Call a Tough SSD Attorney to Challenge Your Rejected Social Security Disability Claim!
Whether you have malignant mesothelioma after years of asbestos exposure as a tunnel digger or you suffered a spinal cord injury after a construction site fall or broken bones from a work-related car accident, you deserve the benefits you're entitled to receive. The harsh reality is that, unless you have a powerful SSD attorney going to bat for you, even if you have a common medical condition or disability, it's your word against the government.
Why are SSD claims denied? Often, it’s because the Social Security Administration is quite picky with the initial applications to keep costs down. They may argue your medical condition doesn’t meet the eligibility criteria, or your initial application may have had some minor errors. We know what to do next.
What happens if your SSD is denied?
First of all, don’t panic. The Social Security Administration denies a lot of initial applications; most cases are won on reconsideration or appeal. So having your initial application denied is a common, normal part of the process.
Second, get an experienced SSD attorney to handle the next steps. Pasternack Tilker Ziegler Walsh Stanton & Romano, LLP will be right by your side every step of the way. Fighting a denied Social Security Disability claim is a long process, with many phases:
- Reconsideration
If your initial application is denied, you will have 60 days to file a request for reconsideration. We will help you properly fill out the complex paperwork.
- Hearing Before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ)
If your application is denied again on reconsideration, the next step is a hearing with an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). We will appear at the hearing with you and prepare you to testify accurately about why you can no longer work.
- Review by Appeals Council
If the ALJ denies your case, we file a brief with the Appeals Council. The Appeals Council either reverses, remands, or affirms the ALJ's decision.
- Federal Court Review
If you disagree with the Appeals Council's decision or it chose not to review your SSD case, we can file a lawsuit in a Federal District Court on your behalf.
