Helping Clients Who Have Been Denied SSD Benefits
If you are unable to work for a living due to a medical condition, a denied Social Security disability (SSD) benefits claim can be a frustrating experience, especially if you have been waiting for months for a response. The good news is that many denied SSD claims are reversed and approved at a higher level, especially when claimants have the assistance of experience SSD lawyers.
At Barkan & Barkan Co., L.P.A., we have helped many men and women throughout Ohio pursue reversal of SSD claims that have been denied. Contact us at our offices in Columbus to arrange a free initial consultation. Our fee will be limited to a reasonable percentage of your eventual recovery.
Representing Clients at Each Stage of Their SSD Claims
When you make your initial application for SSD benefits, you may be approved as soon as the Social Security Administration (SSA) gets around to reviewing your claim. However, most applications are at least initially denied, and many of these are eventually approved at one of the following stages of the process:
- Request for reconsideration
- Administrative law judge (ALJ) hearing
- Appeals council
- Federal court
Receiving a denial of benefits at one stage should not be the last word on your case. There may be a good chance of reversing the denial of benefits, especially when your case gets to the point where it is heard by an independent ALJ rather than a state agency.
Following Through to Pursue a Fair Outcome
At Barkan & Barkan Co., L.P.A., we can help clients pursue reversal of denied Social Security disability claims at any stage of the process. Given the backlog in the system, there is time at each stage to develop the medical evidence necessary to show that you are qualified for disabled status under the SSD definitions.
Even if it is necessary to take your case outside of the administrative process and pursue an appeal in federal court, we are prepared to follow through on your denied Social Security disability claim. To discuss what our attorneys can do to help you seek a better outcome at the next stage of the process, contact us today.
