Some Social Security disability claims are denied solely upon non-medical factors, and are never sent to the state disability agency for a medical decision. What types of disability claims receive their decision at the Social Security office instead of being sent to a disability examiner for a medical decision? If you are engaging in work activity that Social Security deems to be substantial work activity, the decision on a disability claim will be a denial. If you have not worked enough to be currently insured for Social Security disability, your disability claim may be denied for lack of insured status. Also, if you have applied for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), your disability claim may be denied for resources (cars, land, property, etc) or income (wages, unemployment, short-term disability, long term disability, and workman’s compensation). Of course, not all disability claims processed at the Social Security office are denials. For instance, both disability benefit programs allow the adoption of the other’s medical decision. What do I mean? If you are receiving SSI and you apply for social security disability or disabled widow’s benefits, Social Security can used your SSI medical decision to approve your Social Security disability claim. Of course, if your disability claim is sent to the state disability agency for processing, you will receive an approval or denial. However, no matter where your disability claim is processed, you will receive disability claim decision that is a disability approval or a disability denial.
