A small percentage of applicants for Social Security Disability benefits are approved when they first apply. Usually, the most successful applicants have obvious severe impairments. Many other worthy applicants are denied at the time of the first application.
After the initial application is denied, a person applying for benefits can request a reconsideration and then if denied again, they can request a hearing at an Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR). Shifrin Newman Smith Inc. is your local Ohio Social Security law firm. Our lawyers help clients prepare and present evidence to the Social Security Administration.
