Your Reconsideration Appeal: a Waste of Time or Can You Really Win?

Can you convince Social Security to approve your claim when you file your reconsideration appeal, or is reconsideration just a waste of time that will add 6 months of delay to your disability case?

As I discuss in this video, only about 10% of reconsideration appeals end up with an approval but you can improve your odds by
-using the right forms
-submitting them electronically or by registered mail
-including information in your recon paperwork that addresses the main issue in your SSD case - your capacity to work

I offer guidance to you in this video about what to say when you fill out your reconsideration appeal and accompanying medical report, and I explain what to do when you need more room than what the form provides.

I was approved at reconsideration and this channel was extremely helpful

I have neuropathy. I’m a veteran with 100% and not quitting until I win.

Hello, thank you for your videos! They are very helpful. I recently won my ssd case with a fully favorable decision at reconsideration level with help of my great attorney. I couldn't have done this without him. Im 41 yrs old and this got done in one year .

[faithvorwald]

I’m a 100% p&t TDIU veteran… my reconsideration was found fully favorable yesterday 😊

[emilymathews]

Though I stayed under SGA, I simply have too much work from 21-24. It just LOOKS very bad at first glance.
I cannot intelligently explain my work after onset. I had no clue I should do no work.
Depressing.

If your condition has worsened since the initial application and you can show that during reconsideration you can win also.

I just got a denial from SSDI. I must say I was QUITE SHOCKED, especially considering I have a lawyer working for me. My last hearing was strange though, as it was set up as a conference call with an out of state ALJ. There was another guy on the call who, I was told, was there to see if he could find anything I can do for work. Well, he couldn't! I'm sincerely confused by this whole process! They have documents from 6 doctors, 22 surgeries, years of ER visits, a laundry list of meds...and declined?? I worry about the stress of continuing on if the % of approval at this stage is so low. Advice, anyone?

Thank you for this information! I got my first denial letter last week, but it was a weird letter. They accidentally sent me someone else’s denial along with mine, and that one was just a ‘we don’t think you qualify’ letter. Mine basically said I proved that I have significant medical conditions impacting my functioning, but there wasn’t enough info to prove I could or could not work part time in a sedentary job. I have a function assessment appointment with an physical therapist on Monday that my PCP referred me to. My pain meds were also raised since I sent the application the first time. 🤞 I will include those with my reconsideration appeal. I believe that I meet a listing condition.

I was denied on my initial claim and im pending reconsideration its absolutely ridiculous how i have all the evidence from my spinal surgeon stating im am not to work at this time i had a severe injury resulting from work had 3 spinal surgeries including 2 spinal fusions aftee a failed herniated disc surgery was unsuccessful now i have a spinal cord stimulator and still was denied i haven't worked since 2017 its quite depressing how i cant get help other than EBT

[bobcarswell]

They've been dragging ass so long my current conditions have become "old".

[eddieseaberg]

On a CDR yes it is a waste of time. I met 2.03B contraction of the visual field in 2010. 2014 after two exams HVFA 30-2 and a Goldmann visual tests I was denied on CDR initial claiming "MI" them spent 2 and half years in recon/DHO hearing and denial in 11/28/16. Filed ALJ appeal a week later within 4 months they had their busted ass step 8 hearing with the VE then wouldn't give me the audio for 7 months i had to send to the A.C. a request to get it. Then at my supplement hearing which I was denied a continuance from the ALJ I smashed their asses with arguments the impairment met/equaled 2.04B visual impairment value of 1.00 after b/c. And he agreed amd said "after considering your carefully reasoned arguments" sent me for a CE which now I'm still waiting. My original notice of award said 3 year review BUT in the file at the original cpd in 2010 disability determination said at item 17 MRP 1/2017. So these people are outta their mind. And recon is bs. The DHO said it's a miracle your cured lol when I in fact met a listing the entire appeal. And I'm pro se. Im sick of their games and will relieve them of their res judicata on my childhood disability and get the rest of the money they owe me since they wanna play these games. Thanks for these videos Mr. Ginsberg.

[michelle]

Love watching your videos:) update with me SSA told me today a judge has taken my case now the waiting game so far..21 mths

[kainalrik]

Waste of time. My specialty doctor's RFCs were thrown out because they "liked me too much." So, it was a waist of time for me. Unfortunately, my cardiologist and sleep doctors have since left the hospital that I go to too.

[frankwhite]

I’ve been denied twice and have a hearing scheduled. My biggest problem is I can afford all the specialists with no job and no insurance. What am I suppose to do?
I go to my regular doctor and my heart doctor that’ll more than I can afford.

[cybergroupie]

I would also like to know if consulting with the state rehab services office for job placement states that they cannot place us in a job because our condition is too severe and the job site would not be able to accommodate excessive absenses, etc. would be a plus in our case in terms of being not being able to work?

[RonnoldRosenburg-fj]

I have to file for a reconsideration of my benefits. My benefits are fraud I have never seen any of my benefits. Any Advice?

[DansOldRecordShelf]
