That's what the paper said, but I don't get anything NEAR that. I think it's a print error, as this paper came from back in 2006, and they aren't paying me what I should get with only $700 a month now. They're so screwed up like we've been saying. I DO know that I paid in enough to, I believe, make it more than $700, but no where near $2740. Somewhere in between would be nice, but no matter what i've asked or said, they say it's this or nothing. Can't argue with the government or they'll take everything away. |

Tim, Take a look at that last SS statement. There should be a line that reads "What you would receive per month if you became totally disabled today." That number should be close to the same as you would receive had you worked at your then current income factoring in raises for inflation until age 65. SSD is an insurance policy that you paid for and have the right to collect. I cannot understand why you are on SSD but receive an SSI income. Did you have an attorney? This does not make sense. One thing that I can say for a fact is that the person who truly has your best interest in mind is you. Log on the the SS website and read about SSD.Educate yourself and do not completyely rely on an "expert" (attorney). It apprears that a mistake was made and you need to correct it. If you didn't have an SS attorney they work for no money up front. If you win an award the attorney receives $5% or a max of $7500 (I think that this is the new amount it used to be $5000). Additionally if it is found that you are not receiving the correct monthly amount SSD will back pay you with interest for up to, I believe, a max of 4 years. |

Maybe it's not called SSD. The check says Social Security/Disability on it. I didn't use a lawyer, either. I'll look into it further, though, since you said this. I didn't know all of this. Bad thing...it's probably too late anyway. Thanks though. |

Tim, Actually it isn't too late. The only limit that you have is the 4 years back pay plus interest. If you want I would be glad to look at your last SS statement, scan it and send it to my email address but black out your SS number, and give you my opinion. Good luck... |

I have an appt to talk to the SS office in the morning and maybe we can figure these things out. I'm gonna bring my last paper with the amount listed and see if there might have been a filing error and MAKE them look at it in case they just overlooked or ignored it or were too lazy....you know how people can be that way in their jobs they think they are a big shot at....lol |

A philosophy of personal responsibility and a belief that we create our own reality. Of a passionate moment to moment existence. Works flawlessly for me. I realize how I live and what I believe is at odds with a liberal dependence mentality and a belief that life just happens to people, therefore blame and responsibility belongs out there, and the government exists to feed, clothe, shelter and nurture the helpless non actualized resident, whether legally here or not. Carry on and enjoy the life of a slave. |

Us sane people don't consider ourselves slaves. We are realists who recognize that life is not all about ourselves. If you choose to live your life that way, I feel very sorry for you. You must be one miserable so and so. |

Tim, If you cannot work this out on your own find a competent SS attorney. The best way to do this is to talk with former clents. Many of these attornies take as many cases as they can and figure that, like throwing mud against a wall, some of them will stick without any effort on their part. |
