I am writing in this section because I know a lot of you have social security and might be able to help me better than the other section.

About two months ago I applied for social security disablity benefits. Yesterday I received my first letter from social security and it said this

"Please come into the office with a friend or family memiber who would be willing to be your representative payee. According to our medical decision it was determined that you need someone to manage your funds for you".

So I"m wondering

When any of you were approved did you first receive that letter? Or if you were denied did you still recieve that letter?

Seems kinda silly if they are telling me to find a payee and then they are going to deny me but who knows we live in a crazy world right?

I was diagnosed with Bipolar, OCD, Ptsd, etc. Thanks
