What are the chances of winning disability benefits through an appeal?There are no exact statistics to reveal exactly what the chances of winning disability through an appeal are. However as you appeal your claim through the Social Security disability process your chance of winning disability benefits potentially improves. The first level of appeal has the least chance of winning benefits, as it has been estimated that only about ten to fifteen percent of the initial decisions are reversed at this level. The best chance for winning disability benefits is at the hearings level, because the administrative law judge is not bound by the same determination criteria as the state disability agency, while making their decision. The administrative law judge can take many other things into consideration in making a Social Security medical decision; generally this is to the claimant’s advantage.
