Quite often I encounter discouraged and frustrated individuals who are disabled, have no income or means of support - and yet they have been wrongly denied Social Security disability benefits. Yes, many deserving people are denied disability benefits after they've paid into the system for much of their lives. Who corrects these mistakes?
The answer is - a judge. Social Security has its own appeal system which works pretty well if used properly. A United States (federal) judge, called an administrative law judge, will look at your case on appeal. This judge is not bound by any previous decisions on your case. He or she can look at the evidence and make a completely new decision. You also have the right to appear in person with your representative and explain your case. Quite often the judge will agree with you. If so you will get a new decision which may be much more favorable or even totally favorable to you.
Here is a key point to remember: You have only 60 days to appeal the denial of your Social Security disabilty benefits. The clock begins ticking on the day you receive the letter from Social Security stating that your benefits have not been approved. Filing an appeal is not difficult. If you need help getting an unfavorable decision changed, call our firm today. We will work hard for you and charge you no fees until your back pay is collected.
