Denial rates for Social Security disability claims rise, research shows

Research highlighted by MarketWatch finds the denial rate has increased in disability cases even as Social Security says it is handling claims better.

Reported · Written up by our desk · North America

Social Security’s disability program is facing growing scrutiny after research reviewed by MarketWatch found denial rates have increased for disability claims.

The outlet reports that while Social Security says it has improved how it handles disability cases, the higher denials suggest more applicants may be getting pushed away.

MarketWatch points to the research as evidence that outcomes for disability applicants may not be improving in practice despite the agency’s stated progress.
