If you get denied on a disability appeal can you get another appeal ?


The simple answer to this question is yes you can get another disability appeal. The Social Security disability appeal process is multi level; therefore you may have another appeal for your social security disability claim if you are denied.

If your initial disability claim is denied you may file for a reconsideration of the denial, and your claim will be sent back to the state disability determination service responsible for Social Security disability medical decisions.

If your reconsideration is denied you may appeal your claim with a request for hearing. If you apply for a hearing, an administrative law judge will review your disability claim, and make a medical disability determination.

If your hearing decision is denied, you may file an appeal to the Appeals Council. Relatively few disability claims are allowed at the Appeals Council level, therefore it is often advantageous to begin a new initial claim with Social Security while you wait for an Appeals Council decision.
