I have reviewed this and revisited this over and over in my head. I did email my attorney on Friday to tell her that I want her to represent me.
I do try to be a fair person. I worked for S o ci al Se c uri ty. Dealt with Sup plem en ta l Se sur i t y In co m e. Words are split for a reason. I have always tried to do a computation for another persons benefit. I know, not many people like to go to that office, or to deal with them. I really don't blame anyone for that. I worked there. I do know how many people get scr ewed. I was never one of those. I always got enough info from the beginning so if a person got irate, and had to be escorted out, that I could still check out whether or not they had a valid claim. I still tried to help them out. A lot of gov workers just feel like, just get them away from my desk. It's not who I am. I really need to research if they are entitled to more, and many times I found out that they were.
I remember being really bored once. My work was all done. It wasn't in my job description to do folder shipment. That was clerical work. I did it anyway. I had to take unnecessary things out of the file so we can ship it out. I actually did read some of the determinations, and found a claim that was wrongfully denied to the tune of $80,000. I couldn't let it go, claim was denied 4 years ago and the wrong computation was used. The person was blind. It changed the computation.
This is how bad I am about morals. I could have just shipped that folder. She never questioned the decision. It was a closed case to never be looked at again.
This is all alien territory for me. I may need a lot of help her dealing with technically right, vrs morally right. I do plan to pursue this issue, but it is mostly so that he backs off of me, and doesn't try to bully me.
