Waiting In Texas

From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:
Linda King says diabetes and heart problems forced her to quit her office job and apply for disability benefits in January 2007. ...

Two years and five months later, she still waits.

King, who was initially turned down for benefits, is among more than 750,000 Americans trapped in a backlog of disputed Social Security disability claims. Applicants who seek an appeal hearing sometimes wait years for one.

  1. Too bad for her. Luckily, SSA is a great place to work. Hope that cheers her up, at least.
