In addition, the result may not be deserving. It’s not uncommon to appeal a decision once or twice after the organization makes a decision. Your disability claim may enter multiple phases of an approval process before the final result is accepted. This includes reconsideration after the initial decision and a general hearing with an administrative law judge. After that, you could face a hearing with an appeals council and possibly a federal appeal. This entire process can take upward of 18 months, but none of this should deter you from pursuing the justice you deserve. These processes are thorough, but insurance companies and governmental organizations are tasked with deterring or further stymieing a person’s right

to compensation simply because these agencies rarely want to “give out” money, even when it is deserved. That’s why our team fights as hard as we do. We know our clients deserve this justice, and we will continually work with them so they know we will not back down from this fight. Our team will be available to answer your questions and will regularly provide you with updates. We can also connect you with resources that will help you in the interim during the course of your case. Don’t fear fighting against the insurance company, SSA, or VA. If you have questions about your case or its timeline, please call the number on the bottom of this page.
