MN DHS Appeal Procedural Irregularities

This report examines failures in communications, facts, and ADA accommodations during the appeal filing process and administrative appeal hearing.

It documents communication barriers, omitted records, and bias affecting a vulnerable adult in violation of Minn. Stat. § 256M.60 and the ADA (42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq.).

As I detail the reports and document the evidence, it is overwhelming. No wonder I am often unable to move in not just the physical pain from my illnesses, but the emotional pain.

When I feel like people don’t really understand, I realize as I create the reports how truly difficult it is to understand. The complexity of my challenges boogles my mind. No wonder life feels so impossible so much of the time.

As I told friends, holding so much in when people mistreat me is killing me. For example, the appeals judge who hung up on me and said the most amazingly unintelligent things, and then writes I abandonded my appeal: it left me speachless. It takes me days to process this kind of abuse, and I mean abuse as statutorily defined. It is two weeks and a day since that horrible phone hearing, or non-hearing as I refused to let it start until my questions about how it would work were answered, but to be hung up on? I have the recording so you can listen yourself, but I was not unkind or unfair in any way: my questions were clearly stated and legitimate in a moderate tone. But to be hung up on because the judge was uncomfortable answering the questions? Read the report and evidence and make your own conclusions. I am still dummied and incompacitated with trying to make sense of what is likely nonsensical.
