It is not the end of the line if you are denied Social Security Benefits. The application process has several levels of appeal, which can ultimately result in giving you the benefits you deserve.
Over 60% of claims are denied at the Initial stage. Even those with strong cases are sometimes denied in the hope that you will not pursue an appeal and save the government money.
Nevertheless, the Social Security Administration does give you 60 days to appeal a denial. If you do decide to appeal, the claim enters the reconsideration stage.
The process is not over yet. The Administration rejects over 85% of reconsiderations. If you decide to appeal a second time, you can ask for a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge.
This stage is your best change of acquiring disability benefits, and it is important to do your best to be prepared. Having a Strom Law social security attorney on your side can increase your chances of being approved at every stage.
