Memphis Social Security Disability Appeals Attorney Overview

Memphis Social Security Disability Appeals Attorney

If the Social Security Administration (SSA) has recently denied a claim you made for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits, don't take it personally and don't take "No" for an answer. The SSA denies claims every day, lots of them, made by people all over the country. In Tennessee, in fact, statistics show that only about one out of every four initial applications for SSD benefits is approved.

The good news is that many rejected first-time applicants later win the benefits they need and deserve in the appeals process. In other words, don't give up.

At Gatti, Keltner, Bienvenu & Montesi, PLC, in Memphis, Tennessee, we can help you exercise your right to appeal a denied claim for disability benefits and successfully navigate that process. It is very important that you act quickly to avoid missing a deadline. Our attorneys can help you address any issues that may have led to a denial of your initial claim while acting quickly to keep your case moving forward and protecting your right to receive benefits.

The process for appealing a denied claim for disability benefits in Tennessee includes:

• Request for reconsideration – Here, you're basically asking the SSA to have a different person review the same application, which almost always produces the same result.
• An administrative law judge (ALJ) hearing – The ALJ hearing is the second stage of the appeals process and is also the stage where most cases are won. A Memphis Social Security Disability appeals attorney from our firm can represent you and prepare you to succeed at this hearing.
• Administrative review – If unsuccessful at the ALJ stage, we can seek to have your case file reviewed by the SSA's Appeals Council in Falls Church, Virginia.
• Federal court – Filing a civil lawsuit in federal district court is the last stage of the appeals process.
