Cutting Through The Red Tape
A Los Lunas woman struggled for 3 years to get assistance, including Social Security Benefits, after suffering a severe bite from a brown recluse
spider. Because of the bite, both of Janice J.`s feet were amputated. Her pleas for help got bogged down in bureaucratic red tape, and Janice came to my office for help last year in securing her Social SecurityDisability benefits.
After her husband died, Janice was besieged with health problems that prevented her from working and resulted in the loss of her home. At age 44,
Janice, a former nurse, was forced to live out of her car. Friends of Janice`s, concerned with her situation, came to meet with me personally at one of our traveling office meetings in Los Lunas last Fall. They only wanted to see Janice get the help she needed, and shared their concerns with me. I was troubled that Janice, continued to be caught in this bureaucratic social security nightmare while her health deteriorated, and my staff got to work on Janice`s case. |
