New Jersey-I recently received from SSA a form (Disabilty Form-Adult-form SSA-3368-BK) which contained a hand written notation on the margin-"Please complete this form with symptoms and medical treatment info from 1971-72. We are unable to find your original claim folder." Most, if not all of my treating doctors for that period of time are now dead. Who knows where their records are?! I was awarded SSA Disability benefits 30 yrs ago based on medical release forms which were signed by my parents as I was in my early 20's at the time and have never worked. I was examined by an SSA doctor at the time, who found me totally disabled and entitled to benefits. I also received an SSA form (omb No. 0960-0072 Report of Continuing Disability Interview). My Question is: Am I responsible for the information they lost? Will my benefits stop if I can not locate the info they misplaced? Is this like starting all over again?
