New York City SSDI Attorneys
Due to the passage of new laws, it is more important now than ever to discuss your Social Security Disability case with an experienced attorney. If you have applied for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits and your application has been denied, you should consult with an attorney before determining how to best proceed with your case.

Can I File a New Application While My Appeal Is Pending?
Pursuant to the new laws, if you file an SSDI appeal, you may not file another new application for SSDI benefits until your appeal has been denied. If your appeal has been denied, you may file a new application for benefits, unless you appeal that decision as well, in which case you must wait until that appeals process is concluded.
If you choose not to appeal your SSDI denial, you may file a new application for benefits. However, if you choose to file a new application without appealing your denial, you may have a harder time winning your case, and you will not be able to obtain benefits backdated to the time you initially filed for application for benefits. Since the Social Security Administration may consider your prior denial and assume that your case has already been heard and denied, you may have to demonstrate that the severity of your injury has worsened in order to obtain benefits.
