Having to live with a total medical disability is serious business and if you should become totally disabled your next greatest challenge could be getting your Social Security Disability notice of award letter. With millions of retiring and disabled Americans filing applications each year for Social Security Disability benefits, the chances are that your claim will be denied initially. Legitimate claims are denied every day and it is up to you to ensure that your claim is not one of those statistics.
The fact is that over 60% of first time social security disability applicants do not make it past the first stage in the process and another whopping 86% are denied at the second stage upon appeal. Incredibly, nearly 40% of those applicants still appealing are denied a third time upon review by an Administrative Law Judge.
There are many reasons for a claim being denied but the more common reasons for denial are simply incomplete applications, the claimant is still actually working, not being regularly treated by a physician or not providing the proper evidence indicating that a total disability does exist.
Whatever the reason for denial, while your case is laboring through the system, you are left to suffer in the meantime being without income while living expenses and medical bills continue coming due.
Nearly everyone can expect to be denied at the first stage; that is indeed a rarity.
