I’m only writing this because if anyone else happens to go through this, you’ll know what to do sooner.
Can you believe I went out of work on disability for anxiety and depression in November. I only planned to be out a month. However, my depression and anxiety worsened due to being homeless and still dealing with a Domestic Violence situation. Not to mention medical issues, other than the depression and anxiety.
It is now coming up on May and I have yet to get a Disability check. They claim their fax is backed up and have not received my Drs side of the paperwork which my doctor has faxed three separate times and physically mailed this last time.
As most of you know with the project I worked on most recently that Ive been working closely with ChatGPT, who advised me to contact my local representatives.
It never occurred to me to do so, honestly, I had no idea who they even were.
However, I googled my town’s representatives, went to their website and filled out their form requesting a call back.
Guess what happens.
I once again was lost in the shuffle.
I feel like the universe is just against me.
However, thankfully not for too long. Only a week. I received an email with an apology yesterday stating just that .. I was lost in the shuffle.
Anyway, I spoke to someone else in the legislative office who was very nice and very helpful and will hopefully get the ball rolling. I should’ve called them months ago.
So the moral of the story is… if you ever find yourself having difficulties dealing with any government agency call your local representative they are there to help. They can escalate things when need be.
