SSD Initial Applications in Grass Valley
While many SSD applicants file their initial claim without the help of an attorney, we recommend having an attorney help you from the very beginning of the process. SSD applications are complex and require knowledge of the process and attention to detail. A single error could derail an otherwise successful application.
Working with an attorney early on in the process can help you have the best chance of winning your case, winning as early as possible, obtaining full benefits after you win, and paying the least for attorney services. At Milam Law, our attorneys strive to help clients receive their benefits as soon as possible by filing successful initial applications.
Grass Valley SSD Appeals
If your initial claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. The appeals process has many stages:
- Written request for reconsideration: A written appeal that essentially requests that a new SSA official review and make a decision on your claim.
- Administrative law judge hearing: A hearing in which a Social Security Administration judge hears evidence on your claim and renders a decision.
- Appeals Council: If the ALJ judge denies your claim, you may file an appeals council appeal, requesting a review of the previous judge's decision.
- Federal district court appeal: After all the administrative appeal options have been exhausted, the final option is to file a lawsuit in federal district court, followed by a federal circuit court appeal in some cases.
Our Grass Valley SSD lawyers can help you make the most of your appeal. Attorney Jeffrey Milam worked as an attorney/adviser for SSA judges and knows the process from the inside out.
