Social Security Disability Guide:
Appeal to Federal Court
If the Appeals Council refuses to review the case, or affirms the
Administrative Law Judge's denial, the claimant then has only 60 days
to appeal to the Federal District Court for the geographical area where
the claimant lives.
It is recommended that a lawyer represent the claimant in court,
although a claimant can act as his/her own representative. However,
another individual who is not a lawyer can not represent the claimant
in court.
Under the law, the Federal Court hears no witnesses, may take no new
evidence, and must confine itself to the record made up by the Social
Security Administration (including the transcript of the hearing before
the Administrative Law Judge).
