Social Security Disability Denial Letter


The Social Security disability denial letter will have a date in the upper right hand corner which will be the control date for your appeal period. The actual letter explains what medical sources were used to make your disability determination, and what Social Security still considers you able to do in spite of your medical and/or mental conditions.

Additionally, the denial letter outlines the appeal process, in which you can appeal your disability denial. The appeals period is sixty days plus five days for mailing, which means that the Social Security Administration must be in possession of your appeal on the sixty-fifth day following the date of your denial letter.

Note that I stated that Social Security must be in possession of the appeal, because if they do not receive your appeal by the sixty-fifth day you may have to begin the disability process again by filing a new disability application.
