Let's see. I left off where I can't get any help from anyone. Well, to confirm this, I recieved a letter from Senator Isakson's rep stating he was sorry and that they had denied me again, as stated in yesterday's blog, and apologized that he could not be of further assistance. To make it worse, I got a letter from Saxby Chambliss's constituant rep as well with the same "canned response" as I recieved from Isakson's rep. Go figure!!! I did contact Isakson's rep yesterday to advise him that when I contacted the 800 number for SS Disability that they told me that the paperwork had not even been processed and ready to send and that he would request it be sent. Mind you that I requested this info on Jan 6 and they told me that they would request it then. So I have had two requests for this denial letter so that I can start the next appeal process. So Low and Behold, I get the denial letter in the mail yesterday. It was dated December 29, 2008 but the date was marked through and January 9, 2009 was written under it. It is very plain and visible!!! They didn't even try to hide the fact that they have had it sitting there since Dec of 08. But they didn't send any appeal forms for me to fill out. All this means is that now I have to wait for the forms to come and delay my 60 days even longer to make that less time for me.

Well, let's tell about the denial letter. It states that they ddenied me again because I was doing gainful employment. (20 hours at 7.00>>real gainful) Also said that I was able to do the work in which I was doing before my disability began. Trying to roll hair, do nails, cut hair, etc., run a cash register, type on a computer, wait tables, and all of those jobs with a hand that is so deformed that I have to hold the pinky finger and ring finger down with the other fingers on my left hand to type on a computer, or a grip that would let me drop your food or drink in your lap, or cut your hair or do nails until my fingers would not even bend or grip the hair or hands. Rooling a perm makes me hurt for 3 to 4 days. But that is okay as long as I can work, "even though it might cause me pain and discomfort", it is okay. This is a quote form the letter. I did not make it up. Every denial I have recieved has said the same thing. "Even though you may be in pain and discomfort, we have determined that you are capable of doing the jobs in whcih you have previously been accustomed to doing." I swear it says that in every one of them. zi would give anything to see these morons try to do what I do in as much pain as I live in. They would not last 5 minutes.

I don't know what can be done, but something has to be done to change things in this type of situation. I guess because they don't have to jump through the hoops and roll over and play dead like we do they don't care. I guess when they want disability they already know what to do so that they will never have to do what we do. They just go to their buddies and say, " Hey here is my paperwork sign off on it so I can go out of work tomorrow and receive my check on Friday so that I don't miss any pay or lose my house or lose my car or my famliy. I have to have my money before I go out of work, I can't wait. I don't want to be like the people we deny. So make sure mine is done before the day is out."

No one in the Government seems to give a care because they don't have to do through it either. They had rather us live on the street and then they will give us what we want and arrest us for vagrancy.
