The first appeal, a reconsideration, is often denied in 30-45 days. While you must then apply for your hearing within sixty days of your reconsideration denial, it can take a year or more to actually get your hearing. Such a lengthy process can be discouraging, but we will be there for you every step of the way. Taking cases at both the first and second denial, we know how to improve your chances for success at every step.
We will start by making sure you understand the requirements of the Social Security appeal process. The first appeal requires more forms to be filled out. You will have to demonstrate why you disagree with the initial denial. In most cases, you have to go through the first, initial appeal, in order to get to the second appeal, which is known as a Request for Hearing. At this hearing, you will get a chance to tell your story and explain your matter to an Administrative Law Judge. We will help your prepare your testimony and witnesses, if necessary, for this hearing.
