I have tried multiple times to contact the Wichita Falls SS office, and both times have been disconnected after a good 10 minute hold...each time. This is after a unhelpful call with the main SSA helpline and a very rude representative. Come on folks!
I have called 4 separate times to make an appointmemt at my local SSA Office - EACH TIME I HAVE CALLED, I have been disconnected when speaking with a representative. THIS IS HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL. All I have been trying to do is make an appointment - I have several matters I need to attend to. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
I been trying to get SS for a long time I can't work with my condition and the system is suppose to help people and they don't, they help people who don't need it instead of people who really needs it like me.
