Why Was My Claim Denied?
The disability claims process is rigorous. Not only do you need to show extensive evidence for your medical condition, but you also need to be able to prove that you have pursued appropriate treatment for it, are unable to work in alternative fields, and are struggling to perform daily tasks.
A lack of evidence in any of these areas can weaken your chances of your claim getting approved. Pursuing your claim without legal assistance can also reduce your chances of approval. It can also make the initial disability application process more difficult since you’re responsible for corresponding with the SSA.
Whether you’re applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income, our attorneys are here to help you avoid getting rejected for benefits.
How Does the Appeal Process Work?
There is still a chance for you to appeal your denied claim, but you must work quickly. A written appeal must be submitted within 60 days of your receiving the official denial letter.
Asking for your claim to be reconsidered through an appeal can lead to a hearing before an administrative law judge. If there is a disagreement when the judge makes their decision, your claim can be reviewed through the Appeals Council.
Finally, if the appeals council denies your appeal, you can request a hearing with the U.S. District Court.
Pursuing this process without legal counsel on your side can drastically reduce your chances of having your appeal approved, so it’s wise to hire an experienced claim denial disability attorney before you file. Call (847) 299-0008 to schedule your free case review today.
