IF YOU FILE FOR DISABILITY IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND GET DENIED



What do you do if you file for disability and get denied in South Carolina?



 
What do you do if you file for disability and get denied in South Carolina?

1. File an appeal

2. Do it quickly. You get 60 days in which to do this,but try not to let more than a day or two go by before making your request for an appeal.

3. If you are represented by a disability lawyer or a disability representative in South Carolina at the time you are denied, notify your rep as soon as you receive your notice of denial. Your rep should receive a copy of the notice stating you have been denied, but this doesn't always happen.

4. If you are not represented when you learn you have been denied, consider finding representation.

Why? Because if your claim is denied at the application level, then statistically it will stand a high chance of being denied at the reconsideration level (the first appeal level)...thus making it necessary for you to request a hearing before an administrative law judge where you really should have representation to maximize your chances of winning benefits.
