Need to write an appeal letter.

Hi, There is a post called "Legal Victory". It was posted about two weeks ago. You can find it by scrolling through the Main Message Board. How much muscle weakness do you have? Jon

[Bama12]

I struggle to stand for long periods of time.
My work is retail and requires about 8 hours out of 9 standing.
I lost 35 pounds since my MC started and feel that much of it was muscle.

Hi Lynn,

There's some information that might be helpful in the two threads at the following link. The second one contains a quote of the parts of the law that relate to this, that you might want to print.

Also, if you happen to have a copy of my book available, this is discussed on pages 184–187.

No
But I will ask them to.
