Social security disability appeal process
The social security disability appeal works in the following process:
1. Reconsideration
The first level is filing a Request for Reconsideration. Reconsideration is a review of your claim by Disability Determination Services. Our Goss & Fentress attorneys can file this Request for Consideration. Just give us a call or E-mail us.
2. Hearing
If in case, you disagree with the reconsideration decision, you may file an appeal with regional administrative court system established by the US government to hear cases involving Social Security Administration benefit claim denials.
The hearing will be conducted by an administrative law judge. This judge will review the work done by DDS in developing your claim, and the reasons that were given for deciding to deny your benefits.
The attorneys at Goss & Fentress have successfully represented thousands of claimants in court proceedings.
3. Appeals Council
A further appeal can be filed with Social Security’s Appeals Council, if you do not win your case in the administrative court. The Appeal Council looks at all requests for review. If the Appeals Council decides to review your case, it will either decide your case itself or return it to an administrative law judge for further review.
4. Federal Court
If you disagree with the Appeals Council’s decision or if the Appeals Council decides not to review your case, you may file a lawsuit against the Social Security Administration in the United States District Court where you reside.
