IS YOUR DISABILITY DENIAL A MISTAKE?

IS YOUR DISABILITY DENIAL CORRECT?

You applied for Social Security disability.  They sent you to a doctor for an examination, then denied your benefits.  Should you assume that Social Security made the correct decision?  No.  You should assume they made a bad decision because they probably did.

In nearly one-half of denials which are appealed, a judge will review the evidence and overturn the denial to award full benefits to the claimant.  In simple terms, Social Security got the first decision wrong.

Never assume a denial by Social Security is correct.  Assume it is wrong and can be overturned.

What is the biggest mistake you can make after being denied by Social Security?  Failing to appeal the denial within 60 days is the single biggest mistake you can make. Claimants lose millions of dollars every year by failure to appeal denied claims.  Don't make this mistake.

What are the risks if I appeal and lose?  There is no risk.  In an appeal, you have everything to win and nothing to lose.  If you do not win the appeal, your legal representation is free.  You cannot be charged a representative's fee unless you win.  And any attorney's fee must come out of past due benefits.  No past due benefits, no fee. Your representative must cover all expenses associated with an appeal up to the point that you win and collect back pay.  So it is win-win for you.
