The world of disability benefits can be overwhelming, especially when faced with the initial denial of a claim. For many individuals with disabilities, the application process is fraught with complexity and a high potential for misunderstanding. It’s not uncommon for deserving applicants to find their claims denied on the first try, often due to minor errors or misinterpretations of the documentation requirements. This can be a disheartening setback, but it’s important to know that a denial is not the end of the road. At Roberts Disability Law, P.C., we have years of experience handling denied disability claims and understand the intricacies of the system. We can review your case and help identify any potential issues with your initial application or appeal.

Common Reasons for Disability Claim Denial

There are many reasons why a disability claim may be initially denied, including insufficient medical evidence, lack of work history, or failure to meet the specific criteria for eligibility. However, it’s important to remember that being denied benefits does not mean you are not truly disabled. ERISA disability plans may have strict requirements and guidelines for determining disability, and even seemingly minor errors in your application can result in claim denial.

Next Steps After a Denied Claim

If your initial disability claim is denied, it’s important not to lose hope. You have the right to appeal the decision within 180 days of receiving your denial letter. It’s crucial to seek legal representation at this stage in order to ensure all necessary steps are taken to strengthen your case. Our experienced attorneys can help gather additional evidence, prepare the necessary documentation, and represent you at any appeal hearings.
