Re: Disability advocate

[Guest guest]

I too had an advocate that turned my nightmare of applications and denials into relief as she took my case straight to the law judge without asking for a penny. Shortly after that they made it a law that you had to sue for disability. I had to pay back state aid from my award back then in 96 but I was one very lucky person who had a lawyer who had RA and helped me when I needed it most. Nobody does things out of the goodness of their heart these days, but a fee for services only.

Perhaps some of you may be interested in an article on the passing of a Berkeley (Ca) disability advocate and political figure who had rheumatoid arthritis.

She was devoted to the poor and disabled, and was a very popular person in the Berkeley community.
