My social security claims themselves went through quickly and smoothly It was the side issues - like the cancellation of my bereavement benefits - that caused most problems. But the actual claims, thanks to careful preparations based on advice and suggestions from members of this list - to whom i shall be eternally grateful- went through quite smoothly and painlessly. THanks especially to Janet Paterson, who typed up and rearranged my list of symptoms, and to the people who advised me to be sure and be in an 'off' phase each time i was interviewed - but to take someone with me and especial thanks to my friend Anne who served as that person - the worlds best patients advocate, imho, who reminded me to take off my shoes and socks, so that the first thing the doctor would see on entering the examining room would be my poor twisted dystonic and amantadine-discoloured feet! And dont forget first Dan and then David from Sen Warner's office, who helped smooth the way - and whom i would never have met if i hadn't have gone seeking support for the funding of the Udall 'Bill!
