Applying for disability is tough—and the Social Security Administration makes it even tougher. At Henson Fuerst Attorneys, we help people attain their Social Security Disability benefits every day. Over 60% of new Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) claims receive an initial denial from the Social Security Administration (SSA). Only a few of initial rejections are ever overturned or reversed on appeal. Reasons for the denial of a claim often include:
Firm denials are almost never reconsidered or reversed on appeal, including claimants who:
Most automatic denials fall into three categories: criminal, financial, or medical. If a disability stems from drug or alcohol abuse—or is linked to a criminal conviction—no financial consideration is available. Claimants who earn too much or will be disabled less than a year will not qualify.
An experienced professional who knows the intricacies of the claims, denials, and appeals processes can certainly act as a guide and advisor—especially if the claimant reaches the point where they feel that legal action in support of their claim is ultimately justified.
While a few appeals—those with submission errors or additional evidence to supply—still succeed on their own merits, most will not. The appeals process can be complicated and frustrating. Even when all avenues appear exhausted, claimants still have other means to pursue satisfaction.
