Denied Disability Claims

Your claim was denied — but that doesn't mean it's over. Our Houston attorneys can help you fight back.

Don't Lose Hope

Most Disability Claims Are Initially Denied

The Social Security Administration denies approximately 67% of initial disability applications. But many of these denials are successfully overturned on appeal — especially with experienced legal representation.

Insufficient Medical Evidence

The most common reason for denial is a lack of adequate medical documentation. We help you gather the right records and obtain supporting statements from your treating physicians.

Ability to Perform Other Work

The SSA may claim you can do other types of work even if you can't do your old job. Our attorneys challenge these findings with vocational evidence and expert testimony.

Technical Errors

Many denials result from procedural errors, missed deadlines, or incomplete applications. We identify and correct these issues in your appeal.

What To Do Next

Steps to Take After a Denial

Receiving a denial letter is discouraging, but it is not the end of the road. Here is what you should do immediately after receiving a denial:

Read your denial letter carefully — it explains the specific reasons for denial and your appeal rights.
Note the appeal deadline — you have 60 days from the date of the letter to file an appeal.
Contact an attorney immediately — the sooner you act, the better your chances of success.
Continue medical treatment — ongoing treatment records strengthen your case.
Do not start a new application — in most cases, appealing is better than reapplying, as it preserves your original application date for back pay purposes.
