I recieved a call from the my local SSD agent, he left a message, I was at DR's and had my cell on silent. Agent said..."Reason why it's being held is SSD is verifing if I recieved any type of Workers comp, State disabilty any public Disability and that my attorney is protesting his fee"
Agent said he sent a status update saying its a 'Dire need' that my payments be processed.
Sorry, this is wat I meant to say on other post 'Dire Neeed', not emergency.
I'm going to call in a couple of hours to see if anything has changed.
Oh, I called my attorney and the Rep. said "were not disputing the fee,we just sent our Fee amount and this is just protocol".
I asked how much he was requesting for a fee,she really didn't give me an answer,she brought up the Fee schedule I signed in 3/2009, stating attorney can get 25% or $5,300. also the paragraph on their id say the amount may change from time time.
I will call my local office and try to find out what the attorney fee is. Does the attorney have to accept the Judges amount, whatever judge thinks is reasonable, in the end?
I'm glad for you Cblue, that you will be getting your payment tomorrow!
