Has your claim for Social Security
Disability been denied?
Houston Social Security Claims | Appeals
If your claim is denied by the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), your next step is to petition for a review by the Appeals Council. While the Social Security Administration (SSA) provides a form for requesting the review, the form alone is not entirely the best way to explain your objections to the ALJ opinion that denied your Social Security Disability claim. Your claim is best served by submitting a written brief by a Social Security Disability attorney laying out your argument why the ALJ decision should be overturned.
The Appeals Council is the last administrative step available to win your Social Security Disability claim. This step needs to be seriously addressed by your attorney with the filing of a convincing brief. There are several arguments available for the brief, including that the available evidence did not support the ALJ decision. The Appeals Council has the option to uphold the decision, remand your case back to the ALJ for a new hearing, or reverse your case and enter a favorable determination.
