Springfield, MO asked in Public Benefits and Appeals / Appellate Law for Missouri

Q: Who can help me appeal disability decision in Missouri after missing medical records caused a denial?

I was denied disability benefits once, possibly because not all of my medical records were included in my initial application. The most important record was left out at that time. I now have access to those missing records. Who can help me appeal this decision and ensure all relevant information is considered?

1 Lawyer Answer

A: A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Does this involve a Social Security disability denial or private insurance disability benefits denial? If it's a Social Security matter, there's a section for "Social Security" here on this Q & A forum. You could repost and include that heading. You could also reach out to attorneys who handle those appeals and arrange a free initial consult. Good luck
