| We at Watson Law Firm will assist you in filing all the appropriate
forms required by the Social Security Administration once you have been
denied. Did you know that about 60% of all claims are denied the
first time through the system? If your claim is denied, you have
60 days to request a reconsideration. This appeal is handled by the Disability
Determination Services, or DDS. We will aid you in filling out the
correct forms and collect your medical records.
If the request for reconsideration is denied, then you have 60 days
to file a hearing before an administrative law judge. It often takes
12 to 14 months from the date you request your hearing to receive a hearing
date. This timeframe depends on the backlog of claims at the social
security office. We will continue to gather your medical records
and aid you in filling out the additional paperwork.
We know that filing for Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security
income benefits can be a long, frustrating, and overwhelming process.
With over 30 years experience, we can be a great asset to you along the
way.
