Why Did I Face A Social Security Disability Denial?
It may feel frustrating to have your initial claim denied, but it is actually not uncommon for the initial claim to be refused. Reasons why you may have recevied a Social Security Disability Denial include:
- Your disability is based on an addiction, or the SSA thinks your disability lacks the severity or longevity to warrant the need for support.
- The SSA cannot find you in their system, or someone else is using your Social Security Number.
- You have been convicted of fraud, you have earned too much income, or you failed to follow your doctor’s prescribed therapy.
If your claim was initially denied based on one of these reasons, you can file a Social Security Disability appeal to contest the decision. If you have received a denial notice withing the last 2 months, you may be eligible for a reconsideration or an appeal before an Administrative Law Judge.
