Being notified that your claim for either SSI or SSDI benefits has been denied does not stop you from pursuing your claim. With help from an Social Security Disability lawyer at our local law firm serving Ventana Ranch, you can continue to pursue those benefits through the appeal process:
Reconsideration
The first stage of appeal is reconsideration – a complete review of your SSI or SSDI claim undertaken by a different Social Security examiner. Your attorney may submit additional information that was not part of your initial application, such as treatment provider letters and third-party statements.
Hearing
A second denial would provide an opportunity for your claim to be heard by an administrative law judge (ALJ). Your SSI and SSDI lawyer would thoroughly prepare you for how to provide effective hearing testimony.
Appeals Council
An unfavorable ruling at the hearing stage can be appealed to the Appeals Council. As a division of Social Security, the Appeals Council can either rule on your claim or return it to the ALJ for further review. We are here to ensure your SSI or SSDI appeals process provides you with a favorable outcome.
Federal Court
If necessary, a claim for either Supplemental Security Income or Social Security Disability Income benefits can be filed in federal court. A civil action of this nature must be filed in your nearest U.S. District Court within 60 days of the Appeals Council ruling. The lawyers at Michael Armstrong Law are experienced and knowledgeable in developing a powerful case and presenting the different types of documents needed for this type of appeal.
