After receiving a denial for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you have the option to request a reconsideration review (in most cases). The reconsideration stage is the first step in the appeals process.
Ask for a reconsideration
You must file a written request for reconsideration within a specified timeframe. You can complete the necessary forms online or at your local Social Security office, download the forms, or apply online.
Your case is assigned
Once your request for reconsideration is received, your case will be assigned to a different disability examiner who was not involved in the initial decision. This examiner will review your entire application, including any new information you provide.
More medical evaluation may be needed
The disability examiner may gather additional medical evidence from your healthcare providers to assess the severity of your condition and its impact on your ability to work. They may also request updated medical records or schedule a consultative examination if necessary.
The original decision is reconsidered
Based on the new evidence and a thorough review of your case, the disability examiner will make a new determination. They will consider your medical condition, work history, and any other relevant factors.
