Why Did My Social Security Disability Appeal Get Denied?

You took the steps to apply for Social Security Disability, not because you wanted to (who would want to go through this process?), but because you need to. Living with a disability that renders you unable to make a living left you in a vulnerable position. Then, your claim was denied. As discouraging as it was, you mustered up all of the tenacity you could and filed your Social Security disability appeal. After all of that effort and the conscious choice to not give up, you were sure that your determination would be rewarded with the benefits that you deserve; then, you were hit with another rejection, and you’re at a loss.

Why is this happening?

When a Social Security disability appeal is denied, it’s usually one of two reasons:

1. Incorrect or Inadequate Information: The good news is, if there are clerical errors in your claim documents, this is something that hiring a disability attorney can fix. Disability lawyers specialize in these cases; they see these claims every day and they know what works and what doesn’t. Your disability attorney can look over your claim, correct mistakes and let you know what additional information could be beneficial.
2. They Determined You to be Ineligible: Common reasons that claims are ineligible: disability is only temporary, failure to follow doctor’s orders, or drugs played a part in causing your disability. Also, high income or high levels of education often lead the SSA to believe that you are capable of working, even with a disability.
