(b) You are a party to the reconsidered determination or the hearing decision.
(c) You have submitted a written request for the expedited appeals process.
(d) You have claimed, and we agree, that the only factor preventing a favorable determination or decision is a provision in the law that you believe is unconstitutional.
(e) If you are not the only party, all parties to the determination or decision agree to request the expedited appeals process.
