Social security lawyer, exploring the topic
Q: Can you appeal further if you are still not awarded social security disability benefits when your case is heard by an administrative judge? A: You can appeal further, if you do not agree with the decision given by the judge for your case. You can submit a request to have the Social Security Council of Appeals conduct a review of your claim. There are a few things that can happen once you request the review. The council may look at your claim and deny any further review, if it believes the decision given by the judge was correct. It may decide the case needs to go through a second hearing and will send the case back to the court to have it heard by a different judge.
