What documentation should I have when appealing a decision?

When appealing a decision regarding a disability in California, there is supporting documentation that should accompany your appeal. The documentation should contain information that provides factual evidence in support of the appeal. First, it is important to include your written appeal of the original decision. This appeal should include your full name and contact information. Additionally, any medical documentation regarding your disability should be included. Depending on the type of disability you have, this documentation could include diagnosis information, treatment records, and any other relevant medical documentation. The Social Security Disability documentation may also be necessary to prove your disability. If you are seeking special accommodations because of your disability, any documentation that provides evidence of the need for special accommodations should also be included. Finally, it is often helpful to include any supporting letters or other documentation from third parties that can attest to the severity or impact of your disability. Having all of this documentation will help to make your case stronger when appealing a disability decision in California.
