Denied Social Security Disability Benefits: What's Next?

My SDI Claim Has Been Denied: What's Next?

The approval rate for Social Security Disability Insurance in Ohio is currently only 30%.

Unfortunately, the chances of your Social Security Disability Claim getting denied are very high; 70% of Ohioans are denied their right to these benefits. If you're reading this and you cannot gain access to your benefits, you may be wondering how you will support your family. If you cannot work and have no income source, what's next?

First, you should be armored in knowledge. Knowwhy you were denied so you can refute the cause. The most common reason is that the Disability Examiners from your state DDS (Disability Determination Services) agency deemed the evidence for your claim insufficient. If you do not include medical records in your claim, chances are it will not get approved. If you don't have medical records that support your claim, the best next step is to talk to your physician about your disability. Talking to your physician about your disability can be difficult, but it is worth it for those who cannot work due to their impairments or limitations.

After consulting your physician and retrieving required medical documents, you may also check that you have appropriate evidence and seek professional guidance from attorneys familiar with the strict SDI criteria. Your legal team can help you pursue an appeal and fill out any required forms using your new information. They will also be able to assist you should your appeal efforts need a hearing before a judge.
