Claimants receive monthly financial benefits after the Social Security Administration approves their Social Security disability application. However, not all applicants receive approval the first time they apply. Understanding the requirements for Virginia Beach Social Security Disability helps disabled individuals like you get the benefits you need.

Did the SSA Comply with the Law?

Examining all letters and documents received from the SSA helps attorneys determine if the SSA followed all laws and regulations. Evidence of discrimination could overturn the SSA’s decision. Attorneys review the claim and all records acquired by the SSA to determine if you are eligible for SSI or SSDI but were turned down. If the attorney finds an error, they could get you the SSA to reconsider your Virginia Beach Social Security Disability claim.

Reviewing the Reason for the Decision

The SSA must prove that the claimant’s condition didn’t meet the eligibility requirements for SSI or SSDI. If they deny the claim, the Social Security Administration must provide a reason in the denial letter. Attorneys can review the claim for issues or failures to comply with the law. In proving ineligibility, the Social Security Administration must show that the disability doesn’t prevent you from working.

Preparing for an Appeal

An attorney can file an appeal after you’ve been denied Social Security disability benefits. You’ll receive a court date based on the court’s schedule. You must provide your attorney with any relevant information and evidentiary support for your claim. For example, if you’ve been hospitalized for your disability, your attorney should request medical records from the hospital.

Disability benefits provide financial support for individuals with disabilities. If you are disabled and were denied benefits, an attorney could help you appeal. Contact
