Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 Oh , I am so sorry this happened. I could just scream! When you meet with your attorney on Monday, tell him you want to file a " Request for a Hearing " with an Administrative Law Judge. If you haven't signed the " Appointment of Representative Form " nows the time. (Your Attorney has these, he signs it too, then it goes on to the Office of Hearings and Appeals.) I know you must be so tired and frustrated with this whole process by now, but it is your RIGHT to 'due process' and, with your attorney present, to meet with an ALJ regarding your individual case. Prior to your Hearing date, you and your attorney will have an opportunity to review your Social Security/Office of Hearings and Appeals file, and look it over. Pay special attention to any 'missing' information, and at this time add more if you have it. It does seem a rather VERY short time for you to be turned down on a Reconsideration Request, however. Here we usually hear about those at least 6-8 months after filing, but then So. Calif. is quite large in populations applying for benefits. But never mind, make your attorney work for you. If I can help with anything, CMT wise, or otherwise, please let me know. ~ Gretchen Quote
