Appealing A Denial Of Benefits

If Your Social Security Disability Benefits Are Denied

In the event your social security disability benefits are denied, two options may be available to you for relief:reconsideration and appeal of the decision, or to seek supplemental income. With either or both options, you always have the right to seek legal representation with your application, appeal or reconsideration request.

Option One: Supplemental Security Income

If you do not have enough work credits to be eligible for social security disability benefits, you may qualify for supplemental security income. Our social security disability lawyers can help you understand the different reasons the Social Security Administration denied your benefits, and how to re-apply so you have the best change at receiving disability payments and/or supplemental security income in the future.

Option Two: Appeal & Reconsideration of Social Security Disability Benefits

If you disagree with the Social Security Administration’s decision on your disability benefits, you have the right to appeal the decision. When you file for an appeal, you are entitled to legal representation to ensure you receive all the benefits you deserve. It’s wise to seek legal counsel when you file an appeal. The Social Security Administration will review your entire case, and if you are not prepared, an appeal may bring worse results than your original application for disability benefits. Four levels of appeal are available: the first level is reconsideration by the Social Security Administration; the second level is a hearing by an administrative law judge; the third is a review by the appeals counsel; and the fourth is an appeal to a federal court.
