Taking the Next Step After a Claim Is Denied
If your application for SSDI benefits was denied, you are not alone. The vast majority of people who apply for Social Security disability benefits are denied on the first try. This doesn't mean you have to give up.
At the law firm of DiCesare, Davidson & Barker, we are committed to taking the next step. Our attorneys know how to move past the initially denied SSDI claim and pursue the benefits you need. Since 1994, we have been standing up for the rights of injured and ill people in Lakeland, Haines City and throughout Central Florida. You can count on us.
Filing a Request for Reconsideration of a Denied Claim
After you receive your initial letter indicating that your SSDI claim was denied, you have a certain amount of time to file for reconsideration. Our lawyers are ready to work quickly to make certain that deadline is met.
We will carefully review your initial application to determine why it was denied. When necessary, we will gather additional medical information to supplement the existing documentation. We will put together a thoroughly prepared package to send to the Social Security Administration.
Then we must wait. The next step is a hearing in front of an administrative law judge. Unfortunately, it may take a significant amount of time for that hearing to take place. When it does, we will be ready. We will present your case and advocate for your need for benefits.
