Hearing Preparation: Gather additional evidence to support your claim, such as medical records, witness statements, and expert testimony.
Attend a Hearing: Present your case at a hearing before an administrative law judge. This may involve providing testimony, presenting evidence, and cross-examining witnesses.
Receive a Decision: The judge will issue a decision based on the evidence and arguments presented. If the decision is unfavorable, you may have the option to appeal further to a higher court.
