Yes, unfortunately, they make a sick person wait. SS hopes they give up or die. It should not be a war to get medical help in this day and age. It is all about the money these days, and maybe not so much those deserving of help. I am horrified at the number of deserving people, sick in bed and unable to get their disability. It takes a lawyer, or a representative to keep the process going. We must remember those in office don't live by the same standards as we do. If they had to abide by the same conditions, perhaps there could be a change.
The war to get health benefits must end. We must protect those least able to care for themselves. Write to those in office, and be proactive. I wish the best for all of us. ginnie
