Zevan, not to sound rude but you make it sound as if everybody is out to get you. Two lawyers drop you, the ALJ's, the therapists intentionally keep generic notes, etc. Do you think maybe your approach/behavior with these people may have something to do with how the outcomes have ended up? I am by no means condoning their behavior, however, your posts are very arguementative, even with people jsut trying to offer you suggestions/advice with things you are being evasive with. It is like telling half of a story and expecting people to believe your side of it.
You seem to know and spend to much time on this counselor's dirty secrects than focusing on your own case. How do you know her disability isn't something you can't see? She could have a heart condition, your being judgemental....exactly what you don't want people to be of you. I too have had to pay out of pocket for medical with my tax dollars for the last year. I worked for the government and am now on SSDI as of November 2011. There are 1,001 things in life that aren't fair to me or that I do not agree with, but I cannot be a vigilante and hate the world for it. I have to manage the best I can, with what I have, not worry about what others have. If I am entitled, qualified or whatever, then it will come, sometimes with a struggle/fight. I don't expect what is not righftully mine.
I have been dealing with multpile agencies for over a year now, Worker's Comp, SS, NYS Retirement System. I am finally on board with all 3 together and will be collecting all 3 as of March 1,2012 and will be receiving my medical back from my former employer. I never once tried to "get anybody", focused on what I was required to do by each agency and complied. I worked with each doctor, Pt, therapist, attorney, etc., and it has been very stressful. Dealing with all of these people, even people who are out to get me (worker's comp)and trying to deal with my physical injuries and depression/anxiety has been a true test of sanity. My time is not worth being angry over, not worth trying to take everybody I come in contact with, down, suing them, fighting them....in the end....you are the one angry and alone.
