What to do If You’ve Been Denied Disability Benefits In Florida

We’re well aware of the pain of being denied disability benefits in Florida. That’s why we offer the services that we do: to make sure that you’re taken care of in the best way possible.But, you might say, how can I do anything about a denial? The application was long enough, and it seems difficult to move forward and continue to pursue benefits. However, there are ways to go about the problem and getting the benefits you deserve.

Get a Fresh Checkup

Having current records on hand means that getting a judgment in your favor is more likely. The longer your record trail, the easier it is to establish a history of the disability and why you should get the benefits for it.

It also shows a great commitment to the process and getting results. It’s an action borne in persistence, which people who are trying to defraud the system normally don’t possess. This is a good sign for you and a good way to continue your process, should you end up dealing with a denial.

Even though you’re going back to the doctor, don’t get discouraged. The doctor and others thought that you have a disability worth getting assistance for, and that should mean something. Just because someone didn’t agree doesn’t mean that your case is hopeless.

Appeal!

Don’t let the decision stand without appealing. The decision is by no means final. In fact, when you file your second appeal the case goes to an Administrative Law Judge and you have the opportunity to present your case to him/her.

On a related note, it’s always important to ensure that you’re employing advocates on your behalf. Remember the advice that someone who represents themselves in court has a fool for a lawyer. The same advice applies here. Appealing the decision might not seem like a big thing, but it’s the same as appealing any other governmental ruling, with possibly the same outcomes. You either win or lose the appeal.

This is why representation by qualified and experienced professionals is a recommended action to take. Having someone there who knows how the system works can help you win your case and get the benefits you need.

Stop Fretting

We know that this isn’t easy, no matter how matter-of-factly we state the facts. Being told by someone else that you don’t qualify hurts. That’s why we do the things that we do—to make this process easier. We can’t make the disability go away, but we can help you make sure that your life gets back on track.

So, the best advice that we can give to you is to stop the fretting. Don’t worry so much about it! If you’re doing all that you can do to ensure that your appeal goes well, then there’s nothing to worry about. The process is in your hands, and if you’re handling it well with the proper assistance, all worrying is going to do is stress you out—which isn’t good for your health and isn’t good for your case. So stop doing it, and get started on what needs done!
