My Disability Claim Was Denied — What Do I Do Next?

Read the denial notice carefully, note the appeal deadline, and strongly consider appealing rather than ignoring the letter. Many claims are approved only after appeal.

Protect the deadline

Appeal windows are usually short. Mark the date on the notice immediately.

Understand why SSA said no

The explanation guides what evidence may help next.

Appeal vs reapply

Reapplying is not always better than appealing. Get the notice reviewed before choosing.
