Pacific Northwest Social Security Disability Lawyer

Why would your Social Security Disability Benefits be denied?

Studies indicate that only approximately 30% of all Social Security Disability benefits applications are approved on the first attempt. There are various reasons why these benefits may be denied, including the following:

• Prior denials: If you are denied benefits, you need to go through the official appeals channels to continue your attempts to receive payments. If you restart a new application, this will likely only result in another denial.
• Failure to follow treatment: Social Security Disability benefits applicants need to follow all doctor-prescribed treatment protocols, or they risk the SSA denying their benefits.
• Income limitations: The SSA only approves disability benefits for those who are unable to work due to a disabling condition. Earning an income is generally a disqualifying factor.
• Failure to cooperate: If a benefits applicant fails to respond to requests for documentation or does not show for scheduled medical exams, this will likely result in a benefits denial.
• Lack of medical evidence: Those applying for Social Security Disability benefits must prove that they are unable to work due to a disabling condition. Failure to show this, per SSA guidelines, could result in a benefits denial.

You pay no out-of-pocket costs

Federal law controls how attorneys are paid for Social Security Disability (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits claims cases. If your benefits are granted, the Social Security Administration will pay you retroactively from the date that you apply for your benefits and possibly even up to 18 months before your application date. Our attorneys will be paid 25% of this retroactive amount or a total of $6,000, whichever is less.
