Hi,
I live out of the country in Mexico for 3 months during the summer - my home in the U.S. is in MS (I am aware of the irony and the heat is too much for me to function in the summer. I live in a mountain town in Mexico where it is very temperate.
My father checks my mail at home and he found today the CDR with a return date of 14AUG in my mailbox. I don't know what to do. There is no way I can talk with my doctors, fill out the forms, etc. from here. Will SSA give me an extension and do you have any advice on how to ask?
I don't know why I got the CDR as I thought I should be on a 7 year cycle however I think it is because I have been working from home part time for a few years, always under the SGA but still reporting income. Is that why they would send this?
I'm also concerned because after this many years with MS I don't run to the doctor for each symptom. I do see various doctors but am not sure how many issues will be marked as MS symptoms. A few years ago my GP and I had a good relationship and she supported me being on SSDI, this is a newer doctor and I really need to sit down with her and see how she feels (again can't do that until October).
I'd appreciate any advice you can give.
Thank you
