Handling Your Disability Cessation Appeal Being on disability means that your disability benefits will go under review from time to time. This is to ensure that only people that still qualify for the social security disability benefits will continue receiving them and that those who don’t stop receiving them. This may mean that social security may put a stop to the payments you are receiving if they feel that your disability no longer qualifies. This can be a very nerve-wracking time in your life, but the good news is that you have the option to have a disability cessation appeal.
What Is a Disability Cessation Appeal? Just as some people are denied during their first application to start receiving benefits, people can be told that they are no longer eligible after being on social security. Every social security claim is reviewed, and that may mean that your payments could be denied. A disability cessation appeal is an action that you can take to have your social security disability benefit payments continued. You’re able to ask for social security to go back over your information and make a determination on the additional information you’ve provided to support why you should continue receiving disability. The Appeals Process
After being told that your social security disability benefits review has resulted in your disability payments stopping, you’ll need to go through the appeals process to try to keep your benefits coming to you. This process will start when you receive a letter in the mail stating the initial determination has been made for your disability cessation. The letter gives you 60 days to initiate the appeals process and describes the steps that you need to take for your appeal. Typically, this will require you to prove documentation that supports why they were wrong. Professional Help This can seem very cut and dry, but a social security cessation attorney can offer you professional help in working on getting your appeal approved. They understand what tactics can work for your appeals and can help guide you towards ensuring that your claim doesn’t fall through the cracks. You can certainly go through this process alone, but that means that you may miss out on something that a social security cessation attorney wouldn’t miss. Not every case going through the social security cessation appeals process is the same. This can mean that any research you do online may only give you partial answers.
