Some good news for a change

September 25, 2003

I am new to this board but I thought you would find this

interesting. I was approved for SSDI in December of 2002 but I had

not been receiving my benefits regularly. I have been having to call

them and fight with them every month for my monthly payments. The

monthly payments would always be late and neddless to say it caused

alot of stress for me. My family had gotten to a point where we were

eating top ramen for dinner because we were so broke. If the phone

rang my heart would jump for fear it was a bill collector. Did

Social Security care, NOT!!!! Well last week I spent about 1/2 an

hour shooting off my mouth with Social Security. I informed them

that I was writting to Congress and the Senate and I was also going

to find a local consumer advocate to take up my cause. I then typed

my letters and sent copies via fax to my local SS office. Well

wouldn't you know it but their " backlog " that they claimed they could

do nothing about, suddenly cleared up and when I checked my bank

account today the money was there! This included my back payments

from December!! Thank the Lord the bills can now be paid! I hope

that this might some you. Just write the letters and fax copies to

your local SS office that handling your case. Detail everything.

The date you filed your claim, the names and dates of everyone you

spoke with, ect. Send copies to congress and senate and your local

SS office, they don't want the local media to get ahold this

information either. Good luck to all of you out there still trying

to get your hard earned benfits.
