Call your local office and tell them that you heard from the national 800# you were approved. They can pull up your file and give you a much more trust worthy answer and it'll take you 10 minutes.
It is not only attorneys that claim the national 800# is unreliable, it is also the case workers and supervisors at local offices, as well as more experienced people on this board.
