Appeals Council If you disagree with the hearing decision, you may ask for a review by Social Security’s Appeals Council. We will be glad to help you ask for this review. The Appeals Council looks at all requests for review, but it may deny a request if it believes the hearing decision was correct. If the Appeals Council decides to review your case, it will either decide your case itself or return it to an administrative law judge for further review. If the Appeals Council denies your request for review, we will send you a *letter explaining the denial. If the Appeals Council reviews your case and makes a decision itself, we will send you a copy of the decision. If the Appeals Council returns your case to an administrative law judge, we will send you a letter and a copy of the order. |

Just as a quick update, I got approval to change agencies and scheduled an appointment with a new therapist for next week. Now I get to tell all my crap to a complete stranger. Not exactly fun for someone with social phobia.

I'm sorry to hear how much problems you are experiencing. Getting SSI/SSDI is extremely time consuming. I do agree with a previous post that you should ask your attorney who she would recommend as a therapist. However, in many cases, a psychiatrist's opinion is better. Before you went in front of the ALJ, did the SSA send you to a psychiatrist of their own for an independent opinion?
As far as your attorney, do you know how experienced she is in handling SSI/SSDI cases? I can't tell you how important it is to have an EXPERIENCED attorney. This person basically has your life in their hands. I was unclear on your appeal to the Appeals Court. Has that been already been filed because you only have a limited amount of time from receipt of the ALJ's decision to file with the appeals court. If that has been missed, you will have to start the process over. I wish you the best of luck with this process and don't give up hope. |

Good for you CW !
I understand that means another cause for anxiety. Maybe you could start by typing as much of the info as you can and printing it out. Then you can be sure you have given the new therapist a thorough review of your situation and your needs. Hopefully, that will decrease your stage fright a bit on the day of your visit. Take Care

Just wanted to update this. The lawyer has submitted the brief on my behalf to the appeals council. She sent me a copy and I have to say that she did a good job with it. Whether the appeals council agrees or not, I cannot control. Struggling with how I will survive while the decision is being made and what I do if I am denied yet again. More waiting.
Thanks, again, for all the support. |
