Re: confused on legal matters
Your Senator employs staff people whose main function is to help resolve Social Security problems for constituents. As such, these staff people have back lines and contacts that are not available to the general public.
My experience has been that most of the time a Senator's office cannot do very much. They certainly cannot influence a decision. Sometimes they can speed things up a bit, especially if you have a dire need (i.e. if you are facing foreclosure or some other documented financial crisis).
As far as details about your actual case, your lawyer ought to be in a better position to answer those questions - if he is not, you may want to think about getting another lawyer.
