Appealing their Decision

If your disability application is denied, the letter they send you explains the reason for the denial and how to request a review of their decision. Depending on the reason, you may be able to request your appeal online.

If your application is denied for

     * Medical reasons, you can complete and
        submit the required Appeal Request and
        Appeal Disability Report
        online.

The disability report asks you for updated information about your medical condition and any treatment, tests or doctor visits since they made their decision.

     * Non-medical reasons, you should contact
        your local Social Security Office to request
        the review. You also may call their toll-free
        number, 1-800-772-1213, to request an
        appeal. People who are deaf or hard of
        hearing can call their toll-free TTY number,
        1-800-325-0778.
