Took me 9 months to realize my evidence was going to the wrong office
So I've been fighting my SSDI appeal since March, sending every piece of medical proof, doctor notes, and test results to the address on the initial denial letter. Last week I called the 800 number to check on my status and the lady says, 'Sir, that office stopped handling appeals in January.' I was floored. I had mailed about 14 packets of stuff to a dead office, including a nerve conduction study from my neurologist in Cleveland that probably would've helped my case. The only reason I found out was because I asked for a fax confirmation and she got quiet. Now I have to resubmit everything to the hearing office in Columbus and my timeline is totally shot. Has anyone else sent paperwork to the wrong place and had to restart the whole process? How long did that set you back?
