Disability Denial and Reconsideration

Fight Back Against Your SSDI or SSI Denial

Disability Denial and Reconsideration Representation

If your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claim was denied, you don’t have to give up. Many initial claims are rejected, but that doesn’t mean you’re not entitled to benefits. At Kenton Koszdin Law Office, we specialize in disability claim denials and the reconsideration process. Let us help you fight for the benefits you deserve.

Understanding Disability Denials

It’s frustrating to receive a denial notice from the Social Security Administration (SSA). However, it’s important to know that most SSDI and SSI claims are initially denied. In fact, 60% or more of first-time applicants are rejected — often due to procedural errors, missing documentation, or misunderstandings about eligibility requirements.

While this can be disheartening, the denial isn’t the end of the road. You have the right to request reconsideration or take your case to a hearing.
