Although I encourage feedback regarding services and professionals directly to me via email, I am going to post this comment here today, as it is an important point about remembering our position as consumers of services when choosing our advocates wisely. Ms. Heatherly mentioned an interest in writing about SSDI topics, but did not submit anything after this initial post. I continue to look for professionals in the Oregon disability services to be willing to share information and expertise to assist those in need of such support. Please refer names of anyone you would recommend and think they might be willing to be a part of our team.

I was a Disability Analyst for Social Security at their Disability Determination Services office in Salem Oregon. This is where the final decisions are made on SSD and SSI claims. I made decisions on claims where Ms. Heatherly represented the claimants. I found her to have very little understanding of the Social Security Disability and SSI process. The few times I had to speak to her about a claim, she was difficult to reach, would not return my calls and then when I did speak with her, was arrogant. She provided the wrong or unnecessary documentation for the claimants. Based on my experience, I came across some fabulous representatives, mainly the attorneys. These are the people who should be part of this blog. Ms. Heatherly promotes herself as a SSD/SSI specialist.
