I have legal assistance already. My long term disability insurance company provides it at no charge.

They assisted me in filing the claim and the daily activity form that followed. The hearing department I supposed to call me next week.

On my original application all my doctors were included. That is why I don't understand why they didn't get records from all of them.

Tombyr thanks for sharing your experience as well.

I think I am overly annoyed about them not getting all the records as I have been trying to get Medicaid(state insurance) for 6 months and they keep failing to correctly do things. I had a hearing and the ALJ reamed the representative out for not getting records and exams done and I just got another denial in the mail and they still didn't do what the ALJ told them to do. I can't afford my $820 COBRA, but for 1 more month. Between this and my SS stuff I feel like I am beating my head on a wall!
