Whether a disability application appeal will be successful depends largely on the merits of the applicant's case. However, an Indiana resident who is appealing a denial of their initial application will likely have more success on their second try. The second appeal is a hearing in front of a judge. To get to that step, an individual must first complete the reconsideration appeal process.
What to expect during the appeal process
The timeline of a disability benefit claim
Indiana residents may qualify for Social Security disability benefits if they have a qualifying medical or physical condition. Whether a person qualifies will depend on the medical evidence that they provide. An examiner will check to see if the condition will last for at least 12 months and make it impossible to earn a gainful living. The examiner will also look at any work that the applicant has done in the past 15 years.
How to prepare for your SSDI application
If you cannot work due to an injury or illness that results in a significant impairment, you may want to obtain Social Security benefits. But this can be an intimidating pursuit. Filing paperwork and dealing with a government agency may be daunting, but it is easier when you have the right help.
