If you’ve been denied disability benefits, don’t panic. Call a Daytona disability attorney today to appeal your application.
Culbertson Law Group has two of the nine Florida attorneys certified in Social Security Disability Law. If you applied for disability benefits and were denied, you may need a Daytona disability attorney to get you through the appeal process. Below are the four levels of appeal:
Reconsideration
If your disability claim was denied, you could request an appeal online. Your claim will then be reconsidered by the state agency contracted with Social Security. A Daytona disability attorney would suggest this appeal if there is any new evidence that could help your case.
Administrative Hearing
Administrative hearings are typically requested and attended by a Daytona disability attorney. They take place in front of an administrative law judge who had no part in the original determination of your case. At Culbertson Law, our experienced attorneys will attend these hearings with you to ensure the best results.
Review By Appeals Council
Review By Appeals Council This third step in the appeal process is only necessary if the administrative hearing did not work in your favor. The Appeals Council has the ability to deny a request if it believes the hearing decision was based on the correct legal standards and supported by substantial evidence.
Federal Court Review
If you disagree with the Appeals Council’s decision, you’re able to file a civil suit in a federal district court. You will need the assistance of an attorney with federal court appeal experience.
Our attorneys are ready to help you with the same level of service we provide to all of our clients. In this review, Barbara P. shares the excellent experience she had with our office:
“Attorneys Jeremy Hays and Sarah Jacobs literally saved our lives by successfully representing my lifelong-disabled daughter in her Federal Appeals case and her new SSA hearing. Thank you a thousand times, you don’t know what this means to us! Jeremy was especially compassionate and really put my daughter at ease for the hearing. We recommend Culbertson Law Group, they really know what they are doing!”
Nat G. discusses the communication and positive result that was achieved during their husband’s pursuit of benefits:
“Culbertson Law Group, We are so thankful for the excellent service that we received during my husband’s disability determination with Social Security Administration. They took care of every single detail needed for a successful outcome. We were informed all the time during the process from start to finish. We recommend this law group 100%!”
