Denied Social Security Disability benefits? Call Joe
Social Security benefits are approved only under a very specific set of criteria. Our tough-negotiating attorneys know all the ways the law applies and will not be put off by a complicated claims process. Contact our offices right away at 1-800-CALL-JOE (1-800-2255-563).
You must be suffering from a condition that has or will keep you from employment for 12 months. If you have not been in the workforce and did not have Social Security taxes deducted from your pay, you may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income, a related program. Contact your nearest Social Security office and file a claim as soon as possible.
What to do when your Social Security Disability claim is denied
Often, an initial claim is denied. That's where Joe can help. Having experience with the system and the resources to document the validity of your condition can help put you back on your feet. Some possible reasons for initial denial include:
- Claimant will not be out of work for 12 months due to the condition.
- The condition is not the reason the claimant can't work.
- The claimant does not qualify for SSD.
- The claimant's injury is not as severe as he or she states.
Qualifying as "disabled"
To receive benefits under the Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security Income program, you must have physical or mental health problems (or a combination of problems) severe enough to keep you from working in any regular paying job for at least 12 months. The test isn't whether or not you are able to go back to your old job or whether or not you have been able to find a job lately. Rather, the test is whether you are capable of doing jobs available in the national economy. The Social Security Administration will take into account your medical condition, your age, your abilities, training and work experience in deciding your case.
