The Social Security Administration, also known as the SSA, absolutely wants to make sure that the decisions that are made about your Social Security Insurance or Supplemental Security Income are correct. As a result, they carefully consider every single piece of information in the case that you are making before any decision is ever made, because this information is going to have an impact on your eligibility for benefits. When a decision is made in your Social Security Disability claim, you are generally going to receive a letter that explains the decision that has been made. If you feel the decision was not a correct one, the option of going through the Social Security Disability Appeal process is something you may want to consider. The appeals process is designed to give you an opportunity to have your case looked at again. When requesting an appeal from the SSA, there will be a reexamination of your benefits claim, even the parts of decisions that were in your favor initially. The SSA can reverse their decision if they feel their initial decision was incorrect. If you are serious about a Social Security Disability appeal, the request that you make absolutely has to be in writing, and it has to be made within a period of 60 days from the date that you receive the rejection letter. It is assumed by the Social Security Administration that you receive the letter at approximately five days following the date that is printed on the letter unless there is some way that you can prove that it was not received until later. If help is what you need with your disability appeal process, call the SSA office so that they can provide for you. The Disability Appeal process is a little bit lengthy and it may be wise for you to ask for help. First the part of the appeal reconsideration would be a hearing in front of an administrative law judge, then an appeals court will review the documents, and last step would be followed up by a federal court review. To determine how far you appeals process will go has a lot to do with the facts you present and if you can prove your case as thing progress. If you do not feel confident about your ability to prove your disability case, then it would be wise to work with someone that can help.
