11/1/2023 This was my comments I submitted on the free case evaluation form. Hello Ma'am, I'm Michael A Anderson who lives home alone, who's currently a retired 100% 61-year-old disable veteran. Also currently employed, working 40hrs a week. Don't know if I jumped too far into this, I thought SSA was going to drag this out til March or April 2024, but in October 2023 I applied for SSI. on 10/21/23 I received my denial notice through the mail. They informed me I make too much money, over $3k. On 10/26/23 I received a denial notice for Retirement Survivors and Disability Insurance. They informed me the same about making too much money and said that they only looked at my work not my health. My employment is at the VA Hospital in Temple, TX. I've been working there for over 9 yrs. Next year 3/11/24 I'll turn 62, this is when I'll be retiring at the end of march or the first week of April 2024. VA HR said that's when I should retire. Sorry, but this is how I feel. I'm frustrated, tired and really looking forward to this my mind and body aches. Yes, I may make too much money, I do have health issues that's over 12 months of severe illness and injuries that I'v been dealing with after Iraq 2017 in which they'r progressing for the worse. This's why I'm retiring next year so I can take care of my mind and body for longevity, because it will not last past 62 years. I know I'll need to submit documents of my medical files. Want to know what my chances are of receiving SSDI while receiving 100% VA disability? Do I appeal SSA decision or let it expire and start over until after I retire from my employment? TY. Mr. Anderson, Michael A. This's my feedback from my free case evaluation. 11/02/2023. (SO MUCH FOR 2nd CHANCE LAWYER). FEEDBACK from my free case evaluation, I give it a thumbs down one star. I'm very disappointed. While at work I seen Ms. Attorney Merryl Jones commercial, I got very excited and said finally the disabled Vets got someone on their side, boy was I wrong, It's all about that mighty $. I feel as though they were biased. I went online and submitted a free case evaluation form to get an appointment to be seen, they did it the unprofessional way her staff members called me instead of properly professionally acknowledging my case request. There was no appointment schedule, they called me wanting me to talk on the phone for me to repeat myself; like spell my name, what's so hard on spelling Michael Anderson, phone number, what city I'm calling from, what's my address and all this info was on my free case eval, this made me feel uncomfortable, almost like I was bothering them. What are they really doing? There was no proper protocol. Their actions showed unprofessional misconduct. They never asked for proof of documents of my issues only went by word of mouth. Never sent me notice of decision from there office, they verbally denied me over the phone and agreed with SSA on me making too much money, they really didn't acknowledge me as a real client never took me seriously, basically blew me off like I was a nobody, that's one thing you don't due, blow off a disabled Veterans in need. Never spoke further about me retiring in 2024, never got into details about my health, they never look forward to me being a client. They never said after retiring give us a call very unprofessional. They weren't engage about my issues. I will let other Veterans know my experience with second chance lawyer. The door was slammed in my face, I never got to first base.

You've seen the ads where she says that she will be honored to take your case if you have been previously denied for social security benefits...well that may be true if you have a simple case where there is no more work to put into it. My friend was denied her benefits and tried this place...yeah well she was told that they would not take the case because there was no way that they could work it...meaning too much work for them to put into it for the piddly amount of money they would get. Luckily we looked further into other lawyers and found one that would take her case. I would never recommend this lawyer to anyone. read more
