What to Know Before Arriving at the Social Security Office
While visiting your Social Security office can be a helpful way to clear up issues or apply for benefits, it’s important to be aware of any obstacles that may be in your way when doing so:
- First, you should always schedule your appointment beforehand. While walk-ins are possible, you may encounter long wait times or limited availability. If you do decide to try for a walk-in appointment, it’s best to avoid late mornings and early afternoons, as these are their busiest times.
- Second, know what accessibility barriers you may encounter. The office is wheelchair accessible, but calling ahead can help you plan for any issues you may encounter.
- Finally, if you need someone to translate for you, translators are available. However, you must schedule this ahead of time. Interpreters are available in many languages, including Spanish, French, Chinese, and Arabic.

Preparing for Your Visit to the Social Security Administration Office
When attending an appointment at your Social Security office, being prepared can help ensure a productive and easy meeting.
Some ways that you can prepare for your appointment include having the right documents ready to go. The night before your meeting, make sure that you have found any necessary documents and put them in a place where you will not forget them. Important documentation to bring includes:
- Photo ID, such as your passport
- Your Social Security card
- Financial documents
- Medical records of your disability
In addition to having needed documents, it can also be helpful to come prepared with a list of questions and concerns that you have. Bringing paper and pen, or some other way to record notes, may be useful.
A Disability lawyer from our office can coach you on what to expect during your meeting.
What Should You Do if Your Appointment is Due to Benefits Being Denied?
If you are hoping to appeal a denial of Disability benefits, an office visit may be helpful for answering questions and understanding the reason your application was denied. There are many reasons that Disability benefits applications get denied, including lack of medical evidence.
Carefully read your denial letter to find the reasons behind the decision. If there is documentation you can provide to address these reasons, you will need to bring it to your appointment.
It’s important to note that while an office visit can help answer your questions about a denial, you will need to formally ask for an appeal in writing within 60 days of receiving the denial letter. Our Social Security Disability lawyers in Tryon can help you through the complex process of appealing this decision. We can gather any additional evidence that is needed to support your claim and advocate for your right to benefits.
