Agent that appeals denied Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) claims for applicants
An autonomous agent that fights wrongful SSDI denials by assembling medical evidence, filing appeals within strict deadlines, drafting reconsideration requests grounded in SSA policy, and escalating to the applicant only for signature and authorization.
The problem
SSDI applicants face a 65–70% initial denial rate; most lack resources to appeal within 60–90-day windows, surrender after first denial, or hire attorneys at 25% of back pay. Appeals require precise medical narrative alignment to SSA's residual functional capacity (RFC) standards, policy citations, and sequential filing through Reconsideration, ALJ hearing, and Appeals Council stages—a multi-year bureaucratic hell with compounding deadlines.
Who has it: Applicants denied SSDI on initial claim who cannot afford disability attorneys ($3K–$8K upfront or contingency) and are in financial crisis during the appeals process.
Why now: SSDI backlog is at historic highs (1.3M pending cases); ALJ hearing wait times exceed 18 months. Applicants are increasingly digitally native and willing to pay outcome fees. SSA portals now support electronic filing and document submission, enabling agent automation of appeals workflow.
