Hi !! I wanted to let you know that I have used Allsup and they have been wonderful. I really could not have asked for anyone better. They have been with me every step of the way. There're no stupid questions with them, I have recieved letters and or calls about every 45/60 days just stating that although there are no updates that they just want to let you know that they have not forgotten you and they are on top of things. After almost three years we finally WON !!! My representative was ready to go to the Federal level if necessary but we didn't have to.

My doctors took me out of work completely In February of 05. ( I had reduced hours over the years, used up all my FMLA and had history of Fibromyalgia ,a right knee and calf disorder, Asthma, migraines, right shoulder problems and depression) all that Hx for a post somewhere else I think. Anyways, with their help I filed in August of 05 , got a hearing August 31, 2006. Unfavorable descision on December 19, 2006. We appealed to the appeals council on January 9th 2007. On June 29th 2007 the Appeals council remanded the case back to a different Law Judge. The new hearing based on all the errors that were pointed out ( judge disreagarded SS doc's , all my docs, said I had a back injury and that I just needed an MRI UGGHHH ) was on November 29, 2007. I got a fully favorable descision on December 26, 2007 When all is said and done ( still waiting for $$ due to it being a remand case takes a little longer for the red tape) but as of this month I will get close to $50,000 . I will owe them $5,300. (Because thay are not lawyers only advocates SS can't pay them directly) They are great at what they do because they are ALL ex-ss workers. This gives them a definite advantage. Believe me you won't be sorry. They ask for no $$ upfront and they just said when the back pay comes thru to let them know...no pressure. Go Allsup !!!
I will keep an eye on your post and wish you much luck and patience.
