Social Security Disability Insurance: Who Determines Your Benefits? (Part B)

First appeals are easily requested through the state DDS office. Again, a two-person team will evaluate your medical evidence, but they will be different from your initial evaluators so that their opinions are unbiased. This process won't require your interaction, other than perhaps another consultative examination by a third-party medical professional.

Who Reviews Appeal Cases?

A successive denial, however, can be taken up with the regional Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR). They will schedule a hearing at the ODAR office closest to you. At this time, it is highly recommended that you retain the services of an experienced Social Security Disability Insurance attorney. Experienced disability lawyers are trained to cross-examine agency-appointed medical and vocational experts and many times will employ the use of expert medical or witness testimony for your hearing. The administrative law judge may require further evidence, which a lawyer can also help you to prepare.

You may have to convince federal SSA officials, state DDS adjudicators, optometrists, osteopaths, podiatrists, speech pathologists, psychologists and other medical experts that your disabilities preclude you from working. Remember, it is not just the degree of disability your impairments cause, but how they affect your personal ability to perform labor and earn wages that determine your SSDI eligibility. A knowledgeable disability lawyer can help you to present evidence in light of this requirement.
