Denied Social Security Disability? Appeal Help in MS

Turn a Denial Into a Second Chance—with Legal Help That Works

Don’t Give Up—Most SSD Claims Are Denied at First

If your Social Security Disability claim was denied in Mississippi, you’re not alone. In fact, the majority of initial SSDI and SSI applications are denied—often because of technicalities, missing records, or lack of detail. But a denial isn’t the end of the road.



At Frank Shaw Law Firm, we help people across Kosciusko, Attala County, and surrounding communities appeal SSD denials and finally get the benefits they’ve earned. We know the system. We know the process. And we know how to build a stronger case the second time around.

Understanding the Appeals Process in Mississippi

Once your claim is denied, the clock starts ticking. You only have 60 days to appeal—missing that deadline can mean starting over from scratch.


There are several levels of appeal:

Black checkmark.

Reconsideration

A new SSA reviewer looks at your case. Most reconsiderations are also denied—but it’s a required step.

Hearing Before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ)

This is where many claims are finally approved. A judge listens to your story, reviews your evidence, and decides.

Appeals Council Review

If the judge denies your claim, we can ask the Appeals Council to review that decision.

Federal Court

In rare cases, we can take your claim into the federal court system if all SSA options are exhausted.

We handle appeals at every level and keep track of every deadline. We take the pressure off your shoulders.
