Denied Social Security Benefits
If You've Been Denied Benefits, Don't Delay!
You have a limited amount of time to file for an
appeal. There are also many things to discuss and consider
before filing for reconsideration or for a hearing.
Disability Attorneys, Claims Representatives, and Social Security
administrators, all agree that the number one reason that a benefits
are denied is because of a general lack of preparation on the part
of the claimant at the time of filing or appeal. If
your claim has been denied, call and talk to a lawyer right away.
Important time deadline are in place and it takes time to gather
additional medical records and schedule medical appointments, so
don't delay. Disability Appeals
There are two types of appeals:
Reconsideration and the Disability Appeals Hearing.
A Request for Reconsideration is basically asking
the SSA to take a second look
at the case by having a separate claims examiner review the
statements and records. It is administrative in nature and takes
several weeks (up to two months in some cases) for a decision to be
reached. A Disability Appeals Hearing is a
live hearing before a federal Administrative Law Judge. It is
here that your lawyer can have some of the greatest impact on your
chances of winning. Click here to read more about
