SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY
If you are denied social security disability benefits at the local level, you have the right to appeal and have a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. Be sure to request your hearing before the deadline for doing so expires.
There are many reasons why claims for social security disability benefits are denied. Being initially denied benefits does not mean you don't deserve to win. Often people who were initially denied, win their cases after hiring an attorney who prepares the case more fully and represents the person at a hearing.
The issue in most social security disability cases is whether you are able to do substantial gainful employment, as that term is defined by the law. Gathering your medical records will be essential, and sometimes obtaining letters from your doctors can be helpful. It is important to go over the facts of your case with an attorney to discuss what additional steps may be taken to improve your case. The attorney would need to meet with you before she can advise you as to the likelihood of success.
