 Frequently Asked Questions |

| |
| What is "reconsideration"? |
| |
Answer: When a claim for Social Security disability benefits is denied at the initial level, the claimant may then request "reconsideration" of that decision. The case is then sent to a different disability examiner for a new decision. Unfortunately, about 90% of the time the reconsideration decision is the same as the initial decision - a denial.
