If your application for social security disability benefits is rejected, you have the option of appealing that decision and asking for a reexamination and reconsideration of your case. The appeal process involves submitting a social security disability appeal report and submitting a letter of appeal. Appealing a social security rejection can be a lengthy and exhaustive process, especially if it is not correctly executed, and you may be repeatedly rejected if you cannot prove your case. Follow these guidelines for how to write an appeal letter to social security disability.
A consideration is a request to think for the first time and reconsideration is obviously thinking about it the second or third time. Reconsideration is a request to someone to re-think about her/his decision of rejection or elimination. A Reconsideration Letter comes into play only when an application or request has either been rejected or the person has been eliminated. But this letter should only be written if one has strong points to oppose the decision.
