A client came to me in 2021 after he had been denied three times! He had been denied in 2019, filed an appeal and was denied again. In early 2022, this man filed a new claim, which was denied. I filed an appeal for him in March of 2022. It was denied. The claimant was ready to give up and quit. At that point, I asked for a hearing before a federal administrative law judge (ALJ)--the next allowable step in the appeal process.
At the hearing in early 2023, the judge listened to the evidence and issued a new decision: The ALJ found that my client had been disabled ever since 2021and issued back pay all the way back to February, 2021.
The point is this: Social Security will often resist paying legitimate claims and you must persist through the entire process to win and get paid!

A military veteran came to me after being denied four times by Social Security. Finally, we went before a judge who heard the case and allowed benefits all the way back to 2018. This involved reopening two earlier cases that had been repeatedly denied and finding that in each case, the claimant had really been disabled the entire time. There was a huge back pay settlement.
Social Security has been called a "denial machine." When in doubt, they deny. In fact, in the first stage of the disability application process, the government will deny 72 percent of new claims. A majority of these claims can be won with carefully prepared appeals.
I realize, of course, that it is frustrating and difficult to be denied over and over for benefits that you deserve and need to support your family. But giving up is not the answer.
The Forsythe Firm may be able to get your denials reversed and to recover months or years of back pay which you were improperly denied.
One of my clients recently recovered just over $100,000 in back pay. He was also awarded approximately $3,300 per month in ongoing benefits. Between now and his retirement age, Social Security will pay him slightly more than one million dollars!
The process is frustrating for sure, but appeals are fertile ground--where benefits get paid and families get spared financial ruin.
