The reality is that most initial applications for Social Security Disability are denied. But you still have options. After a denial, you can re-file or appeal your claim. We recommend that you appeal, and our social security disability law firm can guide you through the entire appeal process. An important note: you must request for your denial to be reviewed within 60 days of receiving a denial letter.
Levels of The Appeal Process
-
- Reconsideration review: During this process, a claims examiner will reconsider your file.
- Hearing before an Administrative Law Judge: This judge will review your claim, and any additional medical evidence you provide, and make a final decision after conducting an interview with you and a vocational expert at the hearing.
- Review by the Appeals Council of an Administrative Law Judge’s decision: This body will review the Administrative Law Judge’s decision for errors, such as failure to consider medical evidence available at the hearing.
- A suit filed for federal district court (after denial by the Appeals Council): This is the final stage, after only receiving denials, is to have a suit filed in federal district court.
