Winning Your Monthly Disability Payment
After Social Security Administration (SSA) Denial!
When the Social Security Administration (SSA) denies your application for Disability or SSDI monthly payments, it can be disheartening, but it’s not the end! The team at Casa de la Justicia assists you with the “Reconsideration” step, which is a second chance to submit more medical evidence and strengthen your disability case. With only 60 days to file your Reconsideration, in this guide, we will take you step by step on how to request a Reconsideration for your monthly disability payment after being told “no” to improve your chances of receiving the monthly benefits you may deserve.
Understanding the "No":
Carefully read the letter where they tell you “no”. Look for reasons, what is missing in your medical records, or if there is not enough evidence. Knowing why you were told “no” will help prepare for the Reconsideration. As your legal team, our attorneys at Casa de la Justicia will do this with you to ensure that all SSA requirements are in order.
Initiating the Reconsideration:
Act fast. You only have 60 days from receiving the “no” to submit a Reconsideration Request. If you don’t do it on time, you might have to start all over again with your first application.
IMPORTANT: If you have filed your first application without the legal representation of our attorneys, we can still assist you with this Reconsideration process without any cost from your pocket.
Just call us at 1 800 840 4040
The Reconsideration Application must be completed carefully. Include extra information, such as medical records or documents that address the concerns listed in the “no” letter. At Casa de la Justicia, we take care of this so you don’t have to worry.
Obtaining More Evidence:
Visit the doctor:
Talk to your doctors to obtain your updated medical records. Make sure these records accurately detail how your disability affects your ability to work.
Seek additional evidence:
If your situation has changed, gather new documents such as recent test results, treatment summaries, or letters from your doctors.
Document your daily life:
Explain in detail how your disability affects your daily life. Discuss your specific limitations and challenges. This helps them better understand why you cannot work.
At Casa de la Justicia, we assist you with this entire process to ensure that everything is in order and submitted to the SSA within the required time frame.
Submitting a Strong Request:
Prepare an organized package: Present your case clearly. Include a letter summarizing the key points, a list of the documents you are sending, and other important information. Our firm, Casa de la Justicia, is the first firm specializing in disability payments for the Latino community, and we thoroughly understand how this process works and how we can strengthen your case.
Check that everything is up to date: Ensure that your contact information, medical records, and other documents are current. This facilitates the review and avoids delays.
BE PATIENT
Understand that this may take time: Reconsideration can take 6 to 8 months. While you wait, continue seeing your doctor and note any changes in your situation.
As a Casa de la Justicia client, we will call you immediately if anything is necessary or required by the SSA to review your case.
What if the Reconsideration is Not Accepted?
If you are told “no” again, don’t worry. You can continue to appeal. When you qualify with us, you qualify based on SSA’s standard. The next step is to request a hearing with an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). Each step gives you another opportunity to explain your situation. And of course, at Casa de la Justicia, we will be by your side.
