How do I appeal a denial of SSDI benefits?

Applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits can be a difficult process, and a denial of benefits can be both emotionally and financially devastating. The best way to appeal a denial of SSDI benefits in New Hampshire is to contact the local Field Office of the Social Security Administration (SSA). When you contact the Field Office, you will be asked to provide evidence that refutes the denial of benefits. This could include medical records and other documents that prove your disability is preventing you from being able to work. Make sure to keep copies of any documents that you submit. You will then be asked to participate in a disability hearing, during which you will be able to discuss your case with an administrative law judge. During the hearing, you can present new evidence that supports your disability and may be able to call witnesses to testify on your behalf. If the administrative law judge decides that you are still not eligible for SSDI benefits, you may appeal the decision by filing a Request for Review with the Appeals Council. At this stage, you will need to provide additional evidence and arguments as to why you believe that you are eligible to receive benefits. Throughout this process, you may want to consider getting help from an experienced disability attorney. This attorney can help make sure all evidence meets the SSA’s standards and guide you through the appeals process.
