Several weeks ago I called the caseworker evaluating my SSDI application to check on the progress. She indicated that she was missing one recent report from my PCP, despite a written request. I was surprised since she had received about 600 pages of medical records. I offered to get the record myself and send it to her. She told me to call her when I had the report so she could give me a bar code to send it to her.

After I got the report I called and left messages for two weeks for her to please call me to provide me with the barcode. No response. When I called last week the reviewer answered the phone and stated that she had already made her decision, didn't need the report in question after all and that her decision had already been reviewed by an in house physician.

Of course she indicated that she was not permitted to tell me of the decision and additionally, my case could be selected for a "quality review."

I am also concerned about reports that quotas have now been established since so many folks are losing their jobs and filing for SSDI because they can't find work.

I am confused. Any feedback from those who have gone before me would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!
