Disability Facts and Statistics
The percentage of disability claims that are denied on the initial request varies over time and can depend on various factors such as the region, the specific disability, and changes in policies or procedures. However, historically, a significant portion of disability claims are initially denied.
As of the latest available data, which may have changed since then, approximately 67% to 75% of initial Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) claims are denied.
For Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims, the denial rate on the initial request tends to be even higher, ranging from about 75% to 80%.
These statistics highlight the importance of being prepared for potential denials and understanding the appeals process to increase the chances of a successful disability claim.

Frequently Discussed Disability Issues
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
SSI and SSDI are disability benefit programs run by Social Security Administration (SSA). Both programs pay monthly cash benefits to people with disabilities that will last twelve (12) months and who cannot maintain substantial and gainful employment. To get SSI and SSDI benefits, you must be disabled under SSA rules.
DO I NEED AN ATTORNEY?
Research shows that a large majority of SSI/SSDI cases are denied upon application and require additional appeals and/or a hearing. Although the informality of the hearings makes it possible for some claimants to represent themselves, statistics have shown that people represented by attorneys have been successful more often than people without attorney representation. Whether you hire an attorney is entirely up to you, but you are significantly increasing your odds of being approved for benefits if you hire the right attorney to assist you.
WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?
It is important for you to develop your case as accurately and completely as possible. These are some of the areas that SSA will take into accounts as you are reviewed for disability benefits. Being as thorough as possible on the areas below is critical for strengthening your case:
- Medical Condition(s)
- Medical History
- Medical Records
- Physical Abilities
- Education and Training
- Past Relevant Work Experience
