By having the applicant agree, they generally lose the option to appeal.

*admin edit*...... what I was explaining in my post. When the SSA approves a claim at the initial level, they don't give you an option of the alleged onset date. I'm not talking at all about anything to do with a hearing before an ALJ. I specifically indicated what to be aware of when it came to being approved on the initial level because it's rare and if the SSA approves the claim as of the application date and you feel you've been disabled 12 months prior to that, you may want to appeal if the evidence is there to support it.
