I’ve Been Denied Social Security Disability – Now What?

If you have applied for social security disability benefits and your claim has been denied – don’t be scared. This may not be the end of the road. Most disability claims are initially denied. If you disagree with the decision, you have the right to an appeal. The appeal process allows you to bring new facts to the table, correct any errors and put your claim in front of a different case agent to review your claim.

Time is of the essence in the appeal process. You only have 60 days from the receipt of your rejection letter in order to file a written request to appeal. If you do not file your appeal within 60 days, you must start the process over with a new application. The “Request for Reconsideration” form or SSA-561-U2 is available on the https://www.ssa.gov/ website.
