@ stressed, if it is clear that someone meets the CF impairment listings, then I personally recommend AGAINST getting a lawyer since they get 25% of your backpay up to $6000. However, if you've got a complicated case it might be worth it. are you looking to get your girls on SSI? Email me if you would like, I am NOT a lawyer, but have done over 35+ CF cases and have not lost one yet. www.dafcf.org (email: services@dafcf.org)
