Denied claims

State-specific denied claim research pages covering denial letters, appeal preparation, evidence, and attorney consultation questions.

What to check on a denial notice

A denied-claim page should begin with the exact denial reason, the date on the notice, the condition being disputed, and the agency procedure for the state.

Before you rely on a page

  • Highlight the denial reason.
  • Keep proof of mailing or portal messages.
  • Match the denial to medical or wage records.
  • Confirm the response path before waiting.

When time is short

If a notice gives a deadline or hearing date, verify the next step through an official agency or licensed attorney before waiting for more reading.
