SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY

Social Security Disability Appeals in Montana

Social Security Disability (SSDI/SSI) may be one of the most important resources you have after an injury or illness prevents you from working. These benefits can help provide financial stability when you are unable to earn a living due to serious medical conditions. Unfortunately, the process of applying for SSD benefits can be complicated, and many deserving claims are denied at the initial stage.

At Netzer Krautter Law Firm, we have helped many Montanans navigate the challenges of filing for Social Security Disability benefits, including managing the appeals process when applications are denied. We understand how stressful it can be to face a denial, and we are here to stand by you every step of the way.

Why Are Social Security Disability Claims Denied?

Appeals for Social Security Disability are very common. In fact, most applications are denied the first time. Some of the most frequent reasons include:

• Small mistakes or omissions on your application
• Failing to submit sufficient medical evidence
• Missing deadlines or paperwork requirements
• Not fully explaining how your medical condition prevents you from working
• Errors made by the Social Security Administration (SSA) in reviewing your claim

A denial does not mean your case is over—it simply means that more work needs to be done to properly present your claim.

How We Help with Social Security Disability Appeals

If your initial application has been denied, our firm can assist with every stage of the appeals process, including:

• Reconsideration: Filing a request for the SSA to re-review your claim with additional medical or vocational evidence.
• Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Hearings: Representing you at a hearing before an administrative law judge, where we present medical records, expert testimony, and evidence of your inability to work.
• Appeals Council Review: If the ALJ denies your case, we can seek further review by the SSA Appeals Council.
• Federal Court Appeals: When necessary, we are prepared to take your case to federal court to fight for the benefits you deserve.
