Standing Up for Your Right to Disability Benefits

Guidance Through Applications, Denials, and Appeals

Most SSDI and SSI claims are denied on the first attempt — even when applicants have strong medical conditions. Denials often occur because of missing records, technical filing errors, or insufficient explanations of functional limitations.

Schibell Law helps New Jersey residents challenge unfair denials by rebuilding the record, developing medical evidence, and representing clients at hearings and all levels of appeal.

How Schibell Law Handles SSDI and SSI Appeals

Building Stronger Arguments for a Second Chance at Justice.

We follow a precise, evidence-focused process to help clients reverse disability denials:

Review of Your Denial Letter

We identify the exact reasons SSA denied your claim — medical, technical, or procedural.

Evidence Gap Analysis

We determine what medical, vocational, or functional evidence is missing and create a plan to strengthen your file.

Medical Evidence Development

We gather updated records, secure physician statements, obtain diagnostic testing, & prepare clear documentation of your limitations.

Detailed Appeal Filing

We submit appeals on time, ensure all forms are complete, and prepare written arguments addressing SSA’s findings.

Hearing Preparation & Representation

We prepare your testimony, question experts, and represent you at Administrative Law Judge hearings.

Appeals Council & Federal Court Review

If necessary, we file written appeals with the Appeals Council and pursue federal court action.

Every appeal is structured as if it will proceed to a hearing or higher-level review.

Eligibility for Filing a Disability Appeal

Understanding Who Qualifies and When to Take Action

You may be eligible to appeal your SSDI or SSI denial if:

Your condition still prevents you from working.

You received a written denial within the past 60 days.

New medical evidence exists.

SSA overlooked or misinterpreted your records.

Your condition worsened since your initial application.

If you missed the 60-day deadline, we may still be able to request a “good cause” extension.
If you have a qualifying work history, learn more about SSDI benefits on our SSDI page.

Benefits of Winning an SSDI or SSI Appeal

What Approval Can Mean for Your Financial Security and Care

If your appeal succeeds, you may receive:

Monthly Disability Payments

Based on SSDI earnings or SSI benefit rates.

Back Pay

Retroactive payments from the date SSA determines your disability began.

Medicare or Medicaid Coverage

SSDI appeals can lead to Medicare; SSI appeals typically include Medicaid.

Dependent Benefits (SSDI only)

Eligible family members may receive benefits when SSDI is approved.

We ensure all categories of benefits are included in your appeal.

If income or resources are your main concern, you may also qualify for SSI benefits.

Appeals are time-sensitive. If your disability claim was denied, early legal help can make a meaningful difference.
