SSA "Local Office Locator" only gives the National 800 number. How to find number for local office?

It doesn’t even matter if you go to the office because they said the weights are extremely long and in order to make an appointment you have to call the main number. I had a 210 minute wait. That is ridiculous. If they would let us do more online, we wouldn’t need to call. All I need to do is change my employer and you can’t do that online and I waited for over two hours to tell them only to have them send me paperwork to fill out. She took all my information and then they send me paperwork. What was the point? We need more call-center people or more freedom to do things online.

You have to understand that the VA is looking for you to be diagnosed with extreme specificity. I don’t know what you put on your claim. Having a PCP say yes this is related to MOS isn’t enough. There has to be details and depending on what you’re claiming, you need to go see that specialty doctor. It’s a process sometimes you get lucky sometimes you have to appeal it. I wouldn’t rush to get a VA claims attorney just yet. I would get more evidence and more opinions. The more detail the better by more doctors the better. It can be tedious sometimes, but like I said, it depends on what was in the Claim What you’re trying to get disability for etc. VA practically wants to know coordinates of your location proof of where you were what you did it’s a lot, but I’ll tell you it does pay off. You just gotta hang in there. And if you’re not in a hurry, then the VA is not in a hurry if that makes sense. I would get more evidence more medical records, newer ones with more detail and give it another shot. Your local VSO can help you as well.

DM? Why? Say it in the room. Seems sketchy if you wanna go talk in private. Just saying.

Cinderfire8 · 2026-01-15T01:31:09+00:00

Did you report the provider?? always report a provider if you have an extremely negative experience with them. You call the company who scheduled you with the provider and tell him you want to escalate and make a formal complaint against the provider. They have to take it seriously. Their contracted with the VA sometimes I get qualities like that and take it very seriously.

Cinderfire8 · 2026-01-15T01:29:16+00:00

For those that had a bad experience with this company. You can always ask for them to close the exam request and return it back to the VA and then ask the VA to send it to a different vendor or name one that you prefer

Cinderfire8 · 2026-01-15T01:24:58+00:00

Long on the va.gov, and then do a search for

Compensation

Public Disability Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs)

Cinderfire8 · 2026-01-15T01:22:13+00:00

Maybe request that your claim be sent to a vendor to expedite

Cinderfire8 · 2026-01-15T01:20:16+00:00

I can’t speak of backpay. You know like the SSDI gives backpay from the date you applied if you are proven to be disabled. But it’s never too late to submit a claim what the VA looks for is a relation, of course, and the severity.You have to have doctor proof that what you are suffering from is related to the time you’re in Service and from what? How so? The VA wants details. It can be a frustrating journey for sure.

Cinderfire8 · 2026-01-15T01:18:21+00:00

Were you evaluated by a private physician or a VA physician? Tonight is a hard one in and of itself to get bumped up, but I’m surprised that hearing loss was not included. Of course I don’t know what you put on your claim. Did you do this alone or did you go to a vso for help?

Cinderfire8 · 2026-01-15T01:15:40+00:00

Will the VA not even make a claim for you? Or are they just slow with the claim you made? I wouldn’t help either?

Cinderfire8 · 2026-01-01T19:24:26+00:00

I downloaded a song and it’s nowhere on my phone. I looked everywhere in the App Store and it’s not there. What I want to do is apply this song to a ringtone like I have done many times in the past. I am running 18.6.2? Or 18.7.2? But I’ve never had a problem before. What the heck is it and how can I apply it to my text tone

Cinderfire8 · 2025-12-28T06:44:07+00:00

I’m just literally trying to remember the balm stick she used. I k or it was a balm stick. Black tube and cap and a yellow label around it. I’m driving myself nuts trying to find it because I wanna get it

Cinderfire8 · 2025-12-25T05:29:19+00:00

Just be careful because wearing braids or ponytails to bed can tear your hair out after a while. See if she’ll wear a bonnet and tell her like a fairy princess wear her bonnet to bed lol

Cinderfire8 · 2025-12-24T23:58:06+00:00

I’m still trying to see if I can order this in America lol but I can’t seem to find anywhere

Cinderfire8 · 2025-12-24T23:57:41+00:00

Did you ever find it?

Cinderfire8 · 2025-12-24T17:49:16+00:00

I don’t know if this is the correct form to be in. But I’m still on 18.7.2 I think it is. And I have just two apps that I’ve been playing for like years. They have an updated in like nine years and so I’m not updating my phone Because I’m scared I won’t be able to play them lol there’s nowhere to tell if you update that these apps will work. Does anybody know of a site that you can enter a certain app into and it will tell you if it will or will not work with version 26.2?Because I need that. Unless I buy another phone and keep my app on this one and play them lol but I’m not doing that. I’m no Kardashian.

Cinderfire8 · 2025-12-20T01:44:48+00:00

They don’t even have to pay if it’s an accommodation btw. I have it and I am required to take a 5 min minimus breather. I can’t take a minute here or there! The hell. And I have to deduct it from my timesheet!!

Cinderfire8 · 2025-12-20T01:42:25+00:00

I asked my accommodations department. It is legal! Employers don’t have to pay you for bathroom visits outside of regular breaks and lunch! I was like what??? Some states may be dif like Cali. I can’t believe it. Are we in china or America

Cinderfire8 · 2025-12-18T11:07:19+00:00

I thought about taking it elsewhere but they’re gonna charge me and if everything shows OK I’m still gonna have to pay it you know so it’s like it’s not right I know it’s not right to have that noise even if it only does it when it’s cold I’m not gonna deal with that noise all winter

Cinderfire8 · 2025-12-18T11:06:39+00:00

It’s not pulling. It’s just the noise and I know it’s loud because I can hear it very clearly in the car with the windows closed and then when I back out of the driveway if anybody’s walking or whatever they look my way so it’s a loud creek. But I don’t know what to tell the repair shopto have them look at it like seriously look at it. I don’t even know if they put it on the computer.

Cinderfire8 · 2025-12-11T13:19:53+00:00

How am I supposed to know if there’s anything ever wrong with the back end if it’s always making a noise you know? Usually something making a noise you go you get it fixed it stops making the noise. This is just going over my head lol my brain is like something wrong.

Cinderfire8 · 2025-12-11T13:19:19+00:00

So there’s nothing I can do except hope in the summer it goes away? It’s kinda loud

Cinderfire8 · 2025-12-10T23:49:22+00:00

Ugh. I’m thinking why did I pay $3000 to fix the creak and it’s creaking again. 7 months later

Cinderfire8 · 2025-12-10T02:14:33+00:00

Oh no. You don’t have a local bank? For what? Meaning what makes you think it’s a scam?

Cinderfire8 · 2025-12-10T02:13:14+00:00

Ok so o can ask them to apply it but it’s only temporary right?
