Angelica suffered from chronic back and neck pain, depression, anxiety, irritable bowel syndrome and carpel tunnel syndrome, which made it very difficult for her to keep a full-time job.  She thought she might qualify for Social Security disability benefits, but she was not sure.  Rather than confront the bureaucracy alone, Angelica thought it would be better to get representation right from the start. So she called the Packard Law Firm and they were happy to help her.  They gathered all the necessary paperwork, presented it in the best possible light, and filed the claim for her.  Unfortunately, Angelica’s health continued to worsen even after she filed, and she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in addition all the other problems she had.  Her husband then decided to leave her and moved out, leaving her financially destitute and causing her to get behind on her mortgage.  She lost her health insurance, got her car repossessed and was left with no money for food and medicine.  Soon, she had to be hospitalized because she was not getting proper medical treatment.  Samuel Packard took action and notified the Social Security Administration that this case should be expedited on grounds that it was a “critical claim based on dire need.”  His request was granted, and she quickly had her hearing scheduled.  Samuel did a great job at the hearing, which was approved only 14 days later.  Things are still tight, but she now has enough money to support herself, and most importantly, she has health insurance so she can get the medical care and medicine she needs.
