Can You Appeal A Denied Social Security Disability Claim?
If your Social Security Disability (SSD) claim was denied, you have the right to request an appeal. In fact, most initial SSD claims are denied – it is nearly always in your best interests to appeal a claim denial rather than file a new claim or simply give up.
Below, we have provided a brief overview of the SSD appeals process:
- Request for reconsideration: The first step in appealing a denied SSD claim is typically filing a request for reconsideration. The Social Security Administration (SSA) will review the existing evidence, as well as any new evidence, and decide on your case.
- SSD hearing: The next step in the appeals process is requesting a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ). At the hearing, which operates similarly to a trial, the ALJ will hear evidence from both sides and decide on the case.
- Appeals council review: If you are unhappy with the ALJ’s decision, you can request a review by the Social Security Appeals Council. The Appeals Council may deny your request if it believes the ALJ’s decision was correct.
- Federal court review: The final step in the appeals process is filing a lawsuit in federal court. This is relatively rare but may be appropriate if you are not happy with the Appeals Council’s review, or if it denies your request for a review.
Appealing a denied Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claim is a complex process, and you should absolutely consider working with an experienced attorney. At Bahrie Law, PLLC, our Ann Arbor SSD lawyers can help you navigate the appeals process and seek the fair benefits to which you are entitled.
