Three keys to successfully appealing a denied SSI or SSDI disability claim
•Do Not Miss SSI or SSDI Deadlines
After a rejection during the initial application phase, you have four more opportunities to appeal SSI or SSDI denial judgments. However, you only have 60 days at each level to appeal. We have seen far too many applicants miss deadlines and have to start back at the beginning of the application process, a mistake which can delay or prevent you from getting important SSI or SSDI benefit checks for many months.
•Get a Guide Through the SSI or SSDI Process
By hiring an experienced Social Security disability attorney, you can make sure you are doing everything necessary to get approved for SSDI benefits. A skilled SSI or SSDI lawyer who understands the Social Security program can point you in the right direction, keep you from making mistakes that could result in denial, and help you comply with the numerous requirements of the program.
•Continue Your Medical Treatment
You need to continue to receive treatment and document that treatment so that your disability is supported by your medical records. Be sure to follow all of your doctor's instructions.
