I have returned for one very last post, *admin edit*. At any rate, here's an absolute spike through the heart courtesy of one of these low life attorney's...

A brief recap, I have been denied at every level of the SSDI process for ten years now, including two ALJ hearings, I have lost everything I once owned, including familial support of any kind, I have just come through radical cystectomy, for aggressive stage three cancer of the bladder, I've had four kidney infections post surgery x three months requiring lengthy stays at the hospital. I am beyond broke, all utilities are months in arrears, I will be evicted in the spring, once the heating season comes to an official government sanctioned end. Toss into this chaos the fact that after ten years of no's, a federal magistrate ruled on my behalf against the evil thing that is the SSA, however not paying the claim, but remanding it back for a new hearing, a hearing that was to take place in April.

So, one last chance at securing my rightful benefits, good news right? The attorney representing me, had his aide de camp contact me last week, the reason to notify me of a recent development, it seems that my hearing had to be postponed due to a conflicting schedule, the attorney's aide de camp refused to inform me as to just who it was that introduced the conflict, SSA or the attorney? I immediately contacted ODAR and sought an explanation, the polite lady informed me that it HAD BEEN MY REPRESENTATIVE WHO HAD SOUGHT A POSTPONEMENT!!!

At no point was I apprised of the situation, let alone asked if I was good with his intention to eliminate my hearing date to suit his schedule, which by the way he'd had to have known about for months in advance! Here I am, absolutely desperate for an income, sure to lose my home in the spring(which he is well aware of by the way)and the parasitic attorney tossed me under the bus, and whats more, refused to inform that it was due to him and him alone!

I will be firing this lowlife the week of the amended hearing, I will simply represent myself, he knows this not, a small measure of payback, very, very small, but necessary nonetheless....Every attorney I've contracted with during this horrifying process has either lied, or proven themselves incompetent, one of them proving both dishonest & incompetent.
