Who to contact

Step by step
- Locate the formal letter stating both the eligibility category and the priority category.
- Compare the letter with current DDA terminology rather than relying on an older verbal description.
- Ask the Regional Office to identify the controlling written decision if records or labels conflict.
Expected next
A confirmed written eligibility and priority determination, or a named correction still being processed.
Save this proof
The current determination letter and any written clarification from the Regional Office.
