social security Appeals

brandau & waltz

If the Social Security Administration denies your benefits claim, you have a right to appeal their determination.

Time Limitation For Appeals

An appeal of the Social Security Administration's determination must be filed within 60 days of the date on the letter informing you that you were denied. If you do not appeal the determination within 60 days, you will likely lose your right to appeal.

Types of Appeals

There are four levels of appeals available depending on the issue being appealed.

Appeal Attorney

You have a right to have an attorney represent you during your appeal, and you should do so because the entire process of appeal is very complex, and given the limit of time, you likely will not be able to research and acquire the knowledge and information necessary to present a valid appeal that will result in a reversal of the denial. While no guarantees can ever be made, one of the benefits of hiring Attorney Peter Waltz to represent you on appeal is that he has decades of experience filing and winning appeals for people who were previously denied benefits. He is also very familiar with all of the procedures to handle an appeal. And he is very knowledgeable of what the administration wants to see, and can readily advise you if he sees the reason that they denied your claim. Additionally, you will not need to pay Attorney Waltz out of your own pocket.
