When Your Disability Claim is Denied
If a medical condition has left you unable to work and support yourself and your family, getting turned down for disability benefits can be a devastating blow.
Don’t get discouraged and give up! Having a claim denied by a government agency or private insurance company isn’t the end of the process. In fact, it happens to a lot of applicants when they first file a claim for disability benefits.
The reasons for denial are many, from incomplete medical records and unclear documentation, to insurance companies who act in bad faith and use unfair tactics to avoid paying claims.
A Denial Is Not Final
Thankfully, state and federal laws give individuals the right to appeal a decision by the Social Security Administration, Veterans Administration or private insurance company to deny their claim for benefits. Marc Whitehead & Associates represent clients throughout the entire appeals process, from ensuring they submit the necessary documentation to support their claim, representing them in administrative reviews, to arguing their case in front of a judge. Your chances of successfully overturning a claim denial on appeal improve greatly when you have an experienced disability benefits lawyer by your side.
Every day, our attorneys fight to overturn wrongly denied claims. We have won the fight time after time against the SSA, the VA, and carriers of group and private long term disability insurance.
Denied Social Security Disability (SSD) Claims
Dealing with the Social Security Administration often seems like an overwhelming process, especially for someone who is disabled and unfamiliar with the system.
If you’ve been paying into the Social Security system for years and were rejected by the SSA for disability benefits, we can help. The Harlingen Social Security lawyers at Marc Whitehead & Associates have been helping Harlingen claimants navigate through the complicated application and appeals process to obtain the Social Security Disability payments they deserve for almost three decades. Our deep understanding of the Social Security Disability application and appeals process combined with our extensive knowledge of how the SSA evaluates medical conditions and combinations of conditions, and how vocational experts will assess your claim is crucial to successfully overturning a denied claim for SSDI benefits.
Most initial applications for Social Security Disability Insurance are denied, even if you have a strong case to support your claim of disability. If your initial application has been denied, don’t panic. You have a right to appeal a denied claim, but don’t repeat the same mistakes you made the first time. Our board certified Harlingen Social Security disability lawyers have worked with countless claimants to get them the benefits they deserve. But don’t delay; there are strict deadlines for filing appeals. Call us today at 800-562-9830 for a free case evaluation.
We can also support your claim for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) if you qualify.
Harlingen Long Term Disability (LTD) Insurance Denials
Individuals purchase group long term disability insurance policies through their employers and/or private individual LTD benefits plans through an agent to provide for their financial needs in case they become unable to work due to injury or illness. Unfortunately, when a policyholder becomes too disable to work and needs those benefits, the insurance companies often make it as difficult as possible to collect the benefits they paid for. They use all sorts of tactics to unfairly deny and delay a claim, all in hopes of discouraging an individual from pursuing their claim. When this happens you need a resourceful law firm with years of experience acting on your behalf.
Marc Whitehead & Associates has successfully handled hundreds of disability insurance cases, overturning denied claims with group insurance plans (under federal ERISA law) and privately purchased insurance policies. We aren’t afraid to take on the big insurance companies like Aetna, Cigna, the Hartford, Liberty Mutual, UNUM and others.
In cases involving long term disability insurance, your insurer will most likely require that you also file for Social Security Disability. Be careful — they’re doing this to help themselves, not their policyholders. In addition to your ERISA or individual disability insurance claim, Marc Whitehead & Associates can coordinate and represent you in your Social Security Disability claim — potentially saving you thousands in benefits.
