When you have been injured or you have a disability that renders you unable to work, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a great option to help both you and your family during a difficult time. Unfortunately, a large majority of the SSDI applications that are created are denied (65%). In this blog post we will discuss the reasons for so many SSDI claims being denied and ways to ensure that you get the assistance you require.

Incomplete Forms

One of the most common reasons for a SSDI claim being denied is if the forms are not being completed properly. These forms are extensive, and it can be very easy to miss a line or two of information. We suggest working closely with your medical professional when filling out these forms to ensure you have included your accurate medical history and documentation. 

False Claims

It is an unfortunate reality, but many of the SSDI claims that are made are false or inappropriate claims that should never have been made. Because of this, claims are looked over rigorously and any claim that may be deemed as questionable can be denied on your first attempt, even if legitimate. As stated above, it is essential to properly fill out all forms with as much detailed information as possible. 

So, what do you do to ensure that your claim will be approved? We suggest that you work with a trusted medical professional or legal professional when creating your claim. If your claim gets denied on the first try, there is no need to panic. Many people appeal the denial of their claim and become approved when they get their paperwork in order.
