On The Front Lines Of The Legal Battle
Can you imagine taking the Social Security Administration to court? It’s a big step, but disabled people who have been denied benefits do it every day and win impressive, life-altering victories.
If you have been turned down by the Appeals Council and wish to appeal, you must file a complaint in Federal District Court within 60 days from the date you received your denial from the Appeals Council.
This complaint must then be served on the Social Security Administration. An SSA lawyer will respond to the complaint with a transcript of previous hearings. Your lawyer will provide the court with a written argument. A series of briefs are then filed with the court:
If the court requests an oral argument, a hearing is held in front of a judge. Or the judge may simply decide the case based on the briefs. Decisions do not come quickly, as judges are extremely busy. Count on your decision taking as long as a year.
The court may decide to send your case back to the SSA, affirm its decision to deny benefits, or overthrow the SSA’s decision and award benefits to you.
As with all things relating to the SSA, the process is lengthy and aggravating. But we can tell you, from past experience, that your chances of success are excellent at this stage, provided you are represented by a capable, experienced SSD/SSI lawyer like Susan M. O’Malley of O’Malley Tunstall, PC, of Raleigh, North Carolina.
