When Your Initial Claim Has Been Denied
Denied Claims & Appeals
Receiving a Social Security Disability denial can be discouraging, but it does not always mean your case is over. Many applicants are denied at the initial stage and may have the opportunity to appeal the decision. The notice you receive from Social Security should explain the decision and identify the deadline for taking the next step. Appeals are time-sensitive, so it is important to review your denial promptly and seek legal guidance as soon as possible.
Cornett Law Office helps clients throughout Kentucky appeal denied SSDI and SSI claims. Our attorneys review the circumstances of each case, identify potential gaps in medical or vocational evidence, and help clients prepare for the next level of review.
Depending on the stage of your claim, the appeals process may involve reconsideration, a hearing before an administrative law judge, Appeals Council review, or federal court review. Not every case follows the same path, which is why personalized legal guidance is important.
We can help you prepare additional medical records, address questions about work history and daily limitations, and understand what to expect at a Social Security disability hearing. Our goal is to provide experienced, compassionate advocacy while helping you move forward with confidence.
