Many tell stories of having endured discrimination and/or a violation of rights when going through the SSDI application process.

I believe any of us with a psychiatric diagnosis(es) are likely to experience these types of violations more often than do other populations.

I hope to list resources for reporting the following:

- Discrimination

- Any violation of rights

I hope you'll join me in identifying the places/organizations where one might report these violations. There are multiple places to report, according to a reporting form I've reviewed; however, these resources are not identified within that form.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

RE: DISCRIMINATION - Just One Place to report is reporting to the SSA itself.

COMPLAINT FORM FOR ALLEGATION OF PROGRAM DISCRIMINATION BY THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

Instructions for filing and complaint form:

https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ssa-437.pdf

Telephone : 866-574-0374
Email: program.complaint.intake@ssa.gov

Any complaint may also be filed by letter instead of the form linked above.
However, it is best to follow the format of the form according to the site instructions.

ALL written communications must be sent to your REGIONAL SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE, which is different than your local office. See form link above to identify the contact information for your Regional Office.

I think it’s ridiculous that you have to practically scour the earth to find out how you can file a complaint !

Ssa is terrible to deal with !!!
