i was denied ssi by an administrative law judge i was not represented by an attorney. i have been recieving ssi since 2006.

I dont understand what i am to do. i have schitzophrenia. my doctor told me to pursue dissability. on august 10 2016 my case came up for review by the department of human sevice dissability determination. they asked me to meet wth a doctor james peterson. i did not meet with him and my dissability payments were stopped. a law judge determined i didny get payments. but i was never at the hearing. i appealed and now have lost my appeal i think. i have never had an attorney and i think i might need one.
