Maybe everyone should bypass the Social Security office and just go to an elected official...
An elected official can assist in moving a case along when it has gotten stuck. The original poster in this case has not had a decision yet and was speculating about what might happen in the future. I doubt the senator has a better crystal ball than any of us.
An elected official cannot and SHOULD not be able to make a decision that any of his/her constituents should be paid government assistance. What criteria would this senator apply? Should they approve anyone who walks in the door? Should they approve only people who voted for them or said they voted for them? Getting SSA benefits is not a perk that an elected official can provide to people in his district.
Anyway, SSA is a federal program. Makes more sense to talk to a federal representative like one of your two Senators or your Congressman.
