I used AllSup for my SSDI appeal and I was very disappointed in their service. They took weeks to even respond to my phone call/emails. I don’t even know what they actually did for my case if anything at all. I definitely recommend getting an attorney to represent you instead of AllSup. Edited to say: there is more info in this video from AllSup than what I got from them as a client. Plus an attorney costs the same as AllSup.

Alsup destroyed my life . I was getting ltd benefits from my employer , Alsup said relax let us get you SSDI . Yea , three denials later I had to hire a lawyer & the ltd company kicked me off the policy . Thanks Alsup . They ran me into a brick wall . I was too sick to dig into the policy . I trusted these people . I’m more than eligible . Every single one of my issues qualifies me . I should have hired a lawyer from day one instead of trusting this company .
