After being denied, and seeing that the main condition for which I applied and some medical records, (which I had submitted) were not listed in the denial letter, I contacted SS in writing asking for a copy of my complete file. NO response. Again, I requested in writing, via Certified Mail, NO response. Again, wrote requesting copy of my complete file. Finally, a response. A letter saying they were enclosing a copy of my denial letter, and they included the medical records THEY had acquired, none of the ones I submitted. NOTHING else. I thought I was entitled to my "COMPLETE" file which they consistently refuse to give me. How am I to prepare for my hearing before the ALJ without it? I have since obtained an SS atty. I have no heard from him since our initial meeting authorizing him to represent me. I will be contacting him this week for any updates.

I don't believe they have a legal requirement to do the copying for you and mail it. Whether or not, the copies you gave them are in the file? Someone perhaps made a judgement call not to spend their time copying something they figure you already have. Or maybe, it truly was lost? Have you researched the grid rules? The standards for approval over age 55 are significantly lowered. |

Hopeless,
It's also easier if you start a new thread rather than adding bits onto other people's threads if you still actively need help, and that way it also doesn't derail the OP's thread. |

The company handling my SSDI claim is preparing a pretrial brief. I guess they use all the medical records and information they got from me. Write a brief and present it. The hope is that it will then get approved before/without a hearing. Has anyone had experience with this?

What am I entitled to in order to prepare for my ALJ hearing? The date has not been set yet and is months away due to backlog but I do not want to be unprepared due to lack of time. |

Hopefully, I will get the hang of this soon. Thanks for your advice. My apologies if I am not doing things correctly. Not only is my body getting OLD, my computer is old also, a desktop model, and NO wireless anything. Not only am I a bit antiquated, my technology is also. Thanks for your patience with me. (And your help.) |
