    Fight it — Appeals Plus

    $39, per case

    We write the request first and show you the preview. If we can't write it, you're never asked to pay. This is the appeal packet:

    1. The reconsideration request, argued from the rule and your own facts.
    2. The 407.32 relief request, with the evidence list, if federal misinformation or SSA's own error applies.
    3. The SSA-1696 Appointment of Representative form, so you can act for your parent.
    4. Every follow-up letter as the case moves, at every level, for 12 months.
  5. 5

    Keep going until it's done

    Free

    Upload each decision as it arrives and the case moves to the next level with a new deadline and a new letter. One payment covers this case at every level for 12 months.

Why not free?

The explanation is free because you shouldn't have to trust us before you've seen that we read your notice correctly. The packet costs money because it costs us money to build and keep current.
