Denied Social Security Disability Benefits? Here's What You Need to Know
If you've been denied Social Security Disability benefits, you're not alone. Many applicants in Indianapolis and the state of Indiana are denied benefits at the initial stage of the application process. However, there are steps you can take to appeal the decision and fight for the benefits you deserve.
Here are the options available our disability attorneys can assist with:
- Request for Reconsideration: You can ask the Social Security Administration (SSA) to have a disability claims examiner review your case again. This involves submitting additional evidence to support your claim and having a different examiner review your case.
- Request a Hearing: If your reconsideration claim is denied, you can request a hearing in front of an administrative law judge. This involves presenting your case, along with any new evidence, before a judge.
- Appeal to the Appeals Council: If your claim is denied by the administrative law judge, you can then appeal to a legal authority outside of the SSA's administrative system. The Appeals Council will examine your case and determine if the administrative law judge made legal errors.
The road to successfully obtaining your deserved disability benefits can be quite complex and challenging.
Our experienced Indianapolis disability attorneys can help you navigate the complex appeals process and increase your chances of getting the benefits you deserve.
