How Does the SSDI Appeals Process Work?
The Disability Law Office of Jeffrey S. Lichtman provides complete representation to people seeking SSDI and SSI benefits. Representation begins at the initial application and continues to appeals after a denial to Requests for Reconsideration and Requests for Hearing and beyond. Once the firm understands the nature and severity of your health problems, including mental disabilities, the goal is to have your case approved. There are four different types of appeals. If you are unsuccessful at one, you move on to the next. They occur in the following order:
- Reconsideration: The firm can complete and submit a Request for Consideration and an Appeal Disability Report on your behalf. This can be done over the Internet. Your medical records will be reviewed (not by the same person who handled the original decision) and you will receive a new determination.
- Hearing: The firm can complete and submit a Request for Hearing by Administrative Law Judge and an Appeal Disability Report. This can also be done over the Internet. The Office of Disability Adjudication and Review handles the appeal. You can meet with the judge in person if you want. You will be notified in writing of the decision.
- Appeals Council Review: The firm can complete and submit a Request for Review of Decision/Order of Administrative Law Judge. This cannot be done over the Internet. Your medical records will be reviewed by the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review. You will be notified in writing of the decision.
- District Court Case: Jeffrey S. Lichtman can file a case in District Court. A district court judge will hear your case. You will be notified in writing of the decision.
The firm can get your doctors involved in the process to ensure the Social Security Administration obtains a full understanding of your disability. The firm takes great care to show that the disability affects your ability to work.
You pay no fees unless your SSDI or SSI benefits are secured or reinstated. Contact the firm today for a free consultation.
