Appealing a Disability Decision in 100 Words

Written by Scott Flexer | Jan 20 2015

If you’ve been denied benefits or terminated from SSDI, don’t panic. You have the right to appeal this decision. For the strongest appeal, you can take several key steps:

  • Gather all medical evidence for your condition (diagnosis, treatments, medical review appointments)
  • Speak with an experienced disability consultant
  • Point out any mistakes made in your decision
  • Prove your ongoing condition in medical reviews by the SSA

During appeals of benefit terminations, you can still receive disability benefits if you fill out a written request within 10 days of the date on your notice of termination. If you’ve been denied benefits, acting quickly can help get you the benefits you deserve.
