  Question
  I received an unfavorable decision from an Administrative Law Judge, I don’t agree with it; what should I do?
  Answer
 

If you think the hearing decision is wrong, you may ask the Appeals Council to review your case. You must request this review within 60 days of receiving the decision from the Administrative Law Judge.  Your request for review must be in writing (HA-520-U5). The request should be sent directly to:

The Appeals Council
SSA, Office of Disability Adjudication and Review
5107 Leesburg Pike,
Falls Church, Virginia 22041-3255

You may also contact your local Social Security office, your local hearing office, or any other Social Security Administration office if you need help in requesting a review by the Appeals Council.
