This is another interesting part of this..I was actually approved back on 9/23/10 and was not advised about it..I was told that every once in awhile files are 'audited' not for our information but that our files were done correctly but the government and guess who's got pulled..Yup, mine..makes me feel good however as no doubt no mistakes made on my numbers in the process..it's all good..

I can't thank you all enough for sticking by me and sharing such happy feelings with me..Iam touched by each and everyone one of your notes and I reply to each of you with a huge thank you and a appreciative hug.. you're right and the timing of this was so nice with my sad heart for my Mom and all....it really lifts my heart..above the clouds!! You are all very special to me..

Much love, Kathy

Reading your post I just don't understand why your employer is getting involved with your filing of Federal SSD Beneftis. Do you have a case worker at the Social Security Office in your area, where your claim is being handled? I would question some of the goings on with Allsop, I quess that's the company you previously worked for? As far as I know all companies have to carry "short term disability" either through a private insurer or through there state. Once a detemination is made that the person can no longer work then a claim is processed there the Federal Social Security Administration, SSD. So, I wonder why is a private company getting involved with your claim, it's really a conflict of interest?? Kathy, I'm just looking out for you. I would call my case worker and question it.

Allsup is a group hired by my previous employer to assist me in applying for SSD (saves the legal help). Once I had hit LTD with my company, they hire this group to guide me in applying for SSD..This in the long run helps put my employer..as once approval for SSD is done..this takes a large financial burden (some) off my previous employer..it's offset/supplemental to LTD..and every company has different private policys... I am blessed as my previous employer, a very large company.. I was there 25 yrs and have fantastic benefits... exp. life time healthcare for myself (and family..children until age 26).. and my husband has survivor benefits...I have lost very little pay while out..on and on..Just wish it didn't have to be this way..I so miss my life there!

Hugz, Kathy
