limited number of “seats” or openings for those who are interested in learning how to:

  • Provide one of the most personally rewarding and socially relevant disability assistive services currently available today to anyone with:


    • A college or professional degree;
    • Personal drive and ambition;
    • The ability to reason logically;
    • A medical background or the ability to learn how to analyze medical records, and;
    • The ability to write with clarity, conviction and compassion.
  • Establish a disability advocacy practice as an independent, virtual, highly automated business that will insure success and profitability throughout the long and challenging process of:


    • Identifying prospects;
    • Inviting retention of your services;
    • Advocating for your clients from initial contact through appeals to claim approval, and;
    • Maintaining and processing the data and paperwork intensive requirements of a legal-practice-like environment.

Millions of graying “Baby Boomer Generation” Americans, now rolling over the Social Security Administration like a tidal wave, with their early retirement benefits and their age related disabilities, provides an almost endless opportunity for the well trained and business savvy professional advocate. Winning approval of a previously denied SSA disability claim can result in as much as $6,000 per win.

And the really good news is learning how to become an SSA disability advocate and helping individuals get their denied disability benefits approved is the only federally mandated and federally legislative-based program that allows for non-attorneys to represent individuals and practice law without a law degree before the Social Security Administration.

However, please consider the following:

    From the day you invite your first disability-claim-denied prospect, to retain you as their Claimant Appointed Representative, your successful, diligent work, as a disability advocate to get their denied benefits approved, will not see the light of day fee paid for your efforts by your client for at least 1 to 2-1/2 years.

This is the most significant fact you must consider when determining whether or not you wish to invest in this life-long pursuit. And this is the key topic of any discussion that will be initiated between yourself as a candidate for this program and the originator of this Training Initiative & Business Opportunity program.

The new DAOA Training Initiative & Business Opportunity is just that … a truly unique “Training Initiative” and “Business Opportunity”. So … how does all this work?

Basically, there currently are two (2) disability benefit advocate training programs available through the Internet. They are designed as home study kits. Check it out. But there are ZERO programs that not only offer training as an advocate but also training as a successful disability benefit advocacy business practice and provide for an online instructor to provide additional expertise and professional insight.

If you seriously are contemplating learning how to be a successful disability advocate, wouldn’t you like to learn how to operate a successful advocacy as a business as well? It’s important to understand that being an advocate and serving individuals anywhere involves learning how to serve their needs based on your ability to maintain control of all aspects of their claims, information, data and paperwork.

DAOA’s unique Training Initiative & Business Opportunity is designed to provide you with both:

  • The legal and professional skills required to become an exceptionally qualified and fully knowledgeable SSA Disability Advocate and;
  • A successful business person who can maintain a profitable level of claims, process the necessary data and paperwork required and to successfully and diligently discharge all responsibilities related to claim processing on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.

The Training Curriculum

DAOA’s Training Initiative & Business Opportunity is scheduled as a 20-week course of training and consists of your:

  • Following a formal text-book-centric presentation of the key topics related to disability advocacy legal practice core requirements that will lead to the understanding and successful practice of becoming a successful SSA disability advocate;
  • Learning how to establish a “virtual” business in order to control all data and paperwork requirements using the proven DAOA method of generating, organizing and distributing key documents to the appropriate parties at exactly the right time, and;
  • Exploring all promotional alternatives available to provide your advocacy practice with an uninterrupted supply of clients on a local, regional and/or national basis;
  • Evaluating the DAOA automated system of data and paperwork control, as demonstrated by your instructor, with an eye toward system acquisition to increase your case work at the right time for your existing or budding new advocacy practice.

Participating in the weekly online and telephone-based, 2-hour training sessions that, each week, first will review and discuss the text book assignment to help clarify each advocate topic and to provide for actual practice insight through a Q & A format. This will be followed by both business processes and procedures topics as well as promoting your business topics followed by another Q & A session.


Your First Client & Your Business Model

Following the twelfth session, you will be encouraged to solicit and invite your first prospective client to retain your services as Claimant Appointed Representative. For those students who have no previous advocacy experience, this will mark the inauguration of your advocate practice.

With the acquisition of your first client, you will have the opportunity to have your case processing progress monitored by the course instructor as you proceed with the remaining sessions of the course and the opportunity of seeking an experienced advocate’s insight into those issues that inevitably arise as challenges to the fledging advocate.

Also, at this point in time you will be deciding on a number of key issues that initially will define both:

  • The geographical scope, and;
  • The business model you choose to implement in order to apply your new disability representation knowledge.

Some of those key issues you will decide include:

  • Will I operate independently under my own business identity or should I choose to practice under an existing, high-profile, Internet-based brand name?
  • Is my virtual office properly equipped for my new practice?
  • Should I practice locally/regionally or nationwide?
  • Am I prepared to launch my promotional campaign on either a local/regional or nationwide basis?
  • Am I able to maintain the case processing level I’m targeting with my current system technology?

Information that can provide initial resolution for each of the above-five issues will be presented throughout the first 12 sessions of the DAOA Training Initiative & Business Opportunity. This includes a demonstration of a fully automated, legal practice software system customized specifically for the practice of SSA disability representation. It is important to note that such a system will be offered under separate contractual arrangements with DAOA and will carry a cost concomitant with the increase in advocacy practice that can lead to significantly increased revenue stream.
