What happens if my social security disability application is denied ?If you are denied for disability benefits on your social security disability or SSI application and are continuing to have significant impairments from your medical conditions that prevent you from working, you should call your local Social Security office to request an appeal of you disability medical decision (if you have a disability lawyer, have this individual complete your appeal for you). Keep in mind that the disability process may be lengthy, as there are three levels in the Social Security disability appeal process for claims that have been denied. Also keep in mind that you will be given sixty days in which to file an appeal or have an appeal filed for you by an attorney. Your first level of appeal will be a reconsideration of your disability application, the second level of appeal will be a hearing before an administrative law judge, and the third level is an appeal to the Appeals Council. If you are appealing to the Appeals Council, you should also file a new initial claim, as there are few reversals of administrative law judge decisions at the hearing level. If you are denied for social security disability, you should chiefly remember to get an appeal started and you may wish to consider representation from an attorney to improve your chances of winning your case.
