SSI Update

I gave "Chris" my regular weekly call today in regards to an update for the SSI coverage.  This is insurance that is not income based for persons with special services.  Chris had informed me that Eva was denied coverage.  I can't even express how disappointed and heartbroken I am about their decision.  The process had started back at the end of December.  I filled out multiple amounts of paperwork, including doctors statements.  I hd made copies, used neighbors fax machines, mailed in more paperwork and talked to more "Chrises".  After Chris told me the news I had asked her the million dollar question - "Why?".  She then transfered me to one of the nurses on the review board.  The review board was the third step in this process (first being all the paperwork, second being denied by HHW which is income based).  The nurse stated that she was denied because the illnesses that she has had so far does not consistute her being "special".  I then explained that her diagnosis has many potential problems and has caused all of these medical issues.  She said 'sorry' but the decision had been made.  She did recommend me to get further research and documentation from doctors giving more information about C17 so I could appeal their decision and they could review it again. 

So now I have a new project, besdies my many daily duties.  I know and will give my most profound promise that Eva will get SSI somehow.  I will never give up until she recieves coverage.  I know that C17 is not common knowledge but will be more common after I complete my goal.   I know that technical advances will be in my favor.  And again, I KNOW she will get coverage!  My long journey just took detour but it will eventually get me back on the right road.
