What is Appeal to the Social Security Appeals Board (JRPS)?

When the INSS refuses a benefit, stops it, or sets a start date or initial amount you disagree with, you can appeal to a Junta de Recursos of the Conselho de Recursos da Previdência Social (CRPS). This is the editable model appeal the INSS publishes.

You give the insured person, the appellant and an address for correspondence, tick what you are appealing against with the benefit or case number, give the date you returned to work for incapacity benefits, and set out your reasons in at most 20 lines.

FileIt wraps your reasons onto the form, tells you if they are too long, and places everything on the official PDF. The appeal is saved in your vault. FileIt never sends anything to the INSS or the CRPS.

How to fill out Appeal to the Social Security Appeals Board (JRPS), step by step

1 Parties

The insured person, who appeals, and an address for correspondence. The INSS is already printed as the respondent.

2 Reason for the appeal

Refusal, cessation, start date, initial amount, or a decision in a case — each with its number.

3 Return to work

Only for incapacity benefits or disability retirement: the date you went back to work.

4 Grounds

Up to 20 lines explaining why the decision is wrong and what you ask for.

5 Place, date and signature

Signed by you or your legal representative.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Leaving out the benefit number, so the appeal can't be matched to the decision.
  • Writing more than the 20 lines the form allows.
  • Not attaching the medical reports or documents you mention.
  • Missing the time limit stated in the INSS letter.

After you fill it out

Print the appeal, sign it and attach your documents.

File it the way the INSS decision letter tells you.

Keep the copy FileIt saves in your vault with the decision letter.
