I’m in Albuquerque, NM. I’m open to a representative from out of state. It’s so overwhelming to apply for SSI as Social Security intentionally makes it a challenge. 

I have no idea how to navigate the ins and out, what key words to include in an application and what to omit or minimize.  

I’ve applied twice and both times I unfairly got the sort end of the stick. First time they said I was disabled, but disqualified because of $2,000 of retirement money I wasn’t aware I had. Currently my benefits letter says I’m entitled to payments as a disabled individual since February, 2017, however I’ve never received a dime. 

Is that fair???
