Why SSDI Claims Are Denied
The Social Security Administration may deny SSDI claims for medical or non-medical reasons.
Medical Denials
Your application may be denied if:
- The SSA believes your condition is not severe enough
- There is insufficient medical evidence
- They determine you can still perform some type of work
If your denial was for medical reasons, you must submit updated records, treatment history, and supporting documentation during your appeal.
Non-Medical Denials
Claims can also be denied for:
- Income or work credit issues
- Incomplete paperwork
- Missed deadlines
In these cases, you may need to contact your local Philadelphia Social Security office and request a review — and you may still have appeal rights.
Our attorneys evaluate the reason for denial and guide you through the correct next steps.
The SSDI Appeals Process in Pennsylvania
If your SSDI claim is denied, you typically have 60 days to file an appeal. Acting quickly protects your right to benefits and potential back pay.
The appeals process may include:
1. Reconsideration
A new review of your claim with additional medical evidence.
2. Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Hearing
This is often the most important stage. You appear before a judge to present medical records, testimony, and vocational evidence. Proper preparation can significantly impact the outcome.
3. Appeals Council Review
If the ALJ denies your claim, you may request review by the Social Security Appeals Council.
4. Federal Court Appeal
If necessary, your case can be filed in federal district court.
We manage deadlines, prepare legal arguments, gather medical documentation, and represent you at every stage.
