With the percentage of cases being denied on the first attempt, chances are yours will be denied if filed without the representation of an attorney. A portion of cases are denied on the first attempt, even with an attorney representing you, so what do you do if you are denied?
Appeal Process
You are given a time period in which you can appeal to the court, usually within 60 days. Your Columbia Social Security attorney can assist you through the appeals process, explaining your rights and fighting to protect them.
If your case is not on file for appeal within the time period given, you will lose all appeal rights and have to start over from the beginning. So, if you are denied, do not lose hope, just call us for help. Your chances of winning during an appeal process are greatly increased with proper representation.
Our attorney will ensure that you have a protected date for your appeal and will make follow up calls with the Social Security office to make sure that they have received everything necessary. Many times items get “lost in the mail” and without an attorney fighting for you, that appeal date that you thought was preserved never happens.
Don’t waste significant time in filing paperwork, making phone calls and getting the run around, hire an attorney and have your case handled professionally and swiftly. A decision on your case can take months, so don’t put yourself in financial crisis by having to start the process over, just have an attorney file an appeal on your behalf and get the benefits you deserve quicker.
