If your appeal is denied by the Appeals Council, the remaining stages of your appeal will take place in Federal Court. You will not be expected to appear in court. You cannot be represented by a disability advocate. You must have a Social Security Disability attorney who is admitted to the federal district where the appeal will be filed. To start, speak with your attorney about filing an Appeals Council review. If the Appeals Council again decides against you, it is time to discuss taking your case to Federal District Court. When the issues in your case are meritorious, Avard Law Offices handles appeals in Federal Courts in many parts of the US.
