Disability Attorney Marc Whitehead, Board Certified in Social Security Disability Law, discusses the basics of filing a Social Security disability claim.
Marc Whitehead begins the presentation by explaining that the federal government uses a five-step evaluation process when considering your disability claim. He discusses each step of the process. The purpose of the process is to determine whether or not you’re disabled using the Social Security Administration’s definition of disability or whether the government believes there are full-time jobs which you could do that are available.
Marc emphasizes that if you’ve been denied Social Security Disability benefits, you only have 60 days to file an appeal. If you miss this deadline, you may have to start over – so don’t delay if you have been denied Social Security.
Marc also shares key points about the appeals process. There are multiple stages of the Social Security appeals process, and you can be approved for or denied benefits at any stage. If denied, appeals can be filed, and the process continues all the way through federal court.
Filing for Social Security Disability is a complicated process. Marc points out that when you file your initial application, you set the stage for the rest of your case. Simple mistakes can lead to big delays or denials.
