Hi, Rochelle. We are sorry to hear about your daughter&#039;s experience. Unfortunately, your daughter&#039;s situation is a bit more than we can handle in this forum. For her security, we do not have access to private information in this venue. We ask that members in our Blog community to continue to work with our offices with specific questions. You can call us at 1-800-772-1213, Monday through Friday, between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., for assistance. Generally, you will have a shorter wait if you call later in the day. You can also contact your local &lt;a href=&quot;https://secure.ssa.gov/ICON/main.jsp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Social Security office&lt;/a&gt;. You can ask for a manager on your next visit or call. If you wish to submit feedback related to your experience, visit our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ssa.gov/agency/contact/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Contact Social Security page&lt;/a&gt;.

We hope this is resolved soon.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Thats funny because my daughter who has Cerebral Palsy doesnt get treated with this type of respect or assistance. We got letter changing her SSI by over 180.00 with no explanation The office number listed is general number and you need name or extension in order to get somebody. The letter doesnt have a name or extension to remedy situation. She has no changes nor has she had an changes that would cause this to occur. The letter approving her for next year dated November 25 would lines what she is approved for based on a formal interview was not that long ago. Therefore, nothing changed how is that happening. Who knows , nobody returns calls, nobody can answer at general customer service line they direct back to local office. My daughter lives over 50 miles away to closest office. This is just horrible service and quality of care.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If I speak with a social security specialist and they are rude and disrespectful, who can I talk to? I&#039;ve always had good experiences, but there is one worker that was absolutely crude to me. Is there an ombudsman or other complaint avenue?]]></description>

Ugh, so sorry to hear that. Lyme is very common, untuyfonatelr, in my town. Whenever my kids get a headache the first thing I think of is Lymes. I don&#039;t know if you have a lot of ticks around your house (we do), but we ended up putting these tick tubes around the perimeter of our yard, which seemed to have helped a lot. Don&#039;t beat yourself up on not knowing...Lyme is really hard to catch because the symptoms vary so much and mimick other things.Hoping he feels better soon!]]></description>
