Benefits Update!

A disability benefit update! We received the letters outlining Shawn's disability, still NO check! He will be receiving his first check on or around the 3rd of February (that is how they phrase it!). Still no word on when he will be receiving the monies that they owe him. I was told today when I called "it's still pending!"  While they are still "pending" life moves forward! We had been told Shawn would receive a check in January and that is most definitely not looking to be the case! I wish one of those offices could get it together and give us the information straight up! So for at least the next 6 days we are going to have to punt it! We are a bit aggravated with the whole thing! I wonder how any of them in their nice cushy office would like to hear they need to just wait until someone felt like paying them, could be up to four months or more! It has been agreed yes, Shawn is eligible, yes they owe him from October to December and they have given specific amounts, why can't they just print out and send a check all ready? And for those who have asked us if we explained our hardship to them, yes we have! Their response "our problem, not theirs!".  And if anyone is wondering what happened to January, seeing they owe us from October to December and the first benefit check is in February...February's check is January's check! And if you read the whole procedure of the disability run around in one of my earlier posts, let me update you; Shawn's file is back in Montgomery! We try to remind ourselves that after Shawn starts receiving the benefits and all the back monies are paid, we will be on track again! In the mean time.....Please, pray that we will be patient! And that will God will provide in the mean time! The pending back check owed can be sent out sooner than later, maybe just maybe God will open the doors to make it happen sooner! (God, maybe tomorrow!?) That is the update on the benefits!
