Jan is right. My denials all came from the state's DDS, (Disability Determination Services). A bunch of yayhoos, in my opinion. In one of their denial letters, they did not list my neurologist's statements. Only visits to other doctors that had nothing to do with MS.
Seemed like they had 'selective' reading. I finally 'lawyered up', and won at the ALJ hearing. It's truly a shame that it has to get to this level.

![]() It's not like lawyers have expenses like malpractice insurance, office supplies, payroll expenses, rent, legal research costs, or other expenses, right? They get all that for free--just because they're lawyers, right? They obviously don't deserve to be reimbursed for money they've advanced for a case. And they probably don't deserve a fee on top of the money they've advanced for a case too. <sigh> There ARE cases where an attorney will not charge you expenses OR a fee. Sometimes lawyers do pro bono work, which is great. But attorneys who handle contingency cases cannot afford to put out lots of $$ for expenses for cases they aren't certain they're going to get a fee in. And there's always legal aid where they don't charge you a fee--IF they have the staff to handle Social Security disability cases and IF you meet the income guidelines for their program.
