A denial notice does not indicate that a disabled individual lacks the qualifications to receive benefits, but only that they have not fully demonstrated the qualifications.
A Buckhead SSDI hearing claims advocate could help present evidence to meet the agency’s standards. If this evidence is not presented initially, it can be added during an appeal. Within 60 days of receiving a denial notice, the claimant must request a reconsideration, which is the required first step in the appeals process.
