Yes, there is an appeal level after a denial has been issued to a disability claimant by a disability judge. In fact, there are two appeals that follow the ALJ hearing. The first of these is the appeal that is sent to the appeals council in falls church, virginia. The purpose of this appeal is to have the decision of an administrative law judge reviewed. If the appeals council in it's review finds that the judge erred in judgement or in the application of rules, the case may be remanded back to the Office of hearings and appeals for a second hearing. The second post-ALJ appeal is the filing of a civil action in federal district court. This comes into play if the appeals council fails to remand a disability claimant's case back to the hearing office for a second hearing. As with all steps in the disability appeal process, a social security or ssi benefit applicant can represent themselves (pro se) in federal court. However, if they choose to proceed represented, the representative must be a licensed attorney. Disability Advocates Help with Claims Free Case Evaluation |
