How to appeal your denial for disability


If you have received a Social Security denial notice, you should immediately contact your local Social Security office if you have no representative. Of course, if you have a representative they will be notified of your denial and they should file your disability appeal paperwork for you.

If you do not have a representative, Social Security will mail the proper appeals forms for you to fill out and return. You may also go to your local Social Security office to fill out your appeal paperwork.

Just a reminder -- if you have requested that your appeal paperwork be mailed to you and you have not received that paperwork within a reasonable amount of time, you should contact Social Security.

Remember that you must return your paperwork within the sixty-five day appeal period (sixty days plus five days for mailing) or you may have to begin the disability process all over.
