What Happens If I Am Denied Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Benefits?

Unfortunately, getting denied for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits is a routine part of the process – especially if you fill out the application on your own.

An overwhelming number of people get denied. In one recent 10-year period, denials from initial applications averaged 79 percent.

Many people will need to factor appealing denials into their expectations for Social Security Disability benefits.

The good news is that the appeals process gives you several more chances to win disability benefits. And benefits often are awarded during appeals.

But when you’re appealing, the process gets even more complicated and legalistic. You may even go in front of a disability judge. Or ultimately, you may take your claim to federal court.
