Disability Denial


What does it mean when you receive a denial notice from Social Security? It simply means that Social Security has found that, according to their rules, you are not disabled at this time and that Social Security feels that you can either do work that you have done in the past or that there is other work that you are able to do.

You should not be discouraged if you receive a disability denial. The disability examiners and doctors at the state disability agency are bound by strict rules and regulations in determining your medical decision. That is why do many disabled individuals do not receive a Social Security disability approval until the administrative law judge hearing.

You may ask what changes when you reach this level of appeal. Well, an administrative law judge may make a more lenient interpretation of Social Security regulations when making their medical decisions. Additionally, a disability judge may find that prior decision-makers were incorrect in denying your claim.
