Thanks, Lori. Nope, I haven't gotten that check yet. I'm thinking that, because my case took so long to approve, Social Security is going to also take their sweet time sending me that check I've waited so long for. I impatiently check the mailbox every day instead of waiting for hubby to bring the mail home on his way home from work. (Our mailbox is down the road a ways, too far for me to walk to so I have to drive to it.) One of these days, I know you're gonna hear me when it's sitting in the mailbox waiting for me. I'm going to let out such a loud "YAA HOOOOO!!!" that everyone all over the world will hear me. I just hope they're not sending my old lawyers the money, first. They deserve absolutely nothing because they dumped me as a client as soon as I was denied after my first hearing with the judge. They did nothing at all to help me win this thing. If they do manage to get a hold of my money, I'll definitely be filing suit against them. The ONLY thing they did was cause me more anguish and postpone my approval. They were HORRIBLE! (This was Binder & Binder.) I had to threaten them with a lawsuit before they did anything at all! It took them 19 months to notify Social Security that they were my Attorney of Record! Man, was I ever angry at them! I still see red whenever one of their stupid commercials comes on TV. Right at the moment, though, I still have a hard time believing that I've been approved. I have to pull out the letter and read it again and again, just to make sure it isn't a dream.
