Both are administered by the Social Security Administration and to qualify you must meet the medical criteria outlined by them.

While there are many reasons outside of your control that may result in an initial denial by the Social Security Administration, certain factors set off immediate red flags and should be avoided. Drug and alcohol use, for example, signal to the SSA that a condition is only being caused by the use of those substances and therefore the ability to begin working is a matter of your decision to stop using. Refusal to seek treatment can signal a very similar situation to the Social Security Administration, which is why it is essential that you continue meeting with your doctors while awaiting approval.

Other factors that may result in a denial include current convictions, fraud, and short-term duration of disability.

Before going to your local Social Security Administration office, you will want to gather some, if not all, of the following information: a record of employers’ addresses, contact information, and names over the course of the last 15 years; contact information of all doctors, hospitals, and clinics that you have visited in relation to your condition; and a list of all the prescriptions you have taken or are taking in relation to your condition.

While you will certainly want to take the time to gather the information you readily have available, it is not necessary to wait until you have all of the information listed above. Every minute you wait to file is a minute that you are not receiving benefits so remember that the sooner you apply, the sooner you will be approved and get that first paycheck.

This means that all is not lost, and that appealing the decision is not only a good idea but often the right idea.
