A. Representative Requested Review - To Representative

I am writing about your request that we review our decision on the fee agreement between you and (claimant's name).

If I cannot decide the fee amount based on the fee agreement alone, I will use the value of the services you gave (claimant's name) to decide on a fee amount.

To help me decide the value of your services, I need an explanation of the services you provided and the time you spent on (claimant's name)'s Social Security claim. Within 15 days, send a copy of the information to (claimant's name) and the original to me at the return address on this letter.

If You Have Any Questions

If you have questions about this letter, please write me at the above address.
