Federal Disability Part 3

We got good news today.

Ms. Thompson called and Satomi’s federal Disability Claim was approved and in record time.

Think about it for a minute:  I submitted the initial application on March 18th (or something like that) but I didn’t finish the online Medical History report until April 2nd.  We submitted hard copies of her records on April 13th.  All-in-all, my work took almost 4 weeks to complete.

The SSA review and approval process began on April 2nd and was completed by April 21st.  Their part took less than 3 weeks!  I took longer to compose the information than it took them to approve it.  This is nothing like the nightmare the State Unemployment Office described.  Nice!

I guess this one of the few times that my psycho anal-retentive detailing was an asset.  I’m really glad that I spent all of those hours on it.  One less thing to worry about.
