APP001 New Application

You have the right to file a new application at any time, but filing a new application is not the same thing as appealing this decision. If you disagree with this decision and you file a new application instead of appealing:

you might lose some benefits, or not qualify for any benefits, and

we could deny the new application using this decision, if the facts and issues are the same.

So, if you disagree with this decision, you should file an appeal within 60 days.
