hi,

The trick is sending your info with a signature request.
I tried that last month and had zero problems for a change.

> The news is very encouraging.  About 3/4 of all Blind Pension cases have

> your local county office or the toll free phone number.
> If you call the phone center  now with a specific question about your case 
> they are now supposed to try and connect you with a first responder to 
> immediately handle your problem If they cannot reach a first responder 
> than they will take your contact information.
> Shortly annual reviews will be sent out 60 days before they are due in

> By late Spring there should be a Robo Call system in place to notify you

> The only thing that we may not be successful in for the short term is
