Losing a Disability Case - How to Lose an SSD or SSI Claim
There's quite a bit of information online about how to win an SSD or SSI claim that's been filed with the social security administration (not all of it is advice that I would recommend). Well, on this page we'll present a different twist -- How do you lose a case for social security disability or SSI? Here's a short list of ways to lose your case.
1. When you get denied for disability, simply give up and quit. That is absolutely the first and easiest way to lose a claim, by simply accepting your denial (individuals, on the other hand, who decide to push forward by filing disability appeals will typically have a very good statistical chance of eventually winning disability benefits).
2. If you get denied and decide to pursue your claim, don't appeal, but, instead, file a brand new application instead of filing an appeal (the first appeal is called a request for reconsideration). Most likely, you'll get denied again for the same reasons. However, if your goal is to lose your case, this shouldn't be a problem (individuals, on the other hand, who would like to win their claim will typically follow the appeals process, eventually getting their case heard at a disability hearing where they'll have at least a one in two chance of being approved.
3. Don't get an attorney if you have to appear at a hearing. After all, you know as much as residual functional capacity, medical vocational rules, substantial gainful activity, unsuccessful work attempts, the SSA definition of disability, vocational hypotheticals, and the social security disability impairment listing manual as any attorney does, right? (the truth is, 99 percent of all applicants for disability will have no knowledge of any of these things which is why representation at a disability hearing makes quite a bit of sense.
I wrote this this page tongue in cheek, obviously. But I did it to highlight one immutable fact. If you get denied for disability, you want to A) appeal, B) be as prepared as possible, and C) get representation if your case proceeds to the hearing level in front of an ALJ (administrative law judge).
