"Why do I keep getting denied if I am clearly disabled?!"

This is a question that many ask after waiting several months for the SSA to decide their claim, only for it to be denied. The SSA does not tell you what they look for when deciding your claim, or their process when making a decision, which makes it all the more frustrating and confusing.

Knowing how the SSA decides whether you are disabled is crucial to succeeding, so I have provided this guide that explains every criteria your claim must pass to get approved. As always, call me at (865) 566-0125 if you need someone on your side with the knowledge and experience necessary to navigate this complex process to get you approved for disability benefits!
