Ways To Appeal A Denial
There are four levels of appealing a denied Social Security Disability benefits claim. They are:
- Reconsideration
- Hearing
- Appeals council
The reconsideration happens right after your initial denied claim, without you submitting any other evidence. Your application will be reviewed by another employee of the Social Security Administration.
The hearing is the best chance to get benefits on appeal. The hearing is a meeting with an administrative law judge who will ask you questions about your health, medical conditions and work limitations. It is a chance to meet face-to-face with someone and provide evidence for your eligibility.
The appeals council will decide cases upon a denial from an administrative law judge. It can either deny a request for review, decide your case on its own or send it back to an administrative law judge for review.
