Ask for help with the appeal process

Use one of these options to get support with your appeal or get an overview of the appeal process.

Feel free to contact the WCAT team anytime during your appeal process. They can offer information to keep an appeal on track. For example, they can answer questions about how the process works or explain the next step in an appeal. WCAT staff remain neutral, which means they cannot offer legal advice or act as your advocate or representative.
