Terms and Conditions

Welcome to the website of Aplin Disability. By accessing or using this website, you agree to the following Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use this website.


1. General Information Only

The information provided on this website is for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not intended to constitute legal advice, medical advice, financial advice, or a guarantee regarding any Social Security Disability or VA disability claim.

Every claim is different, and outcomes depend on the individual facts, evidence, applicable rules, and decisions made by the appropriate government agency or reviewing authority.


2. No Representative-Client or Attorney-Client Relationship

Viewing this website, submitting a contact form, sending an email, leaving a voicemail, or otherwise contacting Aplin Disability does not automatically create an attorney-client or representative-client relationship.


A formal relationship begins only after Aplin Disability has:

  • Reviewed the matter;
  • Confirmed that we are able and willing to assist;
  • Completed any necessary conflict or eligibility review; and
  • Entered into the appropriate written representation agreement or authorization.

Please do not assume that Aplin Disability represents you unless you have received confirmation from our office.


3. Social Security and VA Representation

Aplin Disability assists individuals with matters involving Social Security Disability benefits and VA disability benefits, including certain applications, appeals, hearings, and claim development.

Representation is provided only by individuals who are legally authorized, accredited, licensed, or otherwise permitted to provide the applicable service.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as a representation that every service is available in every jurisdiction or for every type of claim.


4. No Government Affiliation

Aplin Disability is an independent disability advocacy practice and is not affiliated with, employed by, or endorsed by:

  • The Social Security Administration;
  • The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs;
  • Any state or federal agency; or
  • Any other governmental entity.

Government forms, programs, benefits, and agency names referenced on this website belong to their respective agencies.


5. No Guarantee of Results

Past results, examples, testimonials, or descriptions of prior matters do not guarantee or predict the outcome of any future claim.

Aplin Disability cannot guarantee that a claim will be approved, that benefits will be awarded, that a particular disability rating will be granted, or that an appeal will be successful.


6. Deadlines and Time-Sensitive Matters

Social Security and VA claims may involve important filing and appeal deadlines.

Do not rely solely on a website form, voicemail, email, or other electronic communication to protect a deadline. Until Aplin Disability has formally agreed to represent you, you remain responsible for protecting your own filing and appeal deadlines.

If you have received a denial, hearing notice, appeal notice, or other time-sensitive government correspondence, please keep a copy and notify our office of the deadline when you contact us.


7. Information You Submit

You agree that information you provide to Aplin Disability will be accurate to the best of your knowledge.

Please do not submit unnecessary sensitive information through general website forms or unsecured email, including:

  • Full Social Security numbers;
  • Bank account information;
  • Passwords;
  • Complete medical records; or
  • Other highly sensitive information,

unless specifically requested through an appropriate method.

Submission of information does not guarantee that Aplin Disability will accept your matter.


8. Electronic Communications

By contacting Aplin Disability electronically, you understand that communications may occur through email, telephone, voicemail, text message, online forms, or other electronic systems.

Electronic communications carry inherent privacy and security risks. Although we use reasonable safeguards, no internet-based communication system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.


9. Website Content

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate and useful information. However, laws, regulations, agency procedures, benefit programs, and administrative policies may change.

Aplin Disability does not guarantee that all information on this website will always be complete, current, or applicable to your individual circumstances.

You should not make important decisions regarding your claim solely based on information found on this website.


10. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, the content of this website—including text, graphics, logos, branding, design elements, photographs, downloadable materials, and other original content—is owned by or licensed to Aplin Disability.

You may view or print website content for your personal, noncommercial use.

You may not, without permission:

  • Copy or reproduce substantial portions of the website;
  • Use Aplin Disability branding or logos;
  • Republish website content as your own;
  • Sell or commercially distribute website materials; or
  • Use website content in a misleading or unlawful manner.


11. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use this website to:

  • Engage in fraudulent or unlawful conduct;
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website or its systems;
  • Introduce malware, viruses, or harmful code;
  • Interfere with website operation;
  • Impersonate another person;
  • Submit knowingly false or misleading information; or
  • Violate the rights of Aplin Disability or any third party.


12. Third-Party Links

This website may include links to third-party websites, including government agencies, medical resources, service providers, or other informational resources.

These links are provided for convenience only.

Aplin Disability does not control and is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, security, availability, or accuracy of third-party websites.


13. Privacy

Use of this website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and shared.

Where there is a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy regarding personal information, the Privacy Policy will govern the treatment of that information.


14. Website Availability

We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to this website.

The website may occasionally be unavailable due to maintenance, technical issues, service interruptions, security concerns, or circumstances beyond our control.


15. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Aplin Disability is not responsible for losses or damages arising solely from:

  • Reliance on general information contained on this website;
  • Temporary website interruptions;
  • Third-party websites or services;
  • Unauthorized access beyond our reasonable control; or
  • A user's failure to timely protect a claim or appeal deadline before formal representation has begun.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any responsibility that cannot legally be limited under applicable law.


16. Changes to These Terms

Aplin Disability may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time as our services, website, technology, or legal obligations change.

The most current version will be posted on this page with the applicable effective date.


17. Governing Law

These Terms will be governed by the laws applicable to Aplin Disability's business operations, without limiting any rights that may apply under federal law or the laws of another jurisdiction.

Because Aplin Disability may provide different services depending on jurisdiction, specific representation agreements may contain additional or different governing-law provisions.
