A relative's husband has come down with Parkinson's Disease in his early 60's. His application for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) has been rejected and he had his wife are devastated as he is unable to find a job so they were counting on this income. Does anyone know of a free advisory service they could go to who could help them in the appeal process? There are tons of "for profit" agencies and law firms who do this work but, due to their circumstances, a free service would be better. Thanks for any information.

The company that administers my COBRA benefits terminated me because, they said, of an NSF check, which my bank had told me would clear. But it didn't because the check was put thru literally hours before a hold on a $500 check was released. Apparently the bank rep was figuring that either A) the bank would pay the check (they have before) or B) the hold release would happen before the check came thru. My cyber-statement even shows that the check was paid; then the next day it was sent back. (So when I checked my cyber-statement to confirm the info from the phone rep, the check was shown as having been pd.) Q 1) How and to whom do I appeal? Q 2) Is it worth the effort?

I have a disgruntled professor whose only goal seems to burn every bridge in his path. Assignments that were turned suddenly aren't there, grades are arbitrarily assigned for no reason. The administration knows of this and appears to be willing to work with students but tells us we have to wait until the end of the semester for a grade appeal process... [more inside]
