What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
My wife was turned down last year for SSI, (most are)...We re-applied, (got doctor to fill paper work out) after witnessing the beginning signs of crippling arthritis (she actually has two types)...Lawyer informed us this summer, we have a Sept hearing date. He had all necessary paper work, phone calls, updates for the hearing...
However, in early Sept, he writes us that another client out of state (unsure how this happened) recieved a hearing date the SAME DATE!!!! He told us, he will be or had sent a request to Hearing Judge for rescheduling. We are upset with this since we patiently waited a year for a second hearing.
He said a new hearing is rescheduling is accept by judge will be in 3 months. But this rescheduling notice as far as we know was submitted by him in early Sept. The hearing date is Sept 13!
WHAT WOULD THE MINIMUM TIME FOR A DISABILITY LAWYER to LEGALLY request a rescheduling of her hearing. Im not expert but I would think 30 days, NOT 2 WEEKS OR LESS.
We did get a confirmation letter from location of SSI for Sept 13 after the lawyer gave us a written notice in mail of his attempt to reschedule.
She has talk to lawyer on phone once, but unless the rescheduling is by phone or by mail, WE ARE STILL ATTENDING THE HEARING FOR SEPT 13. With or without lawyer and explain to judge or who ever about the situation.
However, my wife and I believe that we can win (with or without lawyer) when he sees how crippling her physical situation is.
