SSD Hearings When Appealing Your SSD Case
Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits are a vital safety net for thousands of Americans with injuries or disabilities. Yet it’s no secret that getting approved for Social Security Disability benefits (SSD) can be challenging. There may be many steps in the process.
A hearing before an administrative law judge is a critical part of the administrative appeals process. If your initial application was denied, the hearing is likely your best shot for getting a favorable outcome. In fact, according to data from the Social Security Administration, well over 50 percent of applications get approved at the administrative hearing level.
Why Is The Hearing So Important?
The SSD hearing is your opportunity to present evidence and make a compelling case as to why you are eligible for benefits. Not only must you establish that you meet the threshold eligibility criteria — that you have the required work history, for example — but you must also show that you have a qualifying disability. Putting forth a strong effort at this stage of the proceedings can help you avoid further delays and potential denial.

We understand the intricate legal standards involved, and we know what types of evidence administrative law judges look for when deciding these cases.
