I just received notice from my attorney a month before my hearing that The SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION passed a law in June stating the lawyer can charge 25% now instead of the 15% document I signed.
Go figure...is this a politcal act of increasing attorney fees? As if attoeneys need it more than we, the patient needs the monthly allowable measly pentance we have paid into ALL these years yet other abroad can receive SS with no deposits into the SSA. How messed up is the system?
