What is the name of your state? Maryland
I had a telephone appointment to file for my autistic child, they told me to be ready for the call 15 minutes prior to the time. I work nights, but was ready with the paperwork and all 20 minutes prior to the call time, until 15 minutes after it, at which time I gave up on them calling me that day and went to bed. When I got up several hours later, there was a message on the answering machine that -I- missed the appointment, and would have to start the process all over again. I have also received a letter stating they denied me because I missed the appointment.
THEY are the ones who did not call, will their screw up afffect appeals/applications in the future?
Additional question - my husband is active duty military, and they do not let us handle the medical records...how then do I get the information for my appointment?
