DENIED DISABILITY BENEFITS? THIS IS IMPORTANT

 If you are denied Social Security disability benefits, you only have 60 days to file a written appeal.

Most claims are approved in the appeal stage.  So the 60 days matter.

 If you've been denied, this is NOT Social Security's final word.  Even though the denial letters says "You are not disabled under our rules," you may indeed be eligible for benefits.

Social Security denies up to 80 percent of initial applications.  Routinely.  They just do.  (They don't do a very good job in reviewing applications). 

At the appeals hearing level, 50 to 58 percent of claims are PAID.

If you have been denied, you must act quickly.

MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS IN A SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY CASE

What are the top 3 most important factors in a Social Security disability case? 1.  Medical Evidence. 2.  Medical Evidence 3.  Medical Evidence 4-10     Medical Evidence Federal regulations set the eligibility requirements for Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits.  A claimant must meet these strict legal requirements More than anything else, the claimant's medical evidence will determine the outcome of the claim or appeal.  Without strong objective medical evidence Social Security cannot legally pay you a benefit. Objective Medical Evidence means the result of medical examinations, laboratory tests or imaging studies (X-rays, PT scans, MRI or CT scans). This type of evidence can only be obtained by going to your doctor. There's an old adage that says truthfully:  "The path to Social Security disability benefits runs straight through your doctor's office."  Being approved for an SSDI benefit requires objective medical proof. ...

IS IT HARD TO GET SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY IN TENNESSEE?

  How hard is it to get Social Security disability (SSDI) in Tennessee? It can be very difficult.  In the beginning stages of the process, it seems like the agency is out to deny as many claims as possible.  Later--in the appeals process--it takes more technical and legal skill to move through the labyrinth of obstacles. What's the usual reason for an SSDI denial? If you look at all the denial letters, the most comm on reason given is:  You are not disabled according to our rules. The 2 main explanation for finding claimants not disabled are: 1.  You are able to perform some of your past relevant work. 2.  You can't perform any of your past work but you are able to do other work. Those are the two "catch all" reasons Social Security gives for nearly all of their denials.  Both of these reasons fall into the category of a medical denial .  The claimant's condition is not deemed severe enough to prevent all work. There are other reasons for d...

PERMANENT, TOTAL, PARTIAL DISABILITY....and OTHER SSDI MYTHS

We hear people speak of permanent disability, partial disability and short term disability when speaking of Social Security disability benefits. Interestingly enough, the Social Security Administration doesn't use any of those terms.  And they are not found in the Social Security regulations. A disability does not have to be "permanent" to receive SSDI benefit payments.  In fact, Social Security never uses that term.  A medical or mental condition can qualify for SSDI if it lasts for a period of at least 12 consecutive months and makes the claimant unable to perform Substantial Gainful Activity--which in 2026 is defined as earning wages of at least $1,690 per month. Social Security does not offer any benefit for "partial disability."  Again, they don't use that term.  It is not possible to get a partial benefit or a percentage of disability.  With Social Security it is all or none:  a claimant is either disabled or not disabled.  There's no in bet...
