Denied Social Security Disability Benefits

When you apply for Social Security Disability benefits, a claims examiner will review your application and your medical records. Many claims are denied because the medical records failed to provide clear evidence of the severity of the impairment.

When appealing a denied claim, attorney Ryan Montgomery coordinates your medical records with your doctor to ensure that they clearly demonstrate your inability to work and the permanence of your condition. With more than 10 years of experience handling a wide range of injury cases, Mr. Montgomery understands medical records and can speak the language of the medical profession to make sure that your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) application is complete and accurate.

There are multiple levels of appeal attorney Ryan Montgomery can help you explore to get the benefits you need. The first stage is called reconsideration. It involves the same process as your initial application, except your claim will be reviewed by a different claims examiner as if for the first time. This gives you a second chance at getting the benefits you need.

If your benefits are still denied after reconsideration, there are three additional levels of appeal:

• Hearing before an administrative law judge, which is similar to a trial
• Request a review by the Appeals Council
• File your case in federal court
