Appeal process
 

Hello.  I'd like to submit a comment about the appeal process.  I was denied funding for IFSP and told to submit an appeal if I wanted to do so.

I took the time to submit an appeal and received an email that funds had been exhausted, which is the same reason that I was given initially.  It seems like the appeals process is not really an appeal as no further reason was given.  I was induced into taking the time to submit an appeal when the agency had no real intention of reviewing my appeal.

Please don't offer an appeal process if there isn't really an appeal review.

 

Brian
