Appealing a Denied Social Security Disability Claim

There are several steps which can be taken if your SSDI claim is denied in Meridian, MS, which is a similar process all over the United States. Call Muse Disability Services today to help you through your appeal, as having legal representation for a denied disability claim greatly increases your chances of winning your appeal. Your first appeal must occur within 60 days of the denial.

There are four levels of appeal, which include the following, in the order in which they occur:

• Reconsideration
• Hearing (by an Administrative Law Judge or ALJ)
• Review by the Appeals Council
• Federal Court review

In the first step, Reconsideration, another SSA representative reviews your original case and any additional or new information to determine if the denial was justified. Here, he/she will make a recommendation to approve your appeal or to deny it. If your first appeal is denied, then you will move to the next step.

The second level of appeals is the Hearing phase, where you will plead your case before an administrative law judge in Meridian, MS or within about 70 miles. Having a disability lawyer present to represent you is likely to help you win your appeal at this point, as we at Muse Disability, are experts in understanding what the judge will need to know and hear.

The next phase, if you are still denied, is the Social Security Administration Appeals Council who will determine if the ALJ’s decision was correct or if your case needs to return to another ALJ to review once again.

If at the Appeals Council step, your claim is still denied, then you will be able to take your case to the disability claims Federal District Court.

Each of these phases is incredibly difficult to maneuver through and having an expert disability lawyer in Meridian, Mississippi, such as one from Muse Disability Services will help you win your appeal in a timely manner, hopefully without having to go through each and every appeal stage.
