Exclamation Social Security Disability Payment Center Delays? Where to turn?

I am new here. I am turning anywhere to get help. I live in Montana. I understand the processing goes through local offices, thus I posted that. I have been disabled since a fall at work in January of 2006. I was involved in legal matters until 2010. I received a negotiated settlement on my claim. At that time I filed for Disability and got approved on first try. They required an FCE. That may have helped. At the beginning, my payments were offset due to the settlement. The offset ran out as of March of this year, 2016. I was supposed to be receiving full benefits then. I was told they had all information they needed and that it was in the processing center for full auto deposit payments. As I have been getting my offset payments. The very last date the local office told me I would be receiving payments, including back payments, would be October. It is October 13th, I usually receive payments on the second Wednesday of each month. I checked today and not only has my payment not went in with the full amount, I have not received any payments last month, or this month. All my local office will do is leave message with the processing center to call me or send me a letter stating any updates or outcomes to my claim.This has been done for months, with no contact from them. The local people are as frustrated as I am. They all know me now. When I call, they even question why it has not gone through. They tell me "All I can do is leave them a message."

What do I do? I go from offset, to waiting for full amount for months now, to no payments at all. All with no contact from the processing center. Is there no way to talk to someone there? They tell me here no. I have to go through the middle man. What do I do? Get an attorney? I have no money. I cannot work. My wife is disabled. We are taking donations and relying on Montana SNAP assistance/food cards. Please. I feel in my situation, I should be fast tracked. I have -0- income. Someone please help. I am pulling my hair out in tears. Someone please tell me what to do. Thank you and God bless.

I went from workman's comp to full disability end of 2014(80% rule)....Sometime in August(2015) I got it straightened out!
I got the name of the person and her extension, which so very much helped! After 6 months she said I will escalate and look into this closely...
So I called her every 4 to 6 week, and left messages if she didnt answer.

An attorney isn't the right option. Contact your local Senator or Congressperson for help. Most have websites that will have a section for SSI/SSDI help.

Thank you for responding. I never thought of the Senator route. Good idea. If you know someone that can help, in Social Security, that is willing to work on it, please share! I am literally loosing hair here. The fact that all the Reps on the other end of the phone can do at SS is tell me that they can only leave the processing center a message to contact me. They say there is nothing else anyone can do. Why they are responding to all the messages to contact me I have no idea. It is a feeling of helplessness I have never known. There HAS to be some way to find out what the processing center is doing!?

Not sure what you even mean by an attorney?

Yes when you get a hold of someone at SS, get there name, be polite, ask for there extension so you can use the same person.....Make sure your dealing with your local SS office...

I agree.... Contact your local Senator or Congressperson for help.
Let them know there is a problem and what it is, and that you are in dire need , and keep contact with them until you get it resolved..

He asked if he should hire an attorney. It is possible to hire an attorney to help with CDR denials after approval, but it would inappropriate in this situation, IMO.

Default Update

*UPDATE*

I called a non-local number to see if anything different could be done. They assured me that the local office did everything anyone can do. Leave a message with the processing center. However, they did tell me that they see no correspondence in, or out of their office as to contacting me after all the messages. They told me that the reason I have not gotten payments at all the last 2 months is my account says differed. I have no idea what that means. I am writing my senator, Congressman, President, anyone I can. What do people do when they can not work, have no income, cannot access the money they have been paying in for years? My local Medicaid office is helping a lot. But it is not enough. I will keep you posted. Anyone know what differed means to SS? I know what the term means. but what do they mean?
