Ugh, I feel you. I've been there and it's so frustrating. Have you tried calling them directly? Sometimes that can help move things along.

I've tried calling but can never get through. It's like their phone lines are always jammed 😫

Pro tip: call right when they open. Like, set an alarm and everything. It's annoying but it works

Calling is useless tbh. I spent hours on hold and got nowhere. There's gotta be a better way

Make sure you've submitted ALL the required paperwork. Double check everything. They love to delay things if even one tiny thing is missing.

I found a method 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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work? 🤔

Idk man, paying to talk to a government agency feels wrong. Shouldn't this be free?

I get that, but think about how much your time is worth. For me, not sitting on hold for hours was totally worth it

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster.

I hadn't thought of that! Do you just email their office or what?

Yep, most have a 'constituent services' section on their website. Fill out the form there and explain your situation. They can often work wonders!

3 months? Amateur hour. Try 6 months and counting 😭

Here's what worked for me: 1. Gather ALL your medical documents, even ones you think might not be relevant. 2. Write a detailed letter explaining your situation and why you need the extension. 3. If possible, get a letter from your doctor supporting your need for extended benefits. 4. Submit everything together, preferably by certified mail so you have proof of receipt. 5. Follow up weekly by phone or email (document all communication). 6. If you don't hear back within 30 days, consider reaching out to your local representative or an disability advocate group. It's a pain, but being proactive and thorough can really speed things up. Hang in there!
