A:
If you were denied online for SSDI, the letter you receive should clearly state the decision. It's possible that there was some confusion during the online updates, but the official letter will confirm your status. The letter will provide details on why the decision was made, which could be due to medical or non-medical reasons.
Sometimes, the online status can change unexpectedly or show inconsistent updates, as you've experienced. This can happen due to system updates or internal reviews that are not visible to you. Until you receive the official letter, the online information should be considered preliminary.
Once you get your denial letter, it’s important to read it carefully to understand the reasons. If you believe the denial was incorrect, you will have the right to appeal the decision. Make sure to keep track of any deadlines mentioned, as the appeal process is time-sensitive.
