I requested my SSDI file so I could file a copy with my TDIU claim.
They called yesterday and said it was ready, I could come pick it up anytime.
Then they informed me the charge was $94.30 to be paid via check only.
So today I am going to go pay a rediculous amount to get a file that I should have been able to get for free.
All just so I can file for TDIU because the VA still hasn't fixed my rating and that appears the only way I have a chance at 100% for now.
This whole SSDI file thing is a sham to me.
I informed them when I first called them that I wished to obtain a copy of my file for VA purposes and they said since I wasn't going to use my file for an approved purpose there would be a small charge to obtain it.
I asked them what the approved reason would be and they wouldn't tell me.
So I said ok fine I still need a copy of my file and then they asked me why I didn't request it from a different office instead of theirs.
I told them because they were 15 minutes from my house.
He mumbled something and said he would order the file and call me with the charge.
I called them after a few weeks and was told he was out with the flu but that he had the file so it would be soon, they also informed me this gem of a guy was the office manager for that location. Yes by now my confidence was building: NOT.
So after he was out for over a week with the flu he called me yesterday to give me the news of the charge.
I think some of the VA rejects are now working at the SS office is the problem here.
Ok enough ranting for now. Just had to get it out.
