I am 50, crippled and homeless. I live near Oakland, CA. What are the chances a dire need letter will shave off a few months and especially, in this densely populated metropolitan area?

I went through the entire process with an attorney, neither he nor my congressman couldn't speed those people up , it's quite horrible and I suffered tremendous anguish myself over it. I was finally able to get a court date and received back money from the date of application and proved they don't follow there own guidelines. Your at the mercy of there disability determination people and they answer to no one ! If they are having a bad day or need to clear there cases because they are behind , they will turn you down. If you have been turned down though definitely see an attorney. They will take your case for a percentage not to exceed 25%. Good luck my friend and seek help where ever you can. Sorry I couldn't provide better news.

Also, their our other organizations that will assist you like Catholic Charities. If you are a Veteran of the Military, go over to Swords to Plowshares in San Francisco. They will help you also. 415-552-4788.
