Common Reasons Claims Get Denied

Many strong cases are denied at first for issues that can be addressed with the right strategy and documentation. Examples include:

• Incomplete or inconsistent medical records
• Missing details about work history and job duties
• Not following prescribed treatment (or not clearly documenting why)
• SSA concluding you can perform other work based on limited information
• Deadlines missed for forms, exams, or appeals

How Our Disability Representation Adds Value

• Evidence development: We help gather the medical records, test results, and provider opinions that matter most to the SSA.
• Work & function analysis: We translate how your condition impacts daily activities and job tasks into the language decision-makers use.
• Appeals management: If you’ve been denied, we prepare and file the next-level appeal and keep the case moving.
• Hearing preparation: We help you understand what questions to expect and how testimony and vocational evidence can affect the outcome.

What to Bring to Your Consultation: A Helpful Checklist

• A list of doctors, clinics, and hospitals you’ve visited (with dates, if possible)
• Medications and treatment history
• Any denial letters or SSA paperwork you’ve received
• Basic work history for the last several years (job titles and main duties)
• Notes on how symptoms limit standing, walking, lifting, focus, attendance, and daily routines

If you are unsure where your claim stands, getting answers early can prevent avoidable delays. Contact a qualified social security disability attorney in Columbus from Carmichael Law Group to discuss your situation and learn the next best step.
