I FILED FOR SS DISABILITY IN AUGUST OF 2006, AND I WAS
TURNED DOWN, AND AM STILL IN THE APPEALS PROCESS, NOW WITH AN ATTORNEY.
WHEN I WAS WAITING ON A DECISION, THIS IS THE MESSAGE I
GOT EACH TIME I CHECKED THE CLAIM STATUS AT:

The problem is, I get the run around
every time I call. And my representative NEVER returned my calls.
They did not even have my diagnosis of Peripheral neuropathy,
nor did they have the contact name and report from the GA Dept. of Labor Rehabilitation Services where I was deemed "unable
to work" by a representative of the state of GA.
GET A LAWYER THE FIRST TIME!
