Justice vs Power

Oh Happy Day

For those who do & don't know what we have been up against for 3 years
regarding my wife Michelle & her failing health from a work related accident that evolved into open heart surgery in 2001 ,today Michelle is one happy Lady.

Here's what happened.
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=122102

I Just got off the phone with the " People in charge " of Michelle's Medical case regarding their decision of whether they are liable or not for Michelle's Financial compensation, for being injured at work Jan 2001.

Their decision is that they ARE liable & will be making sure she receives compensation from November 2001 to present day.

This was a heck of a situation to get though & I was getting quite tired of discussing this with beaurocrats.

Justice against Power.

Justice has been served.

This means we don't have to eat just Rice, KD, Hamburger & Oatmeal anymore.

Fantastic, Dennis - I can't even imagine what you and Michelle have gone thru the last 3 years. Like you said, justice was served - late, but at least it was served.

I just checked my Lottery ticket for last Friday's Super 7 draw.
I won $10.00.

Now, if I could only find my shoe box full of rolled USD pennies.

Great to hear!!!!! HAve you checked into Social Security Disablity for her?

I was medically retired form the Army in 1998. I worked for six months after that and tried retraining etc. Well my VA Disability Compensation has been enough I can live ok on it. Not great mind you but ok.

I was told to apply for SSD, I did and of course have been turned down twice and hired a lawyer, the lawyer says he would not take my case if he could not win it.

Since we have filed the appeal for hearing, I have had a heart attack and even more health problems. Good news for the case! but not my health.

I will get a SSD settlement of monthly payments and about $50,000 before the lawyers 25%. The monthly will be tax free and it will help.

Newer PSD F-250-350 hopefully

Call your local Social Security Office today!!!!!

Best wishes
