On Behalf of | Sep 2, 2018 | Uncategorized

If you are unable to work due to a medical condition or injury, you understand how overwhelming this can be for your Florida family. When you cannot work, you cannot support yourself or your loved ones, and it can cause serious financial distress. It can be very important to secure financial support through a Social Security disability claim. 

It is not easy to get the benefits you need through a claim with the SSA. In fact, many initial claims come back denied. This can be disheartening and overwhelming, but in reality, it is rather common. Fortunately, you have several options available to you by which you can fight back. You may still be able to claim the benefits you need and deserve. 

What is next after a denial?

One of the main things you can do after a denied claim is to understand why your claim did got get approval. Once you identify the issue, you can begin to work on your appeal, addressing the problems and gathering important evidence. Some of the most common reasons why claims do not get approval include the following:

  • You may make too much money.
  • It is possible your disability relates to drug or alcohol addiction.
  • There is no evidence you followed the doctor’s orders and treatment plans.
  • You did not include sufficient documentation in your claim.
  • Your disability will likely not last for a period of at least one year. 

After receiving a denial, this is not the end of the road for you. It can be helpful to start with a complete evaluation of your case in order to understand how to proceed. You have the right to seek an appeal of your claim and continue your pursuit of the benefits you need.

You can keep fighting 

Many applicants face the same frustration, but often, people become overwhelmed and disheartened, and they give up. You do not have to give up on your claim, but you can seek help for the entire process.

You have the right to seek help at any point in the process, but when you have experienced guidance from the very beginning, it can lower your chances for issues and setbacks. Before you apply, it can be helpful to learn about eligibility requirements and what you need to complete your application. It is an arduous process, but you do not have to walk through it alone.
