I really wish I would have had more patience and just waited out this disability decision. I worked in a medical office for over 15 years and filled out information for these claims. After hiring this firm, I found out that they had requested records and didn't get them because there was a fee. They never notified me of it or I would have paid for it months before I did....important records from my neurologist!! I finally contacted a state rep that is giving me help and keeping me informed.
