Disability Denial

Those who are too sick or injured to work are eligible to receive disability compensation subsidized by the federal government. Aside from providing a means to get through daily life and replace lost wages, these integral funds are designed to assist with expensive prescriptions that help you cope with your illness or disability. Unfortunately, sometimes payment for your disability will be denied. Being bogged down by disability is bad enough, but a lack of income only compounds matters. It is not uncommon for the people responsible for reviewing your application for disability payment to deem you an unqualified recipient, although you believe this is not the case.

In 2005, the Social Security Administration (SSA) disbursed approximately $126 billion to over 17 million beneficiaries. If 17 million cases were approved by SSA, chances are yours could be too if you believe in it strongly enough.

Reasons SSA may deny you payment:
  • You are unable to provide ample medical proof.
  • Impairment does not warrant compensation due to its level of severity.
  • Your injury or illness is a direct result of substance abuse.
  • It is improbable that your disability will last longer than one year.
  • Your ability to perform at work is unaffected.
  • You can perform an alternative job to substitute for your previous occupation.
  • You do not adhere to the instructions pertaining to your medication.
  • You go back to work while the disability application is still being processed.

You should realize that when your application for disability payment is under review, your submission will be scrutinized and compared to every rule and regulation in order to identify a weakness in your claim. This seems unfair considering so many others with the same condition that you’re suffering from were approved. If you end up being one of the unlucky few, SSA allows you to appeal their decision, but this process can take up to a year.
