Most applications for Social Security Disability benefits are denied. Social Security Disability Claims are denied even if you have a good case. In fact, over 60 percent of claims are denied at the initial stage. This could be for a variety of reasons, and our attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm would be happy to offer you a free consultation regarding your Social Security Disability claim.
What Can You Do After a Social Security Disability Denial?
If you received a denial letter from the Social Security Administration, you or your Denver SSDI attorney have 60 days to appeal the decision. When your lawyer appeals the decision, your Colorado attorney will request a disability hearing. The hearing is held by a Federal Administrative Law Judge.
How Does the Appeals Process Work in Colorado?
Colorado is one of 10 States where it is easier to get a hearing. If a claim is denied in Colorado, you or your attorney can immediately request a hearing. In most other States other than Colorado, you must request a reconsideration appeal, which will take more time to get your Social Security Benefits.
Why Should You Have an Attorney at Your Disability Hearing?
Statistics show that your chances of winning your Social Security case dramatically increase if you are represented by a Colorado attorney at the hearing. If you were denied Social Security disability benefits and have a question about your denial, please contact our team at The Wilhite Law Firm. We will be happy to help you with this issue.
