Rejection Rates
Approximately 60% of all SSD applications will be denied by the Social Security Administration on the initial application.
According to the Social Security Administration (SSA):
When we make a decision on your claim, we will send you a letter explaining
our decision. If you do not agree with our decision, you can appeal—that
is, ask us to look at your case again. When you ask for an appeal, we
will look at the entire decision, even those parts that were in your favor.
If our decision was wrong, we will change it.
If you are one of the 60% who has been denied SSD, you will need to act in a timely manner, as you only have 60 days in which to file an appeal. This second stage is called the Reconsideration stage. In the Reconsideration stage over 85% of all applications will be rejected.
It’s important that you don’t get discouraged, but persevere into the third stage of appeal. There, you can request a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). This third stage is where you will stand your best chance of winning. It’s important to be thoroughly prepared for this hearing. Having an experienced legal professional from our organization assisting and advising you in your preparation, can make a significant difference in the outcome of your hearing.
