Disability grandfather clause
The new law that was put into place for people receiving back pay for disability. There needs to be a grandfather clause for people who have been waiting for longer periods of time such as myself going on 8 plus years.
Why is this important?
New disability back pay law put into effect a few years ago. People who have been applying for disability for 7+ years are now being told .If you are put on disability you no longer get the back pay you should. New law put into effect about 4 years ago states you only will receive 3 years back pay. There should be a grandfather clause in effect. As of new law and new people applying for disability then that law should apply. Not for people who have been strung along by the system and punished and now take what is ours away from us. I believe ridiculous and completely unacceptable. I cannot believe that the government for the persons in charge of this new law put into place did not have enough sense to put a Grandfather Clause in there for people who have been waiting for 6 to 10 years. I myself have been waiting for 8+ years. For me to recently find out that I lost has been put into effect that anyone Weatherby someone that's been applying for a year or 10 years will only be able to receive a Max of 3 years of back pay of the disability money that they and we have worked for. We deserve every penny of what we put into it. And I personally spoke to someone in the Federal Department that take care of our Senators. Flat out stated that it's because the state of Missouri does not want to pay the people they Monies. Don't try and come back and say all that person didn't say that because they did and I've worked for this person off and on with my case for disability for a few years and I know they are not lying. I'm not asking for anything other than what is mine what I worked for my sweat my lack of sleep the hard work that I put into it and now for you guys to have just take it upon yourself to put a law into place and I just happened to stumble across it. Whomever you people are that voted or discussed how you were going to affect or skim the money from certain areas or whatever and however you went about it for it to affect us people who are filing for disability should be ashamed of yourselves but I know that you're not you sleep like babies and I know it. It's unfortunate that you will probably never be on this side of the fence and have to deal with people such as yourselves making the decisions for us the little guys The Americans the ones making it happen out here in the world doing all the Dirty Work. And that's it thank you that we get. You guys need to reevaluate this law that you passed. I truly believe that there needs to be he disability Grandfather Clause that anybody that had applied for disability before the new law was put into effect within the last 4 years that this new law does not apply to them. I know there are several of us out there in the same situation. And we are not going down without a fight. So I will be the first one to send this out and I will pray that it spreads like wildfire and that we will have many many many people sign this petition and sent into you guys and hopefully something will be done. But whoever handles these petitions will do the right thing and make sure the right thing comes out of this. So everyone out there that's in the same position that I am or similar please help me help you send this out to everyone you know and every social media application that you use and have their friends sign it and their friends sign it and so forth and so on. Time is of the essence so let's get to work!
