Proven Results for Social Security Appeals

There are many reasons why the Social Security Administration may deny a claim or terminate benefits for Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income. Statistically, a majority of first-time applications are denied for both medical and non-medical reasons. Fortunately, the Social Security program offers four levels of appeal to grant claimants an opportunity to achieve a more favorable outcome. Although the process can seem overwhelming, having an experienced law firm on your side can significantly improve the success of a claim or an appeal. At Social Security Disability Attorney, P.L.L.C., we know what to include in an initial application and how to strengthen a case for an appeal. We guide our clients through the process, giving them the best opportunity to obtain benefits.
Some Common Reasons for Denial and Termination of Benefits are:
  • The claimant is above the limit for earned and unearned income and assets
  • The claimant’s medical condition does not meet the federal criteria as disabled or is not expected to last for more than twelve months
  • Social Security has not been able to contact the claimant to communicate or schedule medical appointments
  • The claimant is non-compliant with treatment and therapy orders as prescribed by a physician for a medical condition
  • Non-compliance with releasing medical records and refusing to attend a consultative exam as requested by Social Security

There are Four Levels of Appeal

Following a denial, the claimant can request reconsideration for a medical or non-medical determination. It is a process in which a disability determination specialist that had no part in the initial decision independently reviews the claim.

If the application is denied after reconsideration, the next level of appeal is a hearing before an administrative law judge. Hearings can be in-person or via video conferencing and give the claimant the chance to explain their circumstances to a judge. If this attempt fails and the claimant seeks another level of appeal, they can request an Appeals Council review the case.

The Appeals Council will choose whether to review a case. They may deny, approve or return the claim to the administrative law judge level for further review. The final appeal level requires the claimant to file a civil claim for a federal court review.
