DENIALS: DENIED CLAIMS AND CASES

Social Security Disability Definitions

This information may help claimants with representation, as well as claimants who are not represented by an attorney or non attorney representative. Understanding how the Social Security Disability system works can make the difference between winning or not winning the continuing disability benefits and backpay to which a person is entitled. To win a claim for ongoing and past due benefits, claimants should learn about the disability process to improve their chances of winning.
Disability Denials are, unfortunately, what most claimants can expect to receive after they file a claim for benefits with the Social Security Administration.

Statistically (depending, to some extent, of course, on where a claimant lives), Initial claims have a denial rate of approximately 60-70 percent. Reconsiderations are denied at an even higher rate (up to 85%).



However, the fact that a disability claim has been denied is no reflection on the quality of the claim itself. The most basic fact of the SSA disability process is simply: most good cases will be denied, forcing claimants to go through the disability appeal process.

This is true despite the fact that a few fortunate individuals are approved when they first apply. Obviously, that is not the scenario encountered by most individuals. What happens, after a denial letter is received, though, can make all the difference for the well-being, and monetary prospects, of a claimant.

Claimants for social security disability, or ssi, benefits should never resign themselves to giving up on a claim. Quite the opposite, at the moment a claim is denied, an appeal should be filed immediately, and with due haste.

Though the social security administration allows 60 days for an appeal to be submitted, claimants who have been denied should appeal immediately, to avoid any chance that a claim denial might not be appealed in a timely manner.
