Statistically speaking, a majority of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability (SSD/SSDI) claims are denied at the initial claim and reconsideration stages.
Denials usually occur regardless of whether or not there was an attorney representing the claimant.
Therefore, most SSI and SSDI claims have to be presented to an administrative law judge (ALJ) in a hearing before the claimant can be awarded benefits.
It is typically at this stage of the process where having an experienced attorney is most beneficial for a claimant.
