The SSA Appeal forms are here:

https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ha-501.html

The Actual 'Request for a hearing" form:

https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ha-501.pdf

All you have to do is fill in the name, address and Social Security Number, as to the question "4. I REQUEST A HEARING BEFORE AN ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE. I disagree with the determination because:" Just say "I am still disabled".

The sooner the appeal is in, the quicker you will have the hearing. Once the appeal has been filed then look for an attorney.
