Claim Denied? A Social Security Disability Lawyer in Oklahoma Can Help You Appeal
Are you struggling to get SSDI or SSDI benefits? The denial of a Social Security claim in Oklahoma is stressful and confusing. It is crucial that you take immediate action to pursue your benefits. You can file an appeal. Here are the four different stages of the Social Security appeals process in Oklahoma:
- Request for a Reconsideration: Reconsideration is the initial phase of a Social Security disability in Oklahoma. A new reviewer evaluates the claim. You have the right to submit any additional medical evidence—or other pertinent information—that might bolster the applicant’s case. There is a 60 day deadline to seek reconsideration
- Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Hearing: : In the event of an unfavorable reconsideration outcome, the next recourse is to request a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). The ALJ is not an employee of the SSA—he or she is independent. You should be represented by an Oklahoma Social Security disability lawyer during any ALJ hearing.
- Appeals Council: Should the ALJ’s decision not yield a positive result, the applicant can escalate the matter to the Social Security Appeals Council. This body reviews the ALJ’s decision. With that being said, the council reserves the right to decline review. If they opt to evaluate the case, they may either make a direct ruling or remand the case back to the ALJ.
- Federal Litigation: You always have the right to take your Social Security disability denial directly to a federal court in Oklahoma after exhausting all of your other options. We have extensive experience handling federal Social Security disability representation.
