However, obtaining Social Security disability benefits can be a long, difficult process. For many people, their initial claim for benefits is denied — leaving them with the question of why?

Social Security Disability Appeals Process
- Application denied: You have 60 days to file an appeal (a request for reconsideration) after your initial application has been denied.
- Reconsideration: We draft a request for reconsideration, fully documenting medical evidence which supports your benefit eligibility. If this reconsideration is denied, a request for a hearing must be filed within 60 days.
- Hearing: If your benefits are still denied following the reconsideration, we present your claim for benefits in an appeal before an administrative law judge.
