Good Morning, BirdDancer!
It's always a pleasure!

Thank you for reading. As I look back over my post, I can see it's a bit fragmented. However, I think I get the basic story across.

I had forgotten to mention: Not only have they been denying me my rights to information, rights to more info, my rights to appeal any decision handed down, the caseworker I've reported, had been calling and telling me to just "go with it and appeal sometime in the future," not even advising me of any time limit within which I must file any appeal or giving me any other pertinent information..

Both the content of her calls and of her letters are not only against SSA protocol/regulations, she clearly treats me like I am an imbecile. Who talks to another adult they way she does? When an adult applicant is repeatedly requesting info re: rights, who says "just go with it?" It's so very condescending.

Does she say these types of things to every applicant? Or maybe only to applicants with some psych diagnoses (in the mix of all diagnoses utilized to qualify for disability)???

And if a person was, indeed, seriously impaired when she'd treated him/her this way, coaching them to "just go with it," what would happen to the client/applicant?

Forgive my little rant, please?
This infuriates me. I am not the only person she has done this to, I am sure.

I saw your goals for the day, BirdDancer! I hope you have a fruitful day!
