When I worked at Social Security, people whose disability claims were denied frequently hired attorneys to represent them in the appeals process. They only paid the attorneys if the appeal was successful. Many claimants refused to admit to any mental issues, such as depression, and were unable to keep appts for medical/psych evals, so in a sense were too disabled to get disability. The Indian Health Services, (IHS) who were charged with providing health benefits on the Wind River Res, had a finite budget unequal to the care needed there, and had employees that worked closely with my offices to cut through red tape Catch 22s that stymied the claimants, made sure they kept appts etc etc. Our benefit programs provided health benefits that could be used to augment the meager budgets IHS was given so this was a win win in my opinion.
My point here is, at least over here, govt regs are not your friend and someone savvy can be very effective. Although some of my staff were pretty bad, my real headaches came from the executives whose ambition, political butkissery and total disdain for the public made providing good service difficult.
Rant over.
Be well and safe...

Good morning folks, I did the wordle in three this morning, I'm still in bed, I've unlocked and will get up when the carer arrives, it looks much like yesterday out, cold and dry.
Not sure what time my rowing machine will arrive. I suspect it won’t be till late afternoon. Doesn’t sound like much assembly is involved. Just 8 bolts for the front legs and slot the two parts together.
