SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY, SSI OVERVIEW, Pt I, STAGE 2




Though many of the answers you are seekin can be found in Part 2 (see the link below) of this Overview, read Part 1 to get a handle on the social security disability process and learn how you can improve your chances of winning benefits. Unfortunately, most claims for disability will have to proceed through the Appeals system. This will be true for claimants who are represented as well as those who are not represented. However, the use of an attorney or non attorney representative can increases a claimant's chance to win benefits, particularly at the hearing level.


STAGE TWO


  1. If a claim holder decides to appeal their denial (and they should), they must file a Request for Reconsideration.

    • The Reconsideration, or recon, is the first step in the social security disability appeals process and it is exactly what it's name implies. After this appeal is submitted, a claimant's Disability case is given a second look, or a "reconsideration" of the denial.
    • A claimant has 60 days from the time their disability claim is denied (the date is stamped in the upper right hand corner of the denial letter) to file the Request for Reconsideration.

  2. Sometime after the Reconsideration is filed, usually several months later, the disability claim is denied and another letter is sent informing the claimant that their case has been turned down again.

  3. At this point, an individual again has three options: Give up (bad idea), File a brand new social security claim for disability (bad idea), or file the next appeal.
