Appealing a Denied Social Security Claim
Don't be discouraged if your initial application or request for reconsideration of a Social Security disability claim has been denied. Most Social Security cases are not won until they reach the hearing stage. This is the first time you will be able to present your case to an administrative law judge.
It is important to have a lawyer represent you at this hearing. At the law firm of Don Pilzer, PC, in Greenville, we represent disabled workers at Social Security disability hearings throughout upstate South Carolina. We offer a free initial consultation to answer your questions about the appeals process.
How Long Does it Take to Get a Hearing?
It used to take a long time, but recently those timelines have changed. We will advise you how long it will take during your free consultation.
Did I Do Anything Wrong on My Initial Application?
Many disabled workers worry too much about statements they made when they initially applied for Social Security disability. The state asks you to complete an overwhelming amount of paperwork. However, you should not be overly concerned. It's your medical file, not what you say about yourself, that matters.
Our lawyers and case managers will focus our time and resources on helping you secure benefits. We use medical, psychiatric, and vocational experts as needed to help establish a medical file that documents your disability. We follow up each case in a proactive and systematic way and are committed to guiding you through your Social Security disability appeal.
