  • What are my chances of succeeding?
  • This is a difficult question to answer. My experience shows that initial applicants are rejected nearly every time. My own father was rejected after a quadruple bypass surgery and hardening of the arteries that eventually lead to a leg amputation. At that point a person has 60 days to file a request for reconsideration. This is no more than another person in the same office reviewing someone else's work. Again i find that this is usually fruitless, but you must do it. At that point, you have 60 more days to file a request for hearing before an administrative law judge. This is the only time that you sit before a human being and explain your problems. If you lose before the judge, you can file a request to the appeals council. I have had very little success at this level. You then have the opportunity to file in your local federal district court for relief.
