Your Claim Has Been Denied
What is the next step?  From here on out the Social Security appeals process can become complex and is often too much for an individual to handle on their own.  You may, on your own or with the help of an attorney, put in for reconsideration.  A reconsideration consists of the disabled party submitting any evidence, including any new evidence, for review.  This review can end in a new decision, where you will be given your benefits, or your claim may be rejected again. 

The Next Step Is a Hearing
If you are rejected after a reconsideration the next step is to go in front of an Administrative Law Judge for a formal hearing.  This judge will look at all of your evidence, new and old, and come to a decision.  If the decision is not in your favor, you may continue to appeal.

The Appeals Council Will Review Your Case
The Social Security Appeals Council may decide to uphold the Judges’ decision, issue their own decision, or send your case back to the Administrative Law Judge for a new decision.  Any of these scenarios may not end with a positive result for you.  In this case you will have to file a civil suit.

A Civil Suit is Your Last Chance
When all of the above steps have been followed, and you still have not gotten an approval for Social Security disability, you may file a civil suit in Federal District Court.  Hopefully, you will not need to get to this point.  However, it is very important that you have an experienced advocate in your corner, handing the complex paperwork and obtaining the documentation necessary to win your appeal.

Appealing Often Yields Positive Results
You have every right to appeal if your claim is denied.  The appeal process can be daunting but there is hope.  Three out of four people who file an appeal end up receiving their benefits.  However, it is important that you have representation.  By using experienced legal representation you can be sure that there will be no mistakes in your application, that proper documentation is obtained and that all deadlines are met.

Helping You Through The Appeal Process
Overwhelmed, frustrated and exhausted, many people will give up on their claim after it has been denied.  However, you must know that positive results are possible and even common if you have the right representation.

Don't Give Up
If you are seeking Social Security Disability benefits, the process can be frustrating, overwhelming, and confusing. Many people are denied over and over again before they are approved for benefits. Although there are many difficult and demanding requirements throughout the disability process, you should remember that the key to obtaining disability benefits is - Don't Give Up!

The Facts
Every year, approximately two and half million people apply for disability through the Social Security Administration.  Of these 2.5 million nearly two thirds or over 1.5 million will have their claims denied.  What happens when your claim is denied?  Frustrated and suffering mentally or physically, you will have to wait for a hearing.  This wait can be extremely long.  The average person who has been denied disability will have to wait an average of 499 days.  During this year and a half you will have to do without financial assistance, relying on help from family members and friends, putting a strain on everyone involved.  Once the date of your hearing has been set you may be denied again, only to start the entire process over.  There are currently 750,000 cases waiting to be heard.  If your claim is denied, that makes you case number 750,001.  There is no doubt that the Social Security disability system is backlogged and not functioning properly.  The question is: What can you do to ensure that your disability claim is approved?
