11. They take a percentage for the work I just submitted back to Social Security.

Before the last rejection, they didn't want relevant documentation clearly showing the evidence for the last 6 years. I have concluded that the first phase was them just stalling and making me jump through hoops, because they did nothing in their medical tests that would have given them any insight. They were actually upset so much was wrong with me and they ran out of room on their forms.

I have appealed that decision online and uploaded all relevant documentation to them as well, which clearly shows that I have kept trying against all odds and only got worse since 2012 with medical problems in all years. Why should I be penalized a percentage just for having a case file to get it approved, when I have already done all the work for the attorney, besides showing up and saying he is 'disabled' so that makes it a slam dunk.

On top of the chronic pain is at least 6 other diagnosed medical conditions, all with their own complications, with a well documented history of problems and me fighting to keep working as long as I have. Ask someone else who has been on the maximum dosage of Tramadol for 23 years if they just have a pain. The problem isn't having enough wrong, the problem is getting around their denial that someone has waited this long to finally claim it, so they aren't ready to actually accept a myriad of problems and complications all at once, because he didn't whine for it sooner.
