Appeal deadline questions after an unemployment denial, janitorial supervisor here

My claim was denied after 25 weeks of waiting, and the letter says I have a short window to appeal. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. My employer's version of events does not match mine, and I have emails that show it. Did you bring documents or only talk?

I printed my emails in order and wrote a one-page timeline. The hearing officer kept going back to it.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
