Unsurprising but still disappointing, the Social Security Administration has denied my disability claim.
For added annoyance, this information came in the form of an email saying "we have made a decision, log in to see it or wait for a letter in the mail." After some trouble logging in I was told to call to get the answer. I then spent about three minutes on the phone, most of it listening to a recording tell me how the process complied with the Paperwork Reduction Act, and that the whole thing would take about two minutes, and wouldn't I like to use their website instead.
So, what I know now is that someone made a medical decision to turn me down, and I will have sixty days to appeal the decision. That is a problem for next week, after I get the letter. *sigh*
It doesn't help that the air quality is unhealthy for sensitive people, which includes me. The alert has been extended from midnight last night until midnight tonight; I woke up coughing at five a.m.
