Many Indiana residents suffer from severe back problems that make it difficult if not impossible to work. While back problems can vary, many individuals complain of back pain. Back pain can result in an inability to stand, walk, and sit for certain periods of time. If you have been denied disability benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA) and believe you are unable to work it may be wise to appeal that decision. It is important to remember the majority of disability claims are denied by the SSA, and disabling conditions from your back are no exception.

For many people frustration may set in when going through this process. It is important, in my opinion, that you pursue your appeal if you believe you are unable to work.
Always remember there are time limits when filing a request for reconsideration or asking for a hearing in front of an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).
