Denied Disability Claims and SSDI Appeals in Maryland
Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) benefits may be granted for mental and physical health problems. You may also receive SSDI benefits for illnesses or injuries suffered by a dependent or loved one for whom you are responsible. While the majority of SSDI benefits applications are denied the first two times (determination and reconsideration), there is hope. When the correct information is presented, many claims are approved after the hearing.

Your disability hearing will be heard by an administrative law judge who did not participate in the original determination or reconsideration of your case. Because the judge will have no prior knowledge of your case, your file must include the correct information. This is a complex process that should be handled by a lawyer with significant SSDI experience.
Should you receive a denial after your hearing, you may appeal the decision in federal court. To discuss your SSDI claim, please call 888-340-9122 or contact us online.
