Social Security Disability Benefits Denied in New Mexico? You Can Appeal

The denial of Social Security disability benefits in New Mexico can put a tremendous burden on a person and their family. As stressful and annoying as it can be to deal with a denial, the initial decision in an SSDI claim or SSI claim is not always the right way. You can appeal the denial. Here is an explanation of the different stages of Social Security disability appeals in New Mexico: 

• Reconsideration: Reconsideration is the initial phase of the appeal. When a claim for Social Security Disability benefits is denied, the first step is to request a reconsideration. This involves a complete review of the claim by a new set of eyes within the Social Security Administration (SSA). The person reviewing the claim will not have taken part in the original decision. During this stage, you can submit new evidence to support your claim.
• ALJ Hearing: If the claim is denied at the Reconsideration stage, the next step is to request a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. This is a more formal process where you can present your case in person. The ALJ will review all the evidence, including any new information provided. You have the opportunity to bring witnesses—such as medical experts or vocational experts—to support your case.
• Appeals Council: If the ALJ denies your claim, you can request that the Appeals Council review your case. This body reviews the ALJ’s decision to ensure it was made according to law and SSA regulations. It is worth knowing that the Appeals Council may deny your request for review, decide your case itself, or return it to an ALJ for an additional review.
• Federal Litigation: After all other stages of the Social Security disability process are complete, you always retain the right to take your claim to a federal court in New Mexico. Although relatively uncommon, litigation is your right when no other remedy works.
