Get that back pay! Congratulations on them finally getting it right. They don't seem to do that too often.

Congratulations. BTW, one of the local boards, Human Rights Commission, which I am being considered for..would require me and other members of the board to decide the outcome of disability claims. I was very honest in telling local reps., 'IF I were to sit on the board, I would have to excuse myself from determining the outcome involving the disabled because I am very, very liberal in many of my beliefs and would more then likely, frequently rule in favor of the disabled.' I simply have a hard time denying somebody benefits, who have repeatedly been suffering soooooo much and I DO NOT want to compromise my integrity by failing to uphold the responsibilities and sworn duties of my position on the board.  |

Awww Brewer...not being snotty means you don't love me  Meebs...I was told the judge would issue an answer within 30 days after the hearing, but in the middle of me talking, he stands up & says..stop the hearing, I've heard enough...I got so scared & then he says I hereby declare you disabled & smiles at me...I wanted to dance on the table, but figured just sit still & shut up. ;D |

Tis waaaaaayyyyyyy too emotional of situations for me to be part of. I KNOW how people are hurting and ALL of the cutbacks that are being proposed. Tis why this victory of yours is truly well deserved and worth celebrating.   |

It's great that you can admit that Fran, but they don't use the "R" word anymore. Instead, the correct term is, "Developmentally Disabled." Oh you said, "retired." My bad. Congrats on getting everything settled. |

After all these years, they admit you should have disability. At least you will be able to use Medicare now, since it's been long enough since the date of your disability. That should help some.
