Social Security Disability
There is nothing to prevent an individual from applying again for Social Security disability benefits after a denial of benefits by the Social Security Administration; however, you may stand to lose significant rights and benefits, and you may limit the ability to prove the extent of your disability in the future if you do not appeal a denial of benefits and choose instead to file a new claim at a later date. The Social Security Act generally provides sixty (60) days for an individual to file an appeal of an adverse decision following the date of that decision which denies benefits to the person. If the person does not file a timely appeal, the decision becomes binding and in most circumstances the person would not be able to later receive any back benefits covering the time before the date of the denial of benefits. Furthermore, the person claiming benefits in a later filing usually will have to show additional changes in health for the worse to persuade the Social Security Administration to approve the claim for disability benefits.
