If your Social Security Disability (SSD) claim was denied, you’re not alone. The Social Security Administration (SSA) rejects the majority of first-time applications, often due to insufficient medical evidence, missing paperwork, or minor errors. However, a denial doesn’t mean you’re out of options—it just means you may need to file an appeal with stronger supporting documentation.
There are four levels of appeal: Reconsideration, Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Hearing, Appeals Council Review, and Federal Court Review. Many applicants find success at the ALJ hearing stage, but preparing a strong case requires updated medical records, expert testimony, and legal representation. Without a lawyer, your chances of success drop significantly.
