What if I get turned down?

If you really can not work in a full time or regular scheduled part time capacity due to injury or illness that has prevented you from working or will keep you from working for 12 months or more, apply for Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income benefits. If you are tuned down you will have 60 days to file your appeal. Keep appealing denials at least through the hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. If you fail to file your appeal, you may lose valuable rights to you entitlement to SSD/SSDI benefits. Remember, the law does not help those who sit on their rights. According to the Social Security Administration, the biggest mistake people make when trying to get disability benefits is failing to appeal or waiting too long (more than 60 days) to file their "“Request for Reconsideration" and/or "Request for Hearing".
