I was injured at my place of employment and had 5 witnesses in court that this really did happen and have gone though 2 surgeries and have been getting worse over the years since this has happened with degenerative disc disease and arthritis setting in and it has been going on since 1990 and I have filed several appeals, but the last one my attorney messed up and didn't file the appeal on time so I lost my benefits in 1996 and have been appealing trying to get reinstated ever since. There is alot more involved with this but what I can't understand is how they can just keep dragging this out with all the evidence and medical history that I have built up over the years. I was approved for Social Security Disability in 1995 and have been getting monthly checks but I want this claim to get settled and they just keep coming up with things they say I or my attorney didn't do right. I don't know if it's the carrier just trying to drag it out as long as they can or my attorney that's been incompetent and misrepresenting me. I am at a loss and just tired of all the waiting and everybody keeps telling me to get another attorney and fire the one I have now. I was with this company for 20 years before this happened and the last time I went off work and stayed off after trying to work again, was in 1997 and after 2 years they sent me a letter saying I was no longer employed by them because I was off more than 2 years and that was their policy, even tho I still have a workers compensation claim open. I just want what I have coming to me, I'm only 47 and will be like this the rest of my life and I am very frustrated and depressed over this whole thing. I need some answers as to what my options are to getting this thing moving and over with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I Live in Pennsylvania.
