Your Benefit Was Denied and the First Option Seems to Be the Appeal. Be Careful: Lawyer Daniel Moreno Explains Why This Decision Could End Your Chances and What the Right Path to Take Is.

Receiving the letter from INSS with the information of sick leave denied is a frustrating situation that raises many doubts. The notification itself informs about a 30-day period to file an appeal, but that is not always the best choice. According to labor lawyer Daniel Moreno, appealing administratively can be a huge waste of time.

Received the Denial Letter? Understand the Big Mistake Many Make

When INSS denies a benefit, the insured receives a denial letter. It states that you have up to 30 days to appeal the decision. In light of this, most people, without guidance, file an appeal with INSS itself, believing it to be the only path.

However, this attitude, in most cases, does not yield the expected result. It’s a common mistake that can delay the resolution of your problem for months or even over a year.

Why the Appeal Within INSS Almost Always Fails?

The reason why the administrative appeal rarely works is simple. When you appeal, your case is sent to another INSS server to review the initial decision. The problem, as lawyer Daniel Moreno explains, is that this new analysis is based exactly on the same medical report that caused the denial.

The second server will read the doctor’s opinion, which states that you are fit for work, and will agree with the initial decision. No new examination will be conducted. “What are the chances of this working? Practically zero,” says Moreno. You are simply wasting precious time waiting for a result that, in 99.9% of cases, will be another denial.

The Right Path After Having Sick Leave Denied: Judicial Action

If your sick leave denied was due to the medical examination that deemed you fit, the guidance is clear: seek justice. “Do not appeal your sick leave denial decision. […] Run to the courts, seek a lawyer,” advises Daniel Moreno.

In judicial proceedings, the scenario changes completely. The judge will order a new examination, with a different, impartial expert trusted by the court. This represents a real new chance to prove your disability.

It is essential to act quickly. Lawyers recommend filing the judicial action within the first month after the denial. Delaying for many months may lead the judge to interpret that you did not urgently need the benefit and may order you to make a new request with INSS.

And What If the Reason for the Denial Is Not the Medical Examination?

It is important to verify the exact reason for the denial in your letter. Everything mentioned above applies to cases where the INSS expert released you.

However, if the letter states that you are ill, but the denial occurred for another reason, such as “lack of contributions” (not having contributed for the minimum required time), the situation is different. In these specific cases, which are the minority, it may be viable to analyze the possibility of an appeal within INSS itself.

How to Prepare for a New Examination and Increase Your Chances

Whether in a new judicial examination or in a future request with INSS, preparation is essential. Bringing the correct documentation greatly increases your chances of approval.

The most important are tests (such as x-rays and MRIs) and a detailed and updated medical report. The expert needs concrete evidence of your condition. According to Daniel Moreno, a report from your doctor explaining your treatment is very helpful.

Medical certificates and prescriptions are important, but carry less weight. “That is the least important in your examination,” the lawyer emphasizes. Additionally, keep your tests always recent. If you have been away for two years with a test from that time, the expert may understand that your condition has not been reevaluated and deny the benefit.

Fica claro do porque o ADVOGADO faz essa sugestão, mas com 30 anos de experiencia na area ocupacional, digo q essa “chance quase zero” não é verdadeira.

How to Prepare for a New Examination and Increase Your Chances

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

The largest car carrier ship in the world will unload 7,200 BYD cars at the SC Port in June, but before that, an Italian ship will arrive this Tuesday with another 4,500 vehicles, totaling 11,700 cars, 150 workers, and a 24-hour non-stop operation at the Port of Itajaí.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.
