How Does the Appeals Process Work?

If you are like so many others and have your Social Security Disability benefits denied, then you have three general options:

1. Give Up (we do not recommend doing this): This will just ensure that you never receive the benefits you need and deserve, so it is not the best course of action.
2. Reapply for your Social Security Disability Benefits: This means that you will have to start from scratch and still could have your benefits denied. If you are denied a second time, then you will need to proceed to the appeal level anyways.
3. Appeal Your Denial Social Security Disability Benefits: You have 60 days from receiving your denial letter to file an appeal. This can be a complicated and drawn-out process involving several stages. The first step in the process is to request a reconsideration, which is essentially a request to the government to review your application once again. If no errors were made in the initial application and there is no further medical evidence to compel the government to reconsider, then your application will likely be denied again. If your request for reconsideration is denied, then you will need to request a in front of an Administrative Law Judge. In order to be successful in court, you need an attorney who is experienced in this field and can present pertinent evidence and legal arguments. If you are once again denied by the Administrative Law Judge, then you have two additional levels of appeal – (1.) Appeals Council Review and (2.) U.S. District Court.
