You may use this form to request a specific reasonable accommodation which, if approved, will enable you to access and/or participate in a program, service or activity.
Discrimination: you may also use this form to submit an allegation of disability-based discrimination.
Health care: do not use a CDCR 1824 to request health care or to appeal a health care decision. Instead, submit a CDC 7362 or a CDCR 602-HC.
Request, not appeal: the CDCR 1824 is a request process, not an appeal process. All CDCR 1824 requests will receive a response.
Review: each individual's request requires a case-by-case review.
