- How AI is used
- Table each item allowed or refused in the decision against the category and the document in the file. Do not draft the appeal.
- What the lawyer must review
- You decide whether the decision matches the state program. 34 U.S.C. § 20102 sets conditions for a federally funded program, including the medical, wage-loss and funeral categories, and it does not set the dollar cap or the appeal path. Open the decision, the program statute and the appeal deadline before you advise. An appeal paper is yours. Opinion 512: do not file generated citations.
