Billie, I have been fighting them as well. I MAY be on to something, basically I am trying to conduct a CLASS ACTION suit against Social Security. I am keeping the basis of my argument to myself until I have an attorney. Currently only 1 office looked into it and later said no. But, I have another looking at it. I will need to communicate with many others once I have an office assisting me. Don’t give up, never stop fighting. Nick

Thank you for all your helpful information posted here. Here alone , would cost at least
a couple of hours of attorney's fees. I'm especially excited about the the fact that fighting S.S. quote — Is NOT impossible unquote. ( I am in my 9th year of fighting an overpayment that THEY caused , and that I believed was correct , because I “assumed” the social security administration knew what they were doing … turns out , I was very wrong. It is very hard if not impossible it seems to find anyone to take this on .. I am forced to go through legal aid.

when you hire an attorney for a Social Security case, if you pay a retainer toward fees, the attorney can never take fees out of that retainer unless Social Security approves the fees. You will know if Social Security has approved any fees because they will send you a letter, usually anywhere from 1 to 6 months after the case ends, telling what fees, if any, they have approved for the attorney.
