It is quite scary. I do get frustrated, tired, stressed. I am glad I have had previous experience in having to document interactions, etc, for legal purposes. not everyone has that experience or the skills. Nor should they have to have such skills. These people are getting runover by representatives of the SSA. The case workers are supposed to be assisting the claimant.

In commercial insurance, there are often incentives for employees to wrap up cases, regardless of how it is done, by the end of each month. Makes me wonder if the SSA offers incentives for their employees to do the same?
What other reason would there be for this caseworker to treat me like that? She was overly eager to close the case. She cannot do so if I file an appeal.

I think they should have to pay my legal fees. I do not know if I can make that happen; if I can do so , I will be doing it.

At some point, I will also be showing all of these letters and more to my federal U.S. Senators, etc. They need to know how the SSA is treating their constituents.

This is incredibly stressful. I have done this much without any legal advice. I am getting tired though, so it must be time to turn my documentation over to a private attorney. I want the fees covered by the SSA; they are causing the need for an attorney. I am sure there is some federal legal act which protects the SSA and its employees.

Thanks for listening!
