9.15.2017 Denial Notices—Right to Representation The denial notification must include a statement that members may be represented by anyone they choose, including an attorney. If the notification states that members have the right to be represented by anyone, but does not specify “including an attorney,” is this acceptable?

Yes. If the notification indicates that members may be represented by anyone, this is acceptable because the reference to “anyone” implies “including an attorney.” If the notification lists specific types of individuals, it must also specify “an attorney.”
