After your appeal is reviewed by the Appeals Council, you will receive notification that your claim will undergo a second hearing, the decision made by the judge was overturned or that you have been denied an additional review. The Appeals Council hardly ever overturns the official decision of the judge. More frequently, a case will be remanded after it is appealed at this level, which means that it will be heard by another administrative judge. Most claimants are denied after they appeal at this level, though. Depending upon your case, it might be worthwhile to appeal in the hopes that the Appeals Council will remand your case.
