While there are many reasons why you might be denied SSDI, one of the most obvious mistakes is a failure to <\/span>work with a qualified attorney<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t take appropriate steps and gather the right materials concerning your work history and medical requirements, there is a good chance you will be denied SSDI. The legal team at the <\/span>House of Justice<\/span><\/a> is here to work with you on your SSDI filing – every step of the way. In fact, we have an exceptional approval rating for social security disability claims.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How Many SSDI Claims Get Approved the First Time?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Due to the complexity and rigorous standards of SSDI claims, the odds of getting approved with your first filing are not very good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the <\/span>SSA website<\/span><\/a>, \u201cthe percentage of applicants awarded benefits at the initial claims level averaged 21 percent\u201d during the years 2010-2019. As can be seen, that means 79% of claims are denied the first time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If your SSDI claim is denied, you have the option to appeal. After accounting for the appeals process, the <\/span>SSA reports<\/span><\/a> that about an additional 12% of applications are approved. When you account for both <\/span>initial claims and appeals<\/span><\/a>, \u201cdenied disability claims have averaged 67 percent\u201d of total filings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How Many Times Can You Apply for SSDI?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are no limits on the number of times you can file SSDI claims with the SSA. However, how you decide to move forward with either an appeal or a new claim can impact your chances of being awarded social security disability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are denied and decide to appeal your initial claim, there are multiple steps you can take. First, by filing a <\/span>reconsideration<\/span><\/a> you will get \u201c<\/span>a complete review of your claim by someone who did not take part in the first determination.\u201d Second, you can take your claim further by having it heard by an administrative law judge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from appealing your original claim, there are other avenues you might take for applying for social security disability coverage multiple times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In some instances, people choose to file a new SSDI claim for the same medical condition. While lawyers generally <\/span>feel that appealing is a better option<\/span><\/a>, there are some circumstances when filing a new claim makes more sense. For example, your medical condition might have grown more severe since your initial filing, which likely warrants a whole new claim.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another reason to file multiple SSDI claims would be multiple medical conditions. While you might have been denied social security benefits for one condition, you can still qualify if a different illness or injury occurs in your life.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the Average Time for an SSDI Decision?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

From missing paperwork to poor communication, there are many variables that can influence how long it takes for an SSDI decision. However, there are some average times that you can expect to wait when filing a claim.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
