What to Do If Your Disability Claim Has Been Denied

If your disability claim has been denied, what should be done now? I will show you in this article, in a step-by-step process exactly what type of appeals you should file. If your disability claim has been denied, then apply this advice to your situation, and use it to help you take the proper course of action.

First, don't take your denial personally. Over 60% of initial claims filed with the Social Security administration office are denied. Sometimes it's because the claims are not legitimate, but often it's because the proper information was not provided on the initial application.

You can file for a request for reconsideration, if you feel you have more information, or can present your disability better than when you first filed. Use this as a chance to strengthen your claim by securing additional documents and medical records. You should consider anything that you think will help strengthen your case when you file for your request for reconsideration.

Your request for reconsideration can take anywhere from two weeks to six months of processing before it is approved. This is because it depends on how many cases are currently pending in the Social Security administration's office, as well as what new information you have provided to them.

Disability claims can be denied on various different grounds. That's why you should contact your local Social Security administration's office to get the proper forms to file for your request for reconsideration, to make sure your appeal is on the proper grounds. And finally, you must file your apparel within 60 days of your denial, otherwise your case will be thrown out.

If you're denied on your request for reconsideration, it's time to file your next appeal. In this appeal, you will stand before an administrative law judge, and your case will be argued orally. It may be wise to consult a disability lawyer, if you find yourself in the situation.

If your disability claim has been denied at this level, don't give up yet. If you're convinced you have a legitimate claim, appeal next to the Social Security Administration Appeals Council. If still denied, your last hope resides in the Federal District Court.

In conclusion, I have given you information on what to do if your disability claim has been denied. Follow this guide, and determine which appeal needs to be filed, and take action today.
