"Just because your claim has been denied is no reason to give up hope. The majority of Social Security Disability Claims are successful only after filing an appeal." Jon W. Healy
After Filing A Claim
When filing a Social Security Disability Claim, it is important to be extremely thorough. However, even after you've done all you can or should do in completing the required paperwork, there is nearly a 90% chance that your disability claim will be denied.
Don't give up. It is important to remember that most disability claims are awarded only after the applicant has appealed the denied claim.
Social Security Appeals
Practically speaking, Social Security Appeals come in two forms: 1) The reconsideration, and 2) the disability hearing. The important thing to remember here is that you only have sixty (60) days to file an appeal from the date of the initial claim denial letter.
Filing the Request for Reconsideration may seem redundant and confusing. However, the Reconsideration should be treated as though your disability is at stake. It is very important to consult a qualified Social Security Disability Attorney at this stage of your claim.
Similarly, when filing for a hearing request, you should also have an experienced social security lawyer assist you. Statistics show that claims that are represented by a qualified attorney have a much higher chance of success than those claims that are not represented.
