Do appeal. A large percent of equipment gets denied, and a large percent of those
appealed get approved. Also keep in mind that every time you do not appeal, you damage
your chances of getting equipment approved in the future, as well as that of others. Every
single equipment which was fought for until it is approved, helps improve the system and
the future of technology availability for people with disabilities.
Last but not least, keep in mind that reviewers never hear about the success stories. They
only see claims and complaints. Let us help them understand the benefits of these devices
by describing how they make a difference. After approval, write them a letter and
describe how this equipment changed your child’s and your family’s life. It will help
your next claim as well as other people’s claims, and may eventually help loosen the
funding squeeze.
