Denied Social Security After Age 55?: Request A Hearing

June 7, 2011 By Paul Giannetti

If you have been denied Social Security Disability benefits and are 55 years of age or older, you may be able to win your case at the hearing level.

In fact, if you are 55 years of age or older and meet the criteria outlined below it is highly likely that you will be approved at your hearing.  Even if you don’t meet all of the criteria there is still other ways that you can prove a disability under the Social Security Law.

If you are 55 or older and:

  • Have what you believe is a severe medical impairment and
  • Have an 11th grade or lower educational level and
  • Have no significant work experience

You will likely qualify for benefits.

Even if you have an education beyond the 11th grade and have performed various types of work in your lifetime, you may still qualify for benefits under certain circumstances.

If you are 55 year old or older and have been denied, please feel free to contact us for a free consultation and case evaluation.
