Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the dire need situation that I am currently facing as I await a decision on my Social Security Disability claim.

Throughout this challenging period, I have been struggling to make ends meet and provide for myself {insert dependent children
if applicable} Due to the lengthy processing time for my disability claim, I am now facing an extremely critical situation that threatens the safety and well-being of myself and my family.
As of now, I am without any source of income, and my savings have been completely exhausted. I am on the verge of being evicted from my home, and my family's shelter is at risk. The imminent threat of homelessness not only puts our physical well-being in jeopardy but also places my children's safety in a precarious position.
The lack of income and resources has made it increasingly difficult for me to provide basic necessities such as food, medical care, and utilities. My ability to secure medical attention has become restricted, which further xacerbates my health condition. Additionally, the financial strain has led to an overwhelming sense of instability and stress, negatively impacting my ability to focus on my children's needs and my own recovery.
In light of these circumstances, I urgently request that my case be designated as a dire need situation in accordance with the
guidelines outlined on the Social Security Administration's website. Considering the potential dangers to myself and family.
I thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
