If you are again denied benefits, you will have 60 days to request a hearing before an administrative law judge. The judge takes testimony from the applicant and sometimes family members and experts who evaluate cases for the administration. At this point, you should consult with an attorney. It is best to call an attorney upon receipt of the denial of the request for reconsideration. This is not covered by your legal services benefit plan. However, you can be provided with a referral to a cooperating attorney in your area who handles these kinds of claims.
