Toms River Social Security Disability Appeals Lawyer
Disability can strike anyone at any time. When you become disabled, you face monumental challenges. The most basic activities of life can become difficult or impossible to perform.
Despite this turn of events, you took comfort in the knowledge that the Social Security Administration (SSA) would be there for you, that the Social Security Disability (SSD) program to which you had contributed over the years, through your payroll deductions, would help replace your lost income. You "paid your dues," and you now expect to reap the benefits.
You filled out the SSD application forms, obtained the doctors' reports, and submitted them to the SSA.
Then you received the letter that added insult to injury: your application for disability benefits had been denied. You were not "sufficiently" disabled.
Fighting the Social Security Administration for Your Rights
Let us assure you: All is not lost. Your chances of reversing the denial on appeal are good; in fact, almost half of all Social Security disability denials are reversed on appeal.
We can help you. If we think your case has merit, we will appeal the SSA's denial of your benefits.
Contact attorney Jennifer D. Armstrong today to discuss your Social Security disability appeal.
How the Appeal Process Works When a client receives a letter of denial, we urge them to contact us immediately. There are time limits and deadlines, and delay can be costly. There are four levels to the appeal process: - Reconsideration
- Hearing
- Review
- Federal court review
To obtain your benefits, we must demonstrate that you meet each of the following criteria: - You meet the earning requirements for disability benefits
- You are no longer working
- Your medical condition is severe
- Your medical condition is on the SSA List of Impairments
- You can no longer do your job
- Your disability prevents you from adjusting to other work
- Your disability will last at least one year or will result in death
If we can convince the decision makers at any level that you meet these criteria, then you will receive your benefits. Your dependents may also qualify for benefits based on your disability. |
