Disability denied? You can still win on appeal.

~67% of SSDI applications are denied at the initial stage. Of those who ultimately receive benefits, nearly 1/3 won via appeal. Main AI reads your denial letter, identifies which step of the 5-step sequential evaluation rejected you, and drafts your Request for Reconsideration with the right medical-vocational argument.

What Main AI finds

What we catch in your SSDI denial

Step 1 — SGA earnings

SSA says you're earning above SGA ($1,620/mo for 2026). Exceptions: Trial Work Period, Unsuccessful Work Attempt, IRWE, subsidized work.

20 CFR §404.1574

Step 2 — Not severe / not 12 months

Condition not significantly limiting OR not expected to last 12+ months. Appeal needs treating physician's Medical Source Statement.

20 CFR §404.1521

Step 3 — Doesn't meet a Listing

Condition doesn't meet a specific Listing of Impairments. Combination of impairments arguments often succeed where single-listing arguments fail.

20 CFR §404.1525

Step 4 — Can do past work (PRW)

Highest-recovery appeal path: document the actual demands of past work + your current functional limitations.

20 CFR §404.1560

Step 5 — Can do other work

Medical-vocational guidelines (the 'grids') often dictate disabled for older workers with limited education + heavy past work. Big wins here.

20 CFR Part 404 App. 2

Technical denials

Insufficient work credits = consider SSI instead (no credit requirement, income-based). SSI asset issue = check exemptions (home, vehicle, ABLE).

20 CFR §404.110 / §416.1205
