Q & A

How do I appeal a decision on my application for disability benefits?

Answer: When we make a decision on your application, we’ll send you a letter explaining our decision. If you don’t agree with our decision, you can ask us to look at your case again, or appeal it. You must appeal within 60 days from the date you get our decision letter. You can:

• File a disability appeal online with our new, improved process and electronically provide documents to support your request, even if you live outside of the United States; or
• Visit your local Social Security office.

For more information, call us at 800-772-1213 (TTY 800-325-0778), Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. To learn more about Social Security’s disability programs, visit our website at www.socialsecurity.gov/disability.
