I take it that is who you have used?, I guess they are sending me forms also

to have my

dr's fill out, so that is all we are involved with them and the rest is done

by them? It does not seem fair though that we have to possible wait 2 yrs from

denial? That is a long time to go without income, I am begining to worry what I

am going to do until my husband get's back to his offshore scalloping, which is

not until end of April this yr, and if we keep up with this weather may be later

this yr. I know you have it worse than me being single, I hope yours comes

through quick! Take Care and hope your illness is getting better.

Binder and Binder does everything for you. You talk to them over the

phone; they do the forms and send them to you for signature.... that's about it.

They take it from there.

That's what everyone had told me so you can imagine my shock when I

was declared disabled the last day I worked in 2004 -- I filed in

2006 and received the letter from them in March, 2007 and I was

certain from the lines above the fold that I had been denied, but

Gosh! My doctors, the records, the spinal xrays, something must have

proved to them that I was disabled and I did get back pay to Sept.

2005 since I hadn't filed earlier. Don't know how that happened and

most people have been shocked. All I can say is that Allsup must

have really played the game well with the adjudicator --- when they

asked the same question on the inital form multiple times, the

representative from Allsup caught it and just cut and pasted the

previous answer. I only really spoke to the adjudicator 2 times,

first time I told him to call Allsup and second time I told him where

I had had xrays of my spine done (they must have been so bad that he

decided he didn't want to put up with me and Allsup any more) And I

had been just certain that I had mouthed off to the psychologist they

sent me to that he would have said I was very competent.

I do think it would be interesting to find out how they reached their

decision so fast.
