DENIED SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY RECENTLY? YOU HAVE OPTIONS!

"Going before a judge to get your Social Security disability benefits is not unusual; it's the norm."

The usual result of a Social Security disability application is DENIAL.  The common reason given:  "You are not disabled under our rules."

But, if you act within 60 days of denial, you DO have options to be approved.

That first decision is made after a rather sloppy review by a state run agency called the Disability Determination Service (DDS, for short).  The DDS is a a "weeding out" process, approving only the most certain disability cases that meet all the obvious markers for disability.--while denying 8 out of 10 claims.

 A denied claimant should look at the Grid Rules, the Listings and the Compassionate Allowance guidelines when undertaking an appeal.

If you are at least 50 years of age and have done no sedentary work in the past 5 years, the Grids may approve you.  This can happen in the appeal process, especially in the phase where your case comes before an Administrative Law Judge.

Of course, it's possible that Social Security didn't have sufficient evidence to approve your case the first time around.  You and your lawyer should find additional medical and vocational evidence to support your claim on appeal. 

The Administrative Law Judge who eventually hears your case will reconsider all important evidence, including new evidence, and give you a brand new decision.

My firm recently won a case that had denied twice by Social Security.  We asked for a hearing before a judge and asked for payment of past due benefits.

This claimant was approved  and recovered about $80,000 in past due benefits or "back pay."  The attorney received a fee of $9,200 while the claimant kept $70,800.  She will receive a monthly benefit of about $3,500.

The moral:  Never accept Social Security's first denial.  Most likely, it's entirely wrong and can be overturned in appeals.
