In person or telephonic request for withdrawal
If the DDS receives a withdrawal request either in person or by telephone, advise
the individual that withdrawing the reconsideration request for reconsideration of a disability cessation may be disadvantageous based on the reasons cited on the form SSA-789 (Request for Reconsideration-Disability Cessation Right to Appear).
If the individual still wants to withdraw the request for reconsideration of a disability
cessation, advise them that they must submit a written request to the FO for approval.
If necessary, the DDS should telephone the disability hearing unit (DHU) and request
postponement of the hearing process, pending disposition of the withdrawal.

If the DDS receives a written request for withdrawal, place the request into the electronic

If the individual wants to continue withdrawal of the request for reconsideration
