We know that it can feel discouraging to receive an initial denial of your Social Security Disability benefits application. It is completely understandable to be frustrated, especially if you are seeking Supplemental Security Income (SSI). But, you should know that you are not alone. Statistically, 70 percent of initial applications are denied.

Write an Appeals Letter After A Benefits Denial
The Social Security Administration (SSA) Appeal form allows you to summarize why you believe your denial was the incorrect decision.
Utilize the disability determination rationale letter you received from the SSA to construct a full explanation of the issues in the SSA evaluation of your claim.
Be sure to include information if anything was incorrect or missing from your initial evaluation. Always remember that the more statements, records, and additional information you can provide as evidence of your disability will help strengthen your claim.
Obtain Supportive Documents From Your Physician
The more evidence you can provide about your disability, the better your chances for approval during the appeal process.
When a claim is denied, it is usually due to the SSA representative determining that you do not meet the requirements to receive SSD benefits. To ensure your appeal results in a successful approval, you need to double-check that you provided the SSA with proper documentation and supporting evidence that validates the severity of your condition.
You can also ask your doctor for a supportive statement detailing how your condition limits your ability to work. These types of statements typically do not affect your standing at the initial stage of the appeal process, but there is evidence that this kind of supporting document from your physician can greatly impact your case at the disability hearing level in front of the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).
If your doctor believes that you would benefit from receiving SSD benefits, ask them to fill out this important SSA assessment form, the Physical Residual Functional Capacity Assessment (RFC).
