Appealing a Denied Social Security Claim
When you receive a denial for a legitimate Social Security disability claim, it probably comes as a surprise. You have been injured, or you have a serious medical condition that means you cannot work and will be unlikely to do so for at least a year, if not more. Unfortunately, it is more common than not to have an initial claim denied. There is a process for appealing a claim — and even if you are denied a second time, there is still hope.
Obtaining Social Security benefits is a complicated process. Give yourself the best chance possible by working with a group of experienced attorneys, including the only board-certified disability specialist* in southwestern Missouri. Call the Springfield, Missouri, law firm of Schmidt, Kirby & Sullivan at 417-882-2828 or 800-345-0535, toll free, or contact us by e-mail to schedule a free initial consultation.
Proving Your Case
Never give up. Your Social Security disability claim may be approved with additional evidence of your medical condition and with the help of an experienced Social Security disability lawyer. There are timelines that must be met: If you have already been denied, your attorney must file for an appeal within 60 days.
Because additional documentation of your condition must be gathered and presented and your file must be reviewed to determine the reasons for denial, it is critical that you get experienced legal counsel as soon as possible. In addition to developing a comprehensive strategy on your behalf, we will keep you informed of developments and provide you with responsive client service.
