Claim Denied in Alabama? You Have the Right to Appeal

Were your Social Security disability benefits denied in Alabama? You are probably feeling stressed out, frustrated, and unsure of what you need to do next. The good news is that a denial of benefits does not mean you are out of options. The simple truth is that the SSA sometimes makes errors. You have the right to file an appeal. At Social Security Law Group, we handle all stages of Social Security disability appeals in Alabama, including:

You have 60 days from the date of an SSDI denial or an SSI denial to request reconsideration. You can and should submit additional, supplemental evidence. 
• ALJ Hearing: If your application is not approved at the reconsideration stage, you can escalate the appeal to an ALJ Hearing. Administrative law judges are wholly independent from the SSA. They can hear your case during the equivalent of a “mini-trial.” If you are seeing a review before an ALJ, you should be represented by an Alabama Social Security disability attorney lawyer.
• Appeals Council: Following an ALJ Hearing—assuming the decision in your Social Security disability case is still unfavorable—the next recourse is to request a review by the Appeals Council. The Council scrutinizes the ALJ’s decision for any legal or procedural errors. The appeals council is made up of there administrative law judges.
• Federal Litigation: The last resort in the appeals process is to take your case to federal court. If the Appeals Council denies your claim or declines to review your case, you can file a lawsuit in a federal district court in Alabama. Our Alabama Social Security disability lawyers have the professional skills and legal expertise to represent clients in SSDI and SSI lawsuits.
