What Do I Do if My Claim is Denied?

Q: What should I do if my claim is denied?

If you get denied, you have to appeal your claim. You file your initial claim - if you get denied, you will ask for reconsideration and that is an appeal.

Q: What is the next step if I lose at the hearing?

If you lose at the hearing, you can appeal it again to what they call the appeals counsel, and then one final time to the federal district court.
