Social Security Disability benefits are vital to millions of people.

If you are injured or facing an illness, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are vital to making ends meet and getting back on your feet. For those with permanent disabilities, SSDI benefits can be lifesaving.

But navigating the process of getting approved for SSDI benefits isn’t easy.

The majority of first-time Social Security Disability claims are denied.

Anyone who has worked long enough to earn the necessary work credits and is medically unable to work qualifies for SSDI. But not everyone gets their application accepted. In fact, up to 70% of initial SSDI claims are denied nationwide.

This is because SSDI can be an incredibly complicated process to navigate. As a Social Security Disability lawyer Memphis has trusted for decades, I’ve heard a lot of complaints about the disability program. And it’s true the program has its faults. But with an experienced lawyer on your team, it’s not impossible.

Here’s why SSDI claims are denied.

SSDI is determined by how able you are to perform your work. It can be difficult to be approved for SSDI for an injury that’s tough to prove, such as a back injury. Other common reasons claims are denied include:

  • Lack of proper medical records
  • You’ve been denied SSDI previously
  • Failure to follow the doctor’s orders
  • You make too much money
  • Failure to cooperate with the Social Security Administration (SSA)

Luckily, if you move quickly, you can still get approved. You have 60 days to appeal your claim once you’ve been denied.

But if you applied on your own and were denied the first time, don’t make the same mistake with your appeal. Working with a seasoned SSDI lawyer with a proven track record will give you the best chance of success with your appeal.
