Disability re-exam after 12 years
I received a letter that I would no longer be receiving extra help from state Medicaid for prescriptions. So I called to appeal that decision. I don't think they understood I was appealing the decision to stop my extra help with my prescription drug cost but instead I believe they thought I was appealing my disability claim decision, which was awarded in October 2014. I have severe diabetic peripheral neuropathy, diabetic gastroparesis, PTSD, anxiety, clinical depression and am a constant fall risk. I've also had my left big toe amputated within the last year which adds to my fall/tripping risk. I'm only able to walk due to muscle memory.I'm supposed to submit to a in office medical exam like I had done when I filed originally. I've contacted the caseworker listed on the appointment notice but have not received any return contact. I know I have to attend the appointment but I'm just worried about it. I was told by SSA that I would not be subject to any more physical exams or any type of "recertification" approximately 3-4 years ago. I just don't understand what exactly is going on. Has anyone here had an experience like this?
