Talk With Gerald M. Welt, a Qualified Las Vegas Social Security Disability/Lawyer
If the Social Security Administration (SSA) denies your disability benefits, you have a right to appeal the denial of your claim. Seek the assistance of Gerald M. Welt, an experienced Las Vegas Social Security Disability lawyer. It does not cost you anything to meet with Mr. Welt. Attorneys fees are structured and capped by the government and only paid when you receive benefits. In many cases, with the help of counsel, you will be successful and receive the benefits you deserve.
Reconsideration
The first appeal is called reconsideration. You have 60 days from the date the SSA denies your benefits to file a request for reconsideration. If you are going to have a lawyer represent you, you should contact them as soon as possible. If you miss the deadline, you miss the opportunity for reconsideration.
When you seek legal counsel to represent you in your appeal, the lawyer will analyze the facts of your case, find the reasons you were denied benefits, contact your physicians, interview any witnesses and create a strategy to help you win your appeal. The laws are complicated and ever-changing. Experienced legal counsel will guide you through the process.
What Are the Chances of Winning My Appeal?
Most initial claims for Social Security Disability benefits are denied. Many times during an initial review, the Social Security Administration does not properly take into consideration certain elements of a case, does not conduct a thorough review of medical conditions, or misinterprets the defining regulations. When you have been denied benefits you have the right to reconsideration, which is a written appeal. Most reconsiderations are denied. If you are denied reconsideration, then the next appeal is a formal proceeding in front of a federal Administrative Law Judge. Using the experienced and successful staff of the Law Offices of Gerald M. Welt can increase your chances of a favorable decision.
