Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about what Disability Law Aid does and how your information is handled.
Does this decide whether I am disabled?
No. The tools organize information and questions. The agency, insurer, plan, school, housing provider, employer, court, or other decision maker applies its own rules.
Does a diagnosis prove eligibility?
No. A diagnosis can be important evidence, but each system has its own definition, procedure, and decision maker.
Does the site calculate my deadline?
No. It helps you record dates and exact notice wording. Check the complete official document and get qualified help when timing may be important.
Are my drafts sent anywhere?
No. Organizer drafts and saved-help choices stay on this device unless you choose to export them.
Can I upload medical records?
No. File uploads are not available. The document tools accept pasted excerpts after you remove names and other private details. The text stays on your device.
Does viewing a listing create representation?
No. Contact the organization or professional directly, complete any conflict check, and obtain a written agreement when representation is offered.
Can I download something a person can read?
Yes. Each organizer can download a readable text summary as well as a backup file. Document findings and comparisons also download in readable text.
What should I do on a shared device?
Turn on “Do not keep this draft after I close the browser” before entering information. Download anything you need, clear active work, and close the browser when you finish.
Can I move my work to another device?
Yes. Download a versioned backup from My Work, keep it secure, and use Restore a backup on the other device. The file is integrity-checked locally, never uploaded, and can be merged without erasing newer work.
How can a lawyer or organization correct a listing?
Use the professional information page or a listing page to prepare a readable request. This site is not accepting online requests, so nothing is sent automatically.
Is every current public tool free?
Yes. All current public tools and listings are free to use, and there is no checkout or paid placement. A separate centrally managed $15 professional membership model is approved but not active in this portal.
