Reconsideration of a disability denial- what does it involve ?If you wish to pursue your disability claim after a denial of your disability application has been received, it is a fairly simple procedure. Remember, if your disability claim (social security disability or SSI) has been denied you will have sixty days to file an appeal (you will have received a notice of denial with the date of the denial stamped on the first page). This, of course, does not mean that you should mail the appeal in on the last day. The appeal actually has to be received by the end of the appeal period. So, you shouldn't waste time in doing this. If the Social Security Administration does not receive the disability appeal from you within the established appeal period (sixty days from the date of your denial), your request for reconsideration may not be granted. If that happens, you will have to begin the Social Security disability process again by filing a new application with social security. In other words, you will have to start all over again. To avoid a late filing of a request for reconsideration, if you receive a Social Security denial letter, immediately contact your local Social Security office or the toll free number 1-800-772-1213 and request an appeal. You may also go to the Social Security office and get the proper paperwork or you may request that the appropriate forms be mailed to you. Remember you must return your appeal within the appeal period. If you are represented by an attorney, of course, you can contact your attorney and have them file the request for reconsideration for you.
