Social Security Disability

Applying for Social Security Disability is a very frustrating and time consuming process.

You do not feel very well, you are not able to work, and are usually concerned about whether you can survive emotionally, financially or physically.

Dealing with government is not easy in the best of times, but especially not when you are distracted and are full of pain.

The most important thing to remember when trying to get Social Security Disability is to never give up.

If you are denied after you apply, then you must appeal and make a reconsideration request.

If you are denied at the reconsideration stage, then you must appeal and request a hearing.

If you are denied by the Administrative Law Judge, then you must appeal to the Appeals Council or Re-apply.

There are a number of people who finally get approved during the second or third round of applying.

If they would have stopped applying after the initial denial and hearing, then they would have never received the disability benefits they worked for their entire life.

Social Security counts on a large number of people dropping out and not appealing or reapplying.

You must get someone to fight for you and not give up.

I have seen a few of these overpayment situations involving older cases. Sounds fishy that the government would go back a number of years and not be able to produce the paperwork supporting its claim.
