From the letter to the plan.

Fig. 1A denial arrives at night. By morning, it reads in plain English.

An animated film in the style of a woodblock print. At night a folded letter drifts down over a calm sea and unfolds. A glass lens moves down it and turns each line into plain English: the plan says approval was needed first; you can appeal, and you have 180 days; a letter from your doctor can help.

As dawn comes, the pages of the appeal (an appeal letter, an evidence checklist and a deadline tracker) fan out, fold into a paper plane, and the plane flies into the sunrise.

It ends in morning light: Understand the denial. Build the appeal. Free preview, no card, you send it yourself. The letter shown is fictional.

How long do you have?

Often 180 days. Your letter has the exact date.
