Someone that I helped get benefits a few years back, called me very upset. She told me her benefits were being stopped in March because she no longer was available for SSI. I told here to call the SSI local office and find out why, there was no explanation in the letter. The SSI administration said they had nothing in their system that showed her benefits were stopping. So I asked her if she could fax me the letter. In receiving the letter, I noticed my name at the top with her address and SS#. Because I was the representative someone put my name as the claimant. Even though they made this error she still has to file an appeal so her benefits won't stop, until we straighten this out. This is just some of the emotions and stress of the SS administration. So when you get a letter make sure you keep it make copies and don't ignore it if it's a mistake, because even though it is totally their fault she still has to prove they made that mistake.
