Understanding the Appeals ProcessThe attorneys at Crowe & Shanahan represent clients through the following phases of the Social Security Disability appeals process:
Taking the Next Step – Understanding Your OptionsYou might be wondering, “I did what I was supposed to and was denied anyway. Is there anything I can do?” Yes, there is. Within 60 days of receiving written notification of any denial, you need to file an appeal to the next level. Although an individual can file this request themselves, using an attorney at this point is often advantageous to a case. Not only will an attorney ensure your application complies with what is required but legal representation can alert you to issues you may not be aware of. Besides, keep in mind that your appeal will involve a judge, someone who is a trained lawyer who has intricate knowledge of Social Security and its regulations. Do you have the legal training and knowledge to identify legal issues or respond to questions on points of law that might arise? Having an attorney at your side during these proceedings simply makes good sense. The lawyers at Crowe & Shanahan understand what Social Security officials expect, what sort of preparation and documentation is necessary to build a convincing case. Working closely with our clients, we review documents and testimony to make sure we are able to present the strongest case possible for our clients.
