I was denied SSI and need help reapplying.
Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your SSI denial. Could you please tell me the reason given for your denial? It will help me guide you on the best steps to take for your reapplication in West Virginia.
They determined that my condition was not severe enough to qualify.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. In West Virginia, to qualify for SSI due to a disability:
- The condition must significantly limit your ability to do basic work activities.
- The condition must last or be expected to last for at least one year or result in death.
You may want to gather more medical evidence.
I had a mental break down in *. I have not been able to drive since then. I've been receiving medical help from a Psychiatrist and a therapist since then. I see Dr. Faheem in Beckley WV he has wrote letters to social security telling them I'm unable to work.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. The next step could be to request a reconsideration of your SSI denial. This is a complete review of your claim by someone who didn't take part in the first decision. You can request a reconsideration within 60 days of receiving the decision letter.
I've been denied twice. Do you know where I could get help with filling out the application forms.
I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties, ****. You might find assistance with filling out your forms at the nearest legal aid office or a disability rights organization. In West Virginia, you can contact Mountain State Justice or Legal Aid of West Virginia for help.
I tried legal aid they are not accepting clients at this time. Thank you for your time and information.
