Hey TC. Thanks for checking up. I DM'd Told with a congratulatory message....that's awesome.

I only had a few days so I appealed to the Advisory Council on my own. I spent all 3 days writing a 5 page letter, bypassing my attorneys. Just mailed it to the council and CC'd my attorneys.

I know it wasn't the best move, but I did get my dr to fill out an RFC which I also included. I spelled out each error that the judge had made and pointed where to find it(and included that).

I'm hoping for a miracle I guess. I'll go to federal appeals court if I have to if I'm not at least sort of better in a year. They had informed me that they had 2 to 14 months to decide if I get another hearing.

I guess the squeaky wheel gets the grease. A lesson for anyone going through this process: It doesn't pay to be stoic. Also be organized and don't try to do everything yourself.

So glad to hear you sent in the letter, droid.

Sounds like you absolutely made the right move. Kudos! I know it's hard to deal with red tape when you're sick.

I'm hoping for the best for you...which is:complete, total healing AND a favorable decision from the original application date...with all the backpay owed you... for a nice vacation. [Wink]

Thanks a lot AG. There's a reality show where the kids are born into SS because their parents set them up for it, abusing it on national television. It's a lifestyle. I don't get it.

My vacation will be inside a soft HBOT chamber, a rife machine, and a few other things to get me back to work.

I appreciate the support and motivation to still fight for myself.
