Good Morning, I'm really confused and upset with social security I received a letter from social security security stating that I could draw my last husband widows benefits at age 50 well I filled out all the paperwork and went to there doctor and they denied me but the reason was denied social security office filled out paperwork wrong what can I do to get my late husband benefits

Hi,

In order to qualify for survivor benefits at age 50 on the record of a past husband you'd need to be approved for disabled widow's benefits or disabled surviving divorced spouse's benefits. If you applied for those benefits and your claim was disallowed, you can file a request for an appeal (https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/disability/appeal.html).

I'm not sure what you mean when you say that Social Security filled out your paperwork wrong, though. If your claim wasn't properly filed and as a result you didn't receive an initial determination, then you may have to start over by filing a new claim.

Best, Jerry
