Navigating A Denied Social Security Disability Claim In Indiana Or Kentucky
When you receive notice of a denial of your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) claim, it can feel like a significant setback. But with West Sixth Law‘s experienced legal counsel in Madison, Indiana, a denial is just the first step in the fight for your rights. Our team is well-versed in navigating the complex landscape of claim denials and appeals, ensuring that you have the strongest possible representation.
At West Sixth Law, we understand that the Social Security Administration (SSA) denies many initial claims for various reasons. This can be due to insufficient evidence of disability, lack of medical documentation or discrepancies in the application. Since 1976, our attorneys have been tackling these challenges head-on, combining decades of legal service with a commitment to personalized, compassionate advocacy. Our deep roots in southern Indiana and northern Kentucky, along with our proactive community involvement, allow us to bring a local, intimate approach to each case we handle.
Why Might An SSDI Claim Get Denied?
An SSDI claim might get denied if the evidence fails to convince the Social Security Administration of your inability to work. Common issues include incomplete medical records, not following prescribed therapy or the SSA not receiving enough information about your work history.
Addressing these issues proactively involves gathering comprehensive medical documentation and ensuring your work history accurately reflects your disability’s impact on your ability to work. Our attorneys at West Sixth Law can help you file your application to avoid these common issues and prevent a denial.
What Can I Do If My Claim Has Been Denied?
Receiving a denial of your SSDI claim is not the end of the road, and you can appeal the decision. The disability appeals process includes several stages, starting with reconsideration, followed by an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) hearing, a review by the Appeals Council and potentially a federal court review.
At each step, having a skilled Social Security Disability attorney is crucial. Our attorneys at West Sixth Law can help by developing a compelling case, representing you at hearings and ensuring your appeal is filed accurately and promptly.
How Long Do I Have To Appeal A Denied SSDI Claim In Indiana?
In Indiana, you have 60 days from the date you receive your denial notice to request an appeal. This tight deadline makes it essential to act quickly and consult with a Social Security Disability attorney to prepare your appeal effectively.
