Disability reconsideration-what is it and how do you file for it ?The disability reconsideration is the initial level of appeal for a denial of a social security disability or SSI disability claim. A reconsideration is essentially this: the social security administration will simply take a second look at your disability claim to see if the first decision (when your disability application was denied) was correct or incorrect. As with the application for disability, social security may request your medical records and may even send you to a consultative medical examination. Typically, a reconsideration decision on a disability claim is made faster than on a disability application. Unfortunately, in most cases, you are even more likely to be denied on a reconsideration than on a disability application. You may contact your local Social Security office to request your reconsideration paper work and if you have a disability lawyer you can simply contact this individual to handle your request for reconsideration. Whether you submit a reconsideration or your attorney does, the reconsideration appeal must be submitted to social security within sixty-five days (the sixty day appeal deadline plus 5 days allowed for mailing). This means it must actually be received by the Social Security Administration, not just post marked by the sixty-fifth day. For more information on: Social Security Disability and SSI Disability.
