Las Vegas Social Security Appeal Lawyers
How to Appeal Social Security Decisions in Nevada?
You generally have 60 days after receiving notice of denial of your claim to request an appeal, there are four levels of an SSA appeal to note:
- Reconsideration Process Explained
- Hearing by an Administrative Law Judge
- Review by the Appeals Council: What to Expect
- Final Option: Review by the Federal Court
You often must take the reconsideration step to be able to continue with the appeal. We recommend having an attorney help you put this together because it is important to clearly lay out all the facts for the SSA. This may include contacting physicians and witnesses, as well as analyzing why you may have been denied to see if you can easily correct any errors.
If you disagree with the result of the reconsideration step, you may move onto the second step and ask for a hearing with an administrative judge who did not participate in the original determination or the reconsideration of your claim.
At the conclusion of the hearing, you may then request an Appeals Council review of the decision or dismissal made by the judge if you again disagree. The Appeals Council examines all requests for review, but it may deny a request if it finds the hearing decision is in accordance with Social Security law. The Appeals Council may either review your case or return it to an administrative law judge for further review.
Lastly, if you disagree with the Appeals Council decision or if they decide not to review your case, you and your attorney can file a case in a federal district court as your last option for appeal.

What Are the Chances of Winning an Appeal?
The SSA denies most initial claims for disability benefits. Often during an initial review, the SSA does not properly take into consideration certain elements of a case, does not conduct a thorough review of medical conditions, or misinterprets the defining regulations. Consulting a lawyer focusing in Social Security appeals does increase your chances of a favorable decision, simply because an attorney knows exactly what the judges need. Put your best foot forward immediately by contacting an attorney at Welt Law for help on your SSI appeal.
