How To Request A Reconsideration
Next » « Previous3/8
In order to start a Reconsideration, you must file a Reconsideration Disability Report (SSA-3441-F6) which you can obtain at www.ssa.gov/online/ssa-3441.html 
. You will also have to file an Authorization to Release Medical Information (SSA-827) which you can obtain at: www.ssa.gov/online/ssa-827.pdf .
The Reconsideration Disability Report simply updates your information. It requests a listing of your doctors where Social Security can find records. It also asks briefly about your daily activities, work, and any changes since you first applied.
Just completing the forms is not likely to win you a reversal if there's no new medical records for Social Security to review. For tips on how to complete the questions, see Forms Used To Start A Claim.
If you don't have any attachments, you can complete the forms online. However, if there are attachments, it is preferable to send the entire package by a means which will provide you a receipt, such as U.S. Mail, return receipt requested.
Make a copy of everything before sending it to social security.
Be sure that the reconsideration is received by social security before the deadline!
Send the form and attachments by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, or by another means which supplies a delivery receipt.
