THE BIGGEST KILLER OF SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY CLAIMS

Here is the most dangerous and biggest killer of Social Security disability claims:


Failure to file an appeal within 60 days of denial.

This thief stalks every single Social Security disability claimant.

The law allows you 60 days to file an appeal and have an unfavorable decision reconsidered.  But only 60 days.  Wait longer and the door to the appeal process closes and you cannot reopen it.

It's important to realize that about one-half of Social Security denials are mistakes.  Mistakes get corrected in the appeal process.  But if your case never goes to appeal, the mistake is never corrected and you never get benefits.

The most important thing you can do if you get denied is to file an appeal within the 60 day time limit.
