It is necessary to obtain proper legal advice and be aware of what options are available if your SSD and SSI applications are wrongfully denied. Social Security cases are very difficult to pursue effectively without the assistance of qualified legal counsel. Our firm has the experience and resources to best advocate for the benefits that you are entitled to.
Applying for Social Security Disability (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits can be a complex and frustrating process. Unfortunately, a significant number of claims are wrongfully denied at the initial stage, leaving disabled individuals without the support they urgently need. At Woelfel & Woelfel LLP, we represent clients throughout Huntington, West Virginia, and surrounding areas, providing knowledgeable guidance and aggressive advocacy for your rights to disability benefits.

If you are disabled or unable to work, it is important that you file a claim for Social Security Disability immediately. The application process can be long and complicated. If your claim has been denied, working with an experienced SSDI attorney will ensure that your appeal is filed properly and managed professionally, removing the confusion that can often be overwhelming. At Woelfel & Woelfel, we handle all of the critical paperwork using our experience and knowledge of the law.
Why You Need an Experienced SSDI Attorney
Social Security cases are uniquely challenging. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has strict requirements and a multi-step application process. Many applicants are denied benefits not because they are ineligible, but because of incomplete paperwork, documentation errors, or misunderstanding the eligibility rules.
If your claim is wrongfully denied, you are not alone. Studies show that more than 60% of initial Social Security Disability claims are rejected. Without proper legal guidance, appealing these decisions can be overwhelming and stressful. Working with an experienced attorney ensures that your claim is handled correctly, giving you the best chance for approval.
Social Security Disability Appeals Process
A large percentage of all initial Social Security Disability claims are rejected. Many people get discouraged at this point and give up. It is our mission to get you the compensation that you deserve. If your initial claim is denied, we will help you to request a hearing with an Administrative Law Judge. Especially if an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer presents a strong case, many claims are won at the hearing stage. If an Administrative Law Judge declines you following the hearing, an appeal can then be filed with the Appeals Council. We will follow each step, providing everything needed to maximize success.
If your initial SSDI or SSI claim is denied, you have the right to appeal. The appeal process can include multiple steps:
- Request for Reconsideration – A complete review of your application and medical evidence by the SSA.
- Hearing Before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) – Most claims are approved at this stage when presented by an experienced disability attorney.
- Appeals Council Review – If the ALJ denies your claim, the Appeals Council can review the decision for errors in law or fact.
- Federal Court Review – As a last resort, a federal court can review the denial if all other appeals are exhausted.
At Woelfel & Woelfel, we guide clients through every stage of this process, preparing compelling medical evidence, completing all necessary documentation, and ensuring deadlines are met. Our goal is to maximize your chances of approval while reducing the stress and confusion often associated with Social Security Disability claims.
