I gave my lawyer the print out but I don't know if she did anything with it or if the judge had it.

This change in the SSD Blue Book policy is very important to your case. If I were you, I would check with your lawyer and ask him/her if they brought this new policy to the judges attention.
This policy change has a date 9/15/2005 so it is new and it was after we (UBPN) were invited to the meeting regarding SSD and the Blue Book changes. It was supposed to make life easier for bpi injured to obtain SSD.

If the lawyer did not ask the lawyer to contact the judge or start and appeal based on this policy change.

Good Luck

To find your representatives go here: www.house.gov and www.senate.gov For the House of Representatives, you just put in your zip code in the box on the top left. For the Senate, go to the top right and click where it says "Find your senators. Then scroll to your state. Then click the "go" box right next to the scroll box. You have one member of the House of Representatives and two Senators. Each Member of Congress has offices that are in your state as well as in Washington. These are called district offices and they will be a local number for you to call, also, generally, they will be the correct offices to help you handle a personal issue. When you search your representatives, their websites will show up and when you click on the links, then find the "contact" part of the website that will tell you what the correct phone numbers are.

my lawyer dropped me. Can I cry now? i want to give up so bad. I just don't know that I have the strength to do this.

Christina,
Please don't give up!...We all support you and will hold you up.

I'm praying for you...Take a break, then pick up the fight again.

HUGS,

I am so sorry to hear your lawyer dropped you.

Perhaps he was not such a good lawyer since he lost... and it seems as if he is not interested in winning....
What a shame
We are all here for you and when you are rested begin your fight again... Don't give up!

When Brandon was little we got dropped by our attorney, I was devastated. But then we found another attorney, who was a woman, she had a step grandchild with OBPI that resolved without surgery. The moral of the story is we won our case..........and to this day 5 years later.....we still are really good friends. She has done so much for us as a family....sometimes, you are better off.....GAYLE
