Hi,

I'm sorry to hear about your wife's health problems, and about the proposed termination of her benefits.

It certainly sounds like you have a strong case for appeal. For more information on the appeals process, refer to this Social Security pamphlet: https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10041.pdf.

You may want to consider hiring an attorney or non-attorney to help you with the appeal. If you can't afford an attorney, you may qualify for free legal assistance from a legal aid society in your area. For more information, refer to this pamphlet: https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10075.pdf.

Best, Jerry
