Disputing a Denied Social Security Disability Claim
When your claim for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits is denied, it is easy to get discouraged, and many people are tempted to throw up their hands and walk away, giving up on the process. This is a shame, as if they turned to an attorney with experience and knowledge of the appeals process, they would give themselves a good chance of getting the benefits they deserve. The reality is that it takes very little for an application to be denied – it can be caused by a slight mistake in the documentation or a missed deadline. At Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers, we know how to navigate the appeals process so that you have a much better chance of being approved. We will work directly with your physician to gather all of the information that’s needed in support of your claim, and take care of getting all of the paperwork filled out for each of the five levels of the process that are available. These levels include:
- Initial/Application Level
- Reconsideration
- Hearing by an Administrative Law Judge
- Review by the Appeals Council
- Federal District Court Review
Though the law does not require that you use an attorney for your Social Security Disability denial, if you use one you are twice as likely to get your claim approved then you are if you attempt it on your own. We’ll start by reviewing where you are in the process and the reason for your initial denial. Contact us today to set up a convenient appointment.
