While Social Security disability benefits are designed to provide vital financial resources to individuals who cannot work due to a medical impairment, the majority of initial claims are denied for the following reasons:

If Social Security denies your claim, you will receive a letter informing you of the reason for the denial and your right to an appeal. The first step in the appeals process is filing a Request for Reconsideration within 60 days of receiving the denial letter. Within 60 days of receiving a reconsideration denial, it is necessary to request a disability hearing. Our disability lawyers can help to build a case that supports your claim and will advocate for you at the hearing. When you work with our winning legal team, you increase the likelihood of obtaining the benefits you deserve.

The only individuals that may be present at your disability hearing will be you, your attorney, the ALJ, and a hearing monitor who is in charge of the equipment in the hearing room and assists the judge, and a medical and/or vocational expert called by the ALJ.

At the hearing, you will be asked to testify about your prior work history (if any), your medical impairments, your inability to work and your daily life. The ALJ may choose to ask the questions, or the ALJ may ask your attorney to ask the questions. In either case, your attorney should always have an opportunity to ask the questions they need to create an appropriate record for your claim.
