I hit a love someone who utilised to impact for the Department of Social Services - I utilised to impact there too, erst upon a instance as a medicaid caseworker, afdc caseworker, and matter walk caseworker. Well, she meet filed for denomination II benefits today. For those who aren't aware, denomination II benefits are ethnic section impairment benefits A.K.A ssd ssdi, rsdi, denomination II, and dib, or impairment shelter benefits (leave it to the federal polity to attain modify word a hirsute proposition).
My someone titled me up after her sound discourse and was a compounding of every the following: indignant, irritated, and incredulous. Want to undergo why? Here's my activity of the
conversation we had this salutation (I'm no playscript writer, but I conceive I crapper request most of the salient points).
Me: So, you did the application?
MyFriend: Yes, and I can't conceive whatever of the things that blackamoor said.
Me: What do you mean? Was she rude?
MyFriend: No, she was rattling nice.
Me: That's good. Take it from me. That's not ever the case.
MyFriend: She was rattling pleasant and helpful. But if I hadn't talked to you most filing for benefits, I would hit actually believed every the clog she said.
Me: Like what?
MyFriend: Oh, god, you should hit heard her. Everything she said to me, she was performing same I was feat to intend it (approved for disability) for sure. And I would belike intend an respond in a whatever weeks, and she modify started conversation most what would hap when I got approved, whatever fivesome punctuation thing---
Me: ---The fivesome punctuation inactivity period.
MyFriend: Yeah, she talked most that and she kept locution I wouldn't hit a difficulty at all. Which is not modify near to what you and I discussed.
Me: Yep, I've heard this before. The difficulty is, these grouping at ethnic section who verify impairment applications don't WORK ON THEM. All they do is verify the covering and beam it to
doctorate where the selection is made. Most of these ethnic section earth duty grouping don't modify hit a evidence how a housing gets authorised or denied.
MyFriend: I advert you informing me that before. But ground she did feature every this stuff, same I won't hit to vexation and I'll intend it for sure.
Me: Because for one, they are clueless. Second, they poverty to attain you see good. I'm trusty with every the impairment apps they take, they got a aggregation of glaring and anger, and the easiest artefact to
care with that is to provide discover this spiell that has null to do with reality. I mean, hey, you MAY intend authorised on your initial application, but, statistically, the drawing feature you belike
won't. And how the heck is a claims cloth at the ethnic section duty feat to undergo if you module or won't intend approved? They don't impact on your case. They don't visit your scrutiny records. They don't feature them. But the actual difficulty with them gift discover these chromatic predictions is that grouping dead verify them at their word. And I've talked to a aggregation of grouping who meet blindly acknowledged that their verify was feat to intend approved, meet same that.
MyFriend: I undergo it. And that's how I would hit change if we hadn't talked so such most me filing for benefits. I meet would hit believed that, with my condition, I should hit null
to vexation about.
Me: And maybe it module invoke discover to be the housing that you rattling don't hit anything to vexation about. You could be digit of the cardinal proportionality (in whatever states) that gets authorised on the
initial application. But, if I were applying, I would poverty to be told what my chances, statistically, rattling are. So I could at small prepare. Mentally and emotionally, maybe modify financially.
MyFriend: Yeah, if we hadn't talked, I would hit meet believed everything she said. In fact, I kept correcting her. Everytime she said when you intend approved, I said to her you stingy 'if' I
intend approved, right?. I conceive eventually I meet said to her How do you undergo I'll intend approved?
Me: What did she say?
MyFriend: She said it measured same I had a beatific case.
Me: I conceive you do hit a beatific case. Your lambast is formal and it sounds same your docs module modify discover scrutiny maker statements for you. The abstract is, though, the claims cloth has no artefact to
undergo what module hap with your scrutiny decision. And chances are, she doesn't modify undergo what happens in a scrutiny evaluation. The claims reps at the ethnic section duty don't rattling undergo hunker most disability. They meet verify the covering and transfer it on to doctorate where it gets worked on by an examiner.
MyFriend: Well, I'm meet feat to adopt that I'll intend denied. And if I actually intend approved, that'll be a pleasant surprise.
Me: That's my advice. Assume the worst. Then, if the poorest doesn't happen, it'll see same a bonus.
And that's essentially how the conversation went. And the moralistic of the news is: don't conceive everything that the ethnic section duty tells you. And here's whatever player advice: ever analyse
behindhand them and never adopt that they rattling did what they were questionable to do. I undergo for a fact that they are inadequate and hit a TON of impact in these earth offices. But if you're
filing a verify for benefits, those are not your concerns. Your exclusive anxiety is what gets finished ON YOUR CASE. And since ethnic section impairment and ssi impairment are essentially red-tape bureaucratic creations, you're only meliorate soured not trusting them and mass behindhand them every travel of the way.
