He has a learning disability and he isn't handicapped. He is still in school and attends regular classes but with many accomodations. He is very forgetful and has to be told things many times before he does it, he daydreams alot and wanders off in his thoughts, He doesn't focus very well and rarely does things on his own without being told. They said he is able to work but I don't think so. You have to constantly stay onto him for him to do work and for him to stay focused. Otherwise he just zones out and forgets and no one is going personally stay on him like his family does. He is fighting to get his disability back...What kinds of things should he say? We have to write this letter to explain why we think their decision was wrong...What should we say? Why does someone like him who has a legit. problem get denied and the people who are fake get theres their entire life? Thats not fair. I don't want to cheat the system I just want them to see he has a real learning problem....

Again..what should he put in the letter? What ways can we grab their attention so that he can get his disability back?

What you need to do is call Binder and Binder (disability advocates) 1-800-66-BINDER. They will probably get all info on file right then. You will then fill out the paperwork again and they will tell you what to do.
Was your cousin actually denied or did they pull his disability when he turned 18 and he needs to be evaluated again. That happens too.
These people can and will help; give them a call.
Good luck.

I have epelepsy and have suffered from Grand Mall Seizures since Jr. High. Ive been applying for dissability for over ten years and they keep denying me. I have broken my front teeth out, and had several seizures at work. I even got tangled up in a phone chord at work and nearly got strangled to death. Life isn't fair, and that is just the way it goes. A learning disorder isn't much of a problem. Try having a seizure while driving a car and flying twenty five feet off a reveen and waking up with your arm pinned between a car and a tree, a broken elbow, arm, sternum, calavical, zygomatic, and jaw. Then go through a year of intensive excersize because your left arm was paralized... and STILL they denied me. I would consider him lucky he got on at all.

well, I have to be honest with you... your description sounds a LOT like me when I was younger (no focus, tasking inability, etc.) and I was taught to compensate for it in various ways. I am now a successful businesswoman (own my own company that I built from the ground up) and I make over $100K a year... plus I have a loving family and a very full life.
Rather than fighting for a disability check, why not get him into a coaching program? LD's do NOT have to be life-altering... only if you LET them overwhelm you.

actaully, i think what he needs in a lawyer.
Based on your description, he can't work. Someone who knows the disability system needs to be able to argue for him - that is a lawyer. The lawyer will probably enlist the aid of a psychiatrist.
It might be possible to make the change with the letters of 2 psychiatrists, but to make sure, i would get the lawyer.

The Joey Crack one is bullsh*t. So is the cousins one, I'm not sure where you're getting these but some are just incredibly false. @Ruck, it's a well known fact Dr. Dre has ghostwriters, I doubt that's going to surprise anyone.
