      If you have a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge and are denied, you have the right to appeal the case to the Appeals Council. However, the Appeals Council does not make a new decision on the merits of the case, but only determines whether the judge made an error. It’s a good idea to have a lawyer review your case and help you decide whether to file an appeal. The other option is to start over with a new application, if you have a new impairment or the severity of your impairments increased. Your previous attorney should provide you with your case file.
