Write the questions to ask before you appeal a denial

The deadline is not checked. Use the one on the paper.

This is not legal advice. The date you type was not checked. An appeal may have rules this page does not know.

Who it is for

Someone holding a denial letter with a date and a phone number on it.

Do this next

  1. Type who sent the letter.
  2. Type the deadline exactly as printed.
  3. Copy the questions.
  4. Ask how to appeal in writing.
  5. Send nothing until you know the address on the letter.

Who this will not work for

  • A person whose letter has no deadline. Do not invent one. Call the sender.
  • A promise that an appeal will work.
  • Anyone who wants this page to file the appeal. It does not.
