Why Claims Get Denied

There can be many reasons why the Social Security Administration (SSA) would reject a claim for SSDI or SSI. You could be rejected on the grounds, for example, that:

  • Your disability is linked to a criminal conviction.
  • Your disability is linked to drug or alcohol abuse.
  • You make too much money.
  • Your claim is not sufficiently verified by medical records.
  • The SSA cannot get a hold of you.
  • You will be disabled for less than one year.

The good news is that when you know why your claim was rejected, you have a better chance of knowing what to do differently when you challenge the decision. By enlisting the help of our committed and thorough California lawyers at the Law Offices of Kelly, Duarte, Urstoeger & Ruble LLP, you give yourself the advantage of experience that can help your claim get approved.
