Finally got through to disability office about claim & end of disability period - any tips to reach them faster?

I found a way to solve long disability office wait times, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7_Z5FfOWsE

Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been trying to get through for weeks. It's like they don't want us to actually talk to anyone. 🙄

I found a method that actually works to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Pro tip: If you're calling about the end of your disability period, make sure you have all your paperwork ready. They always ask for a million different documents and it's a pain to call back multiple times.

Has anyone else noticed that the wait times seem to be getting worse? I swear it used to be easier to get through a few months ago. What changed?

Here's what I've learned after dealing with the disability office for months: • Best times to call are usually early morning (right when they open) or late afternoon • Have all your claim numbers, SSN, and other relevant info ready • Be patient but persistent. Sometimes you gotta call multiple days in a row • If you get a helpful agent, ask for their direct extension if possible • Keep a log of who you talked to and what they said. It helps if you need to follow up • Check their website for any online options. Sometimes you can submit questions or forms without calling Hope this helps someone! Stay strong, we're all in this together. 💪

Am I the only one who's considering hiring a lawyer to deal with this mess? It's getting ridiculous.

Unpopular opinion: maybe if we all stopped calling so much, the lines wouldn't be so jammed? Just a thought... 🤔
