Request for SSA Reconsideration in Asheville
The First Step in Social Security Disability Appeals
Facing a denial of your Social Security Disability (SSD) claim can be devastating, but it’s not the end. You can keep fighting with the Social Security disability appeals process. The appeal process includes four critical stages, and the initial step is the Request for SSA Reconsideration. Below we will outline the process so you understand how to challenge a denial and move forward with your claim.
Understanding the Request for SSA Reconsideration
A Request for Reconsideration is your first opportunity to contest a denied SSD claim. You must submit a formal request asking the Social Security Administration (SSA) to reevaluate your case.
This step is critical, as it’s your chance to present new evidence and any information you have gathered that may have been overlooked in the first review.
How to File a Request for SSA Reconsideration
You have 60 days from the date you receive your denial notice to file a Request for Reconsideration. With such a short time, you have to act quickly because if you miss the due date then you’ll have to start the entire application process all over again.
Gather the following:
- Medical records (especially any new records)
- Test results
- Letters from your physicians that show support for your claim
The more evidence that you have will make your case stronger so you are more successful with the reconsideration.
Take the time to complete all of the necessary SSA forms for the request for reconsideration. You can find the forms on the SSA website or you can visit your local SSA office to obtain copies.
After you have gathered all of your documents and completed your forms, it’s time to submit your Request for Reconsideration. You can submit the paperwork online, by mail, or in person at your local SSA office.
What Happens After You File?
The SSA will review your case after they receive your request. The review is always handled by a different examiner than your first filing. The examiner will be entirely new and will have not been involved in your original decision.
All of your evidence from the original claim will be examined alongside the new information.
