Denied Social Security Disability? Don’t File A New Application – Appeal Instead
Being denied Social Security Disability Income benefits is disappointing to anyone. However, it is very common for most claims to be denied. While it is highly recommended for people to appeal a decision if they feel it is wrong, some individuals decide to file a new application altogether. This is actually a huge mistake.
In fact individuals who file a new application hurt their chances of winning benefits. Even if the application is new, it will just be denied time and time again. By doing this, they will also give up chances of ever filing for appeal if they decide to take that option. It is much easier for one to simply begin the appeals process instead. While one might have to go through several parts of the appeal process, if the case goes to a hearing then the individual has at least at 60 percent chance of winning if they are represented.
When filing an appeal, it is a good idea to have a representative such as an attorney or an advocate who is well-versed in working with Social Security cases. Their guidance can only help your case.
