If your application for Social Security Disability benefits has been denied, do not give up. The majority of initial applications are denied at first. This is simply how the system works. A denial does not mean you are not eligible, and it does not mean that you will not eventually get benefits. It just means that it is time to move on to the next step in the process. The Social Security Disability lawyers at Morgan & Justice in Columbus can help you take that step.

People often wonder why their application for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) was denied. There may be any number of reasons. Perhaps a certain piece of documentation was missing. Perhaps the documentation was not specific enough in explaining what your disability is and how it prevents you from working. Perhaps something was overlooked.

We will review your claim. We will determine why it was denied, and we will gather additional medical documentation and other information to support your claim. Our attorneys are skilled at building strong cases and pursuing them through all stages of appealing denied claims.

SSDI denied disability claims can take up to three years to get a hearing before a judge. We strive to obtain the appropriate medical evidence as quickly as possible in order to increase the chances of a successful result in less time and can assist you though the request for reconsideration process.

Thomas Evan Morgan has over 45 years of experience in assisting Ohio residents in seeking to secure benefits after an initial claim denial. If your application for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits is denied, Mr. Morgan is the right social security lawyer to  serve as your trusted advocates through the appeals process.

Thomas Evan Morgan is well-versed in all stages of Social Security Disability appeals, which include:

• Request For Reconsideration: This is a document-only process in which the Social Security Administration is asked to reconsider their initial decision. There is no hearing. Like the initial application, this step frequently results in a denial.
• Administrative Law Judge Hearing: The second stage involves a hearing before an administrative law judge, vocational expert and medical professional. During this hearing, we can present evidence and question vocational and medical experts to support your claim. Our attorneys have achieved a great deal of success at this stage in the appeals process.
• Appeals Council: If the administrative law judge’s decision is not favorable, we can request that it is reviewed by the Social Security Administration’s Appeals Council. If the Appeals Council agrees with the administrative law judge’s decision, it will deny the request. Otherwise, the Appeals Council may review the decision or it may send the claim back to the administrative law judge. We know how to carefully prepare Appeals Council review requests.
• U.S. Federal Court: If the results are still not satisfactory after review by the Appeals Council, we may appeal the decision in federal court. With more than 50 years of combined experience, our lawyers are prepared for this high level of Social Security Disability appeals.

Keep in mind that many SSDI and SSI applications are denied. A denial does not mean that you are ineligible for, or do not deserve, benefits. Our attorneys provide the in-depth knowledge of this complex system necessary for you to secure benefits. We will partner with you to pursue your best interests, protect your health and assist you through social security hearings.
