Many individuals are denied if their condition, or the severity of their condition, does not actually qualify as a disability under the SSA’s guidelines. Other reasons why you may not be denied for disability can include:
Refusing to cooperate with the SSA, such as not providing additional information about your claim when contacted
Not providing enough medical documentation of your disability
Failing to follow a doctor’s orders or prescribed treatments
A disability that was caused by alcohol or drug abuse
Conviction of a crime
Committing benefit fraud
