Rejected Appeal Next-Step Decision Tree
Decide what to do after an appeal is turned down.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Walk me through a decision tree after a rejected appeal. The appeal and where it went: [APPEAL_AND_BODY]. The rejection reason: [REJECTION_REASON]. New evidence available: [NEW_EVIDENCE]. Further appeal routes I know of: [KNOWN_ROUTES]. Time limit on the rejection letter: [TIME_LIMIT]. Ask me, one question at a time: Was the decision based on facts I can correct? Is there new evidence? Is there a further stage of appeal and when does it close? Is there an independent reviewer? Do the costs make sense? Record each answer, then present the branches: correct the record, submit new evidence, request an independent review, complain about process, escalate to a regulator or ombudsman, use a different route such as a payment dispute or small claims, or stop. For the branch I reach, write a one-paragraph plan and a short draft message. Mark time limits [VERIFY] and tell me to put them in my calendar today. Be honest if the remaining routes look weak. Treat this as writing help only. Quote no statute from memory. Use [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] as given. Say when to see a professional. Promise no result.

Q1: Was the decision based on a fact I can correct? Answer: yes, the address was wrong. Q2: New evidence? Yes, utility bill. Q3: Further stage? Yes, review within 30 days of 3 May [VERIFY]. Branch: correct the record and request a review by 2 June. Plan: send the bill and a one-paragraph correction; ask for confirmation of receipt; set a reminder for 26 May. Draft: 'I am asking for a review of the decision of 3 May because it relied on the address 5 High St; my address is 5 High Road (bill attached).'
