Social Security denies a lot of applications. It's expected. But it's not the end.
The good news is: You can probably win your case on appeal and get paid benefits. It just takes a bit longer.
About 8 out of 10 new disability claims will be routinely denied. So, it's rather unusual to be approved just by filing an application.
An appeal sounds like a last resort or tricky legal maneuver. It's really quite common--almost normal--in a Social Security disability case. 8 out 10 claims will be appealed at least once, often twice, before they are paid.
The process that pays Social Security disability is not the application, it's the appeal process.
Many claimants who don't understand the importance of appeals give up after the first denial. A serious mistake. You odds get better in appeals.
TIME LIMIT ON APPEALS. All unfavorable Social Security decisions must be appealed within 60 days.
Most claimants who are denied turn to a disability advocate or lawyer to help them. Here are some facts about my services in appeals:
1. I charge NO fee upfront. You see me with no upfront payment.
2. I will never charge you a fee until you get approved and collect past due benefits.
3. My fee is regulated by the Social Security Administration and can only be paid out of your past due benefits or "back pay.
