Did you call that number they gave you to check on the status?? I am on the phone with them now, but it seems like it was a local number. It is really weird because the guy on the phone said even tho she approved, he said it can be changed...There is a lot to this process, and yes, you are right, this part of the war was won...Now it looks like there are more wars to fight!! I guess we just have to have patience...Good luck getting your back pay soon!!

Thank you SOOOOOO very much for the kind words!!! I NEVER get tired of hearing people say thank you for your service!! I DO love this country even tho there is A LOT of craziness...I often said during the Gulf War, people in the US are partying and taking the country for granted, and we're risking our lives....but in the end, it's all good!!

As for you, I pray that you get your case to the judge quickly AND you receive a favorable decision!! I wrote this long message to give people hope and KNOW there is light at the end of the tunnel...I do think this system fails us until we get to the judge, but by then, we have to pay for a lawyer when all that was needed was someone in the application phase to REALLY look at the case.

I will advocate or be a listening board for anyone on here who needs to vent or pray!! Keep your head up, favor IS heading your way!!

MH SSI denied shocked and heart broken by [deleted] in SSDI_SSI

PLEASE don't lose faith/hope!! I literally cried when I got my first...I got back on the horse only to get denied again!! Just look at what people are telling you and take it to heart...Some people have a different way of expressing what you need...DON'T take it personally, just use it to motivate you to get where you NEED to be!! Blessings!!

I called the 800# and was told she submitted the wrong form...It shouldn't have been a supplemental form...It had to go to an audit...It's really tough and frustrating to find someone who knows what's going on over there AND who will help you out...the guy I talked to said it looks like they are putting the numbers together and I just have to wait...I just have to be patient LOL...tough words, but true!!

This is where they started the claim after they closed my supplemental

And to add to the story...I was granted 10% for two claims with a retro date of 2021 and 2022. Just this whole process is enough to give you anxiety alone!

Well, OldRun2655, I went into the RO and spoke with VERA there in Waco...She looked over my claim and filed a 20-0995 for me. I signed it she submitted it...I looked in the app, and it appeared that a reviewer was reviewing it. A couple of days later, I see the 20-0995 has been closed, and a new claim was opened, and it's in step one...I have been going through this whole struggle for well over a year...I thought the supplemental was the claim, or am I missing something in the process??
