OT raising funds for treatment?

[Guest guest]

That's what I advised her to do (call her Congressperson & find atty).

Plus I'm hoping she can get the SS 99-2 letter ruling added to her SS file.

I sent her a copy to give to her advocate.

Can anybody recommend a good Social Security disability attorney in

the Chicago area?

Thanks...
