How do I request a reconsideration for my Social Security Disability claim?

If your Social Security Disability (SSD) claim has been denied, you may request a reconsideration. Reconsiderations are requested through the Social Security Administration (SSA) in the state of Virginia. The first step is to contact the local Social Security office and the Disability Determination Services (DDS) office in your area. You will need to complete an “Appeal Request Form” and submit it to the SSA office. The form will ask for personal information such as your name, address, and Social Security number. You must also include any evidence or documentation that supports your claim, such as medical records and test results. When you submit the form, you will receive a letter from the SSA that confirms your request for reconsideration. You will also receive a “Reconsideration Interview Sheet”, which is a questionnaire about any new information you may have about your medical condition. Once the SSA has received your request for reconsideration, they will review your case and will either approve or deny your claim. If your claim is denied, you can seek further appeal through the SSA. If your claim is approved, you will receive your Social Security Disability payments. It is important to note that all requests for reconsideration must be filed within 60 days from the date of the denial. If you do not file your request within this time frame, you may be denied the opportunity to have your disability claim reconsidered.
