Did your Social Security disability insurance benefit request get denied in San Diego? In California and throughout the West Coast, Disability Law Office lawyer Randy Rosenblatt can help you win your appeal.
Not all is sunny in San Diego as winter approaches, especially for the tens of thousands of residents throughout the city and county who are unable to work and only get by on Social Security Disability Insurance benefits. Those who will be enduring the worst holiday season this year, however, are those who are hoping for a response from the Social Security Administration about their disability claim.
Unfortunately for them, however, they are just as likely to be refused as accepted at this point, maybe even more so. If this has happened to you, and you’ve seen your chance at a normal life again starting to slip through your fingers, there is still hope. You can appeal the initial rejection by the Social Security Administration.
The appeals process is your chance to get things right if you made a mistake earlier or for you to convince the SSA that they made one in returning or denying your claim. In either case, you’ll need a good lawyer to review your claim and help prepare it to maximize your chance of being accepted on appeal.
When lawyer and former judge Randy Rosenblatt created the Disability Law Office to help local disabled residents in Oregon, he had not realized just how badly workers and employees everywhere needed assistance with disability claims. Soon enough, he was working with individuals and families on SSDI appeals throughout the Pacific Northwest, then all the way down the coast.
Now, he is reaching out to those feeling lost or hopeless in the SSDI application process in San Diego with a message of hope.
His characteristic brand of compassionate advocacy and aggressive representation has proven particularly successful in overturning initial SSDI denials and obtaining benefits in appeals or hearings. By leveraging his experience as a former Pro-temp judge and dedicating his entire career since 2011 to disability claims, he has become quite the specialist.
Want to know why? Pick up the phone to schedule a free consultation with his team, and chances are he will tell you what went wrong in your initial application and have an idea of how to fix it before the call is even over.
If your claim has been denied, the following steps (think of it as a checklist) will help you figure out the next step and how to improve your chances of getting it approved. Each is more likely to succeed with a lawyer by your side, but many can be completed without one, even if we do not recommend trying.
The SSA will sometimes give a reason for their denial, though it is often vague and not always helpful when there is one. You should review the entire application yourself, or better yet, go over it with an attorney to ensure no other errors are present.
After an initial denial, you can request to make your case in front of a judge, specifically an administrative law judge. This might seem like an easy win, a chance to make your case to a genuine human being, but the San Diego judges will see thousands of these claims and are perfectly able to deny them for any flaw or oversight in your disability request. An attorney can help you gather the evidence you will need to convince them and prepare for their questions.
If the judge turns down your appeal, you might be tempted to give up. Do not. There are still options, and as long as you are bringing the claim in good faith with the backing of medical professionals, there is a good chance we can get it accepted at the next level up, the Appeal Council, which acts like a kind of higher court for the Social Security Administration.
Once you have exhausted each of the internal appeal options, it is time to consider a federal district lawsuit against the SSA. This is obviously a drastic and difficult step, but if we win, you will recover your costs and then some. Do not give up until you have exhausted every option.
Nor should you assume you have exhausted every option until you have spoken to a Social Security Disability Insurance appeal lawyer like Randy Rosenblatt.
