"How can an attorney help me appeal my denied SSD application?"
The Social Security Administration denies applications for benefits for many reasons. Some of the most common reasons involve errors or incomplete information on an application. Some of the most common factual errors people make when applying for Social Security Disability benefits include:
- Incomplete medical records on their Social Security Disability application
- Leaving out work details on their Social Security Disability application
- Reporting income figures that don't match their W-2 tax forms
- Incorrect employer information
All of these issues and many more can be addressed when appealing a denied application. When you appeal a denied application, an Administrative Law Judge initially rules on the appeal. If a judge denies an appeal, the applicant can then request a review by an Appeals Council. Other legal options are also available, including filing a lawsuit in federal district court.

All of these options can be extremely complicated. That's why it's critical you contact O'Malley & Langan as soon as possible to help build a strong case and obtain the Social Security Disability benefits you rightfully deserve. It's important to act promptly. There are specific time limits in which to file an appeal of the initial denial. Furthermore, we need to submit all of your supporting information to an administrative law judge for review. We will do everything we can to speed up the process so you can begin receiving benefits as soon as possible. But even if you file quickly after becoming disabled, be aware that disability benefits won't begin until the sixth full month of entitlement to benefits.
