DON'T DELAY - APPEAL YOUR DENIED SOCIAL SECURITY CLAIM NOW

If you've been denied Social Security disability benefits, don't delay.  Take action NOW to protect your claim and get all your benefits.

The Social Security Administration will deny 8 out 10 disability claims filed in Alabama in 2025.  Many of these denials will come after a brief, mechanical review of the application.  Often, they will not get all of the medical evidence. Faulty denials are common.

The majority of denied claims can be won and paid with appeals.  Yes, appeals are time consuming, complex and frustrating.  But they often get your money for you, including back pay or past due benefits.

Here's how THE FORSYTHE FIRM can help you if you've recently been denied (denied within 60 days):

1.  We will meet with you and get to know your disability and your needs.  The consultation is free with no obligation.

2.  If you appoint us to represent you, we will review your denial carefully to see what went wrong.

3.  We will obtain any missing or additional evidence to support approval of your claim.

4.  We will file appeals as necessary to take your disability case up the chain of command--to higher authorities--to seek payment.

5.  When required, we will take your case to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) and go with you to the hearing to protect your rights.  Note:  Over one-half of all denials are approved and paid at hearings.   

How much does all the work cost?  Absolutely nothing until you win and receive your past due benefits.  If you don't get past due benefits or "back pay," you will never pay a cent in legal fees--no matter how much we have worked on your case.  

We pledge to work tirelessly with you to get your benefits approved.  We have the skill, knowledge and experience to handle Social Security disability cases at all levels--from application to appeals.

Call (256) 799-0297 for a free consultation. You can begin with a phone call.  If a visit to our local office is desired, we will schedule an appointment at your convenience.  We never ask you for money!

WHAT YOU WILL BE ASKED AT A DISABILITY HEARING

Most Social Security disability claims will be denied twice:  First at the end of the Application process, and again after the "Reconsideration" process.  The third stop will be a hearing before a federal Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). It is here at the hearing level that most SSDI claims are paid.  So, what do you need to know about your Social Security disability hearing?     First, the judge will follow the rules established by the Social Security Administration.  His or her job is to determine whether you meet the particular laws and rules to receive disability payments.  So, it is a legal proceeding where you must prove certain things in order to get paid. Among the things you must prove:  Your insured status with Social Security:  You have worked recently enough and paid into the Social Security trust fund to gain the required "work credits" to support your claim.  You have a severe medical or mental impairment supported by adequa...

MISTAKES THAT RUIN A SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY APPLICATION

WHAT TYPE OF DENIALS DOES SOCIAL SECURITY ISSUE?

In Social Security disability, the most common denials are medical denials.  This means that Social Security doesn't believe the medical evidence in your case meets the exacting standards for an award of disability.  There are technically two kinds of medical denials: 1.  You are able to perform some of your past relevant work.  They have looked at your work history for the past 15 years and judged that your medical conditions permit you to perform one or more of your past jobs.  This is what we call a "Step 4 denial." 2.  You are not able to perform any of your past work - but there is other work in the national economy that you are able to do.  This is called a "Step 5 denial" because it occurs at the 5th and final "step" in the decision making process. There are other types of denials, not nearly as common as the two above.  We sometimes think of these as "automatic" denials or "technical denials."  They are not medical decisions...
