Don’t give up. If you have serious medical problems that will keep you out of work for at least one year, keep reading.
Should I appeal my social security benefits denial? For our clients, this is usually a given. At Hoglund law offices, we expect to fight through two denials to get to a social security disability hearing. Keep in mind this: Social Security outsources the first two decisions in social security claims. What does this mean? Technically, social security does not make the first two decisions. Social security hires state agencies to make the first two medical decisions about your ability to work. And the state agencies use their own state agency doctors that you will never meet. In our legal opinion, the disability standards are too high and the review is misleading at the application and reconsideration levels. We tell our social security disability clients every day that we are helping them appeal. And we do it. Daily.
What does a “Notice of Disapproved Claim” really mean? It means that you have a deadline to appeal or your case is closed. The instructions to appeal are in your denial letter. At Hoglund law offices, we help our clients appeal denials like yours. We make sure these denials are in on time. And we get receipts to prove it.
Can I hire Hoglund law offices to help me when I’m denied? Yes. We help people at different stages. It depends when the call in.
