What Is an SSDI Appeal? | Disability Explained

Описание: An SSDI Appeal Application is what you file when Social Security denies your disability claim and you disagree with the decision.

Instead of starting over, you’re asking Social Security to review the denial at the next level of the process.

When You File an SSDI Appeal!
You file an appeal after a denial, such as:
• After an initial application denial
• After a reconsideration denial
Each appeal moves your case forward, not backward.

Types of SSDI Appeals!
An SSDI appeal can include:
• Reconsideration – a second review of your claim
• ALJ Hearing – a hearing before a judge
• Appeals Council – review of legal or procedural errors
• Federal Court – final level of appeal

Each stage has different rules and timelines.

What Social Security Reviews!
During an appeal, the Social Security Administration looks at:
• Your existing file
• Any new medical evidence
• How your condition limits your ability to work
• Whether prior decisions were correct

Appeals focus heavily on functional limitations, not just diagnoses.

Important Things to Know
