What If Social Security Denies My Claim for Disability Benefits?

If the Social Security Administration denies your application for Social Security Disability Benefits, you only have 65 days to appeal and ask for a hearing to present your claim to an Administrative Law Judge.This 65-day period starts from the date stamped on the Social Security Administration’s letter stating your claim was denied.

 

One of the biggest mistakes some people make is getting discouraged, delaying action, and missing the 65-day deadline. If you do not file an appeal before the deadline, and try later to get Social Security Disability benefits, the Social Security Administration will make you start at the beginning. You will have to fill out the application all over again and wait several more months for a decision.

 

Do you have a chance to win your Social Security Disability claim , if you appeal?

 

Yes! The Social Security Administration often denies Social Security Disability applications at first, and then approves benefits on appeal.

There are many reasons why it may be necessary to appeal to win Social Security Disability benefits . Perhaps, an individual’s first Social Security Disability application left out important medical information or did not list all the limitations caused by the disabling medical condition. Sometimes, a person is completely disabled, but has a serious illness that is difficult for most doctors to diagnose.

In these cases, an experienced Michigan Social Security Disability attorney can carefully review your medical records and collect other important evidence, to convince the Social Security Administration to reconsider, and approve your Social Security Disability benefits.
