      Unanswered
      I applied online over a year ago for disability. Someone from Gar advocate contacted me and asked more questions. I thought they were an agency working with *** until I got the email that I regrettably signed for them to represent me. I regret because I don't feel they are working to assist me efficiently. I've had appointments with specialist that had nothing to do with my reasons for needing disability. I had already went to 2 of these appointments by the time they called me to tell me about the one that they knew about which I already knew I had. I can't ever get in touch with them. Never know who my representative is. I was denied in January. I appealed and days later they called me saying they appealed. I've sent emails that may not have reached whom I trying to contact because I've never been given a name of my representative. I'm on 24 hr oxygen, have COPD, congestive heart failure and have to use a bipap machine to sleep. The setting on the bipap are higher than what people are on ventilators in hospitals. It's been 5 months since the appeal and no one has my case at the determination place. No one is fighting for me or they would have made sure I had someone. I found a lawyer willing to assist me but he can't until Gar revised themselves from my case. I read the complaints and even they revise themselves all of a sudden the case is inactive. Either I need someone willing to help with my case before I'm homeless or I need them to come off my case so I can get some one who will fight for me.
