Have you ever written an appeal? (the update)

I remember that discussion, but don't think I replied because I had no idea how to write one..But congrats on it going through, I am so happy for you..

that is so wonderful to hear

I have never had to write an official sort of document like that. I'm glad you had someone to help you. The specialist would be able to help you best describe what your son's condition is. I'm glad your appeal has been approved. I only wish that more people had the happy outcome you did.

I have written so many official letters in the past but couldn't remember writing a letter of appeal. I guess writing an appeal letter is not easy as you have to appear to be in a desperate situation to earn sympathy to get a nod of approval. You are lucky to get an approval from the authorities concerned.

So very happy for you and your son. I have never written an appeal..don't even know where I would start but it certainly is worth it if you won!

No, sacmom, I have never written an appeal but way ta go to you. I wasn't aware of your family's struggles but can appreciate the serious of it. Keep up the fight and never give up caring and protecting the rights of your son. If I ever do have occasion to write an appeal, I shall keep in mind the path you have taken to come up with a positive result; congratulations.

That's great news, congratulations. They took there time though. I hope your son is ok and can begin the treatment as soon as possible.

I'm so glad to hear that! I remember how grateful I was when my doctor did that for me.

I have never had to write an appeal before but I am sure that I will, sooner or later. I'm glad yours went through.

Wow! That was 6 months ago!! lol :D I didn't even remember i response to that until i checked on the last page of it!! And your hopes did come finally came true and it's approved U are so lucky, having the specialist doctor to push it through for him. Some doctors ain't that kind, when their purpose is to save many lives, not just only one I'm happy for u and your brother.. haha ^^

hi sacmom I am glad it has b een approved and you can get the medical help your son needed. I did write an appeal to get Ssi and It was approved as I was made homeless and am physically handicapped with diabetes ,I was living with my adult son in a two bedr oom apt when he got laid off his job, we got behind in the rent and were ev icted,. winning t he appeal mean I had enough with my social security and ssi checks to be able to live here in Gold /rest retirement center so i would not have to stay on the street. my son finally has got a full time job bu t not yet able to rent another expensive two bedroom apt ye t.

I am happy to hear that your appeal was accepted. I am now happy that your son can get the medical treatment he needs. That's what I hate about medical insurance. They make you pay a high premium and then they don't want to cover anything.
