REMANDS, REMANDED 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.
A Remand is simply a disability claim that has been:

1. denied by an Administrative Law Judge,

2. reviewed, upon request, by the Appeals Council,

and

3. returned to the Hearing office for a second hearing.



A remand is typically granted when the Appeals Council is able to find fault with the hearing decision issued by a judge.

The Appeals Council, of course, is the next step in the appeal process beyond the ALJ hearing level.

Claimants whose cases have been denied by an Administrative Law Judge may request that the ALJ's decision be reviewed by the Appeals Council.

In a certain percentage of cases, the Appeals Council will conclude that a judge erred, either in applying the correct vocational rules, or in failing to consider evidence that was available at the time of the hearing.
