YOUR DISABILITY CLAIM WAS DENIED: IT WAS PROBABLY A MISTAKE!

You applied for Social Security disability.  They sent you for an examination, then denied your claim.  IT IS PROBABLY A MISTAKE.

Never assume that Social Security decisions are correct or legal.  In many cases they are neither.  Like any other large organizations, Social Security makes errors and poor judgments.  Those mistakes are corrected in the appeal process.

RULE NUMBER 1:  If your disability claim was denied, appeal within 60 days.

RULE NUMBER 2:  See Rule Number 1.

How is the appeal process different?  First, you will appear before a high level decision maker (judge) who understands the ins-and-outs of Social Security law.  You get to sit 10 feet from the judge and talk about your disability.

Second, you get to take your attorney or professionally trained advocate with you to the hearing.  This representative understands the errors made in the denial decision and how to approach the judge for a new and more favorable decision.

At the hearing, the judge is not bound by any decision made previously.  He or she will give you a completely new decision.

What are the disadvantages of an appeal?  None.  You have everything to win and you risk nothing.  You cannot be charged a legal fee unless you win, so no risk there.
