Did you receive a letter from the Social Security Administration denying your disability benefits and decided just to give up? Not so fast, there are different reasons why you can be denied and you may want to appeal the denial you received. Indianapolis Social Security disability attorney Scott Lewis and his staff talk to numerous clients every week about the reason or reasons for their Social Security disability denial. You might find it helpful to discuss your denial with an attorney like Mr. Lewis to find out what your options are.
While there can be financial reasons why your claim was denied, many claims are denied because the Social Security Administration (SSA) has decided your disabling condition is not severe enough to qualify you for disability payments. If you have been denied because the Social Security Administration believes you can perform some type of work, but you believe your disability prevents you from working you have the right to appeal the decision. The majority of disability claims are denied in the initial stage and many statistics show your chances of winning your disability claim increase if you file an appeal.
It is important for Indiana residents to use the appeals process if they feel they were unjustly denied their Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.
