If I appeal my claim to the federal court what happens to attorneys’ fees?

The court can allow a reasonable fee for your attorney. The fee usually will not exceed 25% of all past-due benefits that result from the court’s decision. Your attorney cannot charge any additional fee for services before the court. Your attorney may elect to be paid with your consent under the Equal Access to justice Act, but this will require a separate contract.
