My place to talk about disability attorney
Q: Is it true that everybody's social security disability claim gets denied the first time? A: You have probably heard comments and complaints from many social security disability applicants that their claims are constantly denied; but in reality, not all first applications are rejected. In truth, the SSA has no rule in place that directs them to deny all first claims. That said, it is true that many first applications are denied, and that approvals tend to result from the appeals process. Nationwide, 70% or so of social security disability claimants are denied on their first application. Unfortunately, many of those who are denied do not have a full understanding of what they should do in order to be approved next time they apply.
