OP here...I would happily go through checks and balance and accept sometimes I would have to appeal in a system where the goal is to help. In the US system its adversarial from the outset and the goal is to deny. I cannot even read some of the reports from various offices because they enrage me so much. Lies and excuses. You hear story after story of people in even more dramatic and urgent need being denied, terminal illnesses with boss legs missing and just obvious stuff. Denied. It's a terrible system and a shameful blight. But it's working as intended according to half the nation...and not good enough in their view as their first stories on the topic will always be dramatic tales of abuse and cheating.
