My name is P. Leanne Hernandez and for nearly 20 years, I have dedicated my career to assisting disabled individuals with their Social Security Disability claims. Before becoming a representative, I worked for the Kentucky Department for Disability Determination Services as a disability adjudicator, deciding whether a person qualified for Social Security disability benefits.
My extensive training included learning about every body system from head to toe and the various medical conditions that would prevent a person from working. I also spent considerable time learning the complex Social Security rules and regulations. They are constantly changing, and I am always up-to-date on them.
The comprehensive training I went through is not taught in law school, and one does not need to be a lawyer to be a disability representative. In fact, I train others how to be effective disability representatives and some of my clients are attorneys. I have the advantage of having worked on the government end of these cases, plus I have a proven track record as a representative.
I am an Accredited Disability Representative which means I have passed a $1000 test administered by Social Security to prove that I am qualified to do this work. I am also a member of the National Association of Disability Representatives, adhering to a strict code of ethics and completing annual continuing education units as required by Social Security.
I provide each client with timely and individualized attention. I am assertive in dealing with Social Security, and even the toughest of judges don’t intimidate me.
In 2005, I was the recipient of the Department for Disability Determination Services’ Commissioner’s Award for Meritorious Service, and I was the recipient of the 2011-2012 National Association of Disability Representatives’ Member of the Year Award.
I attended the University of Louisville where I earned a BA in Political Science and a Master of Public Administration degree with honors. I also have a minor in Spanish and have served as a volunteer interpreter with the American Red Cross and at the Shelby Touched Twice medical clinic.
