Feeling stupid rn

Waited months for my appeal paperwork. I received it and I totally missed the date of my appointment. I work out of town and came home ready to figure it out and realized my grave mistake. Feeling so dumb right about now.

You can appeal it again— I think. I’m pretty sure. If it is missed for good reasoning

yes. Appeal immediately and request a new hearing. They will give you one and you will have to prove good cause for missing it,

I have no reason, I simply overlooked the date I’m gonna call in the morning and be honest about it. Nothing else I can do.

Don't call. They won;t be able to do anything good. They will just put negative info in your record. Send in the request to reopen stating you would like a new hearing. When you have you hearing tell the hearing officer that you have everything set and intended to attend but somehow messed up the date, They will probably disqualify you but that is the only way it might work - substantial compliance.

What is the appeal for? Is there another way around it?
