 Life is good all this month at Appalachian Wireless. Get the LG G5 for just one penny with signup or renewal of a two-year service agreement. That's almost $100 off the regular price. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. Two years ago, the disability claims of more than 1,500 people were questioned by the federal government. After allegations that their lawyer Eric C. Kahn had acted inappropriately. Now those same people are faced with another problem. The agency, who has been helping them try to recover that income, just had all of their funding slashed by the President of the United States. In May of 2015, about 1,500 received notice that their Social Security disability and or SSI benefits were going to be reviewed because they had Eric C. Kahn as an attorney and also had one of four doctors who were deemed to be allegedly having done some questionable things. The case created a legal maelstrom for those affected. Though Appalachian Wireless could not cover them all, they could help finding more lawyers from around the country to pitch in and help. We worked with the Kentucky Bar Association and also NASCAR, the National Organization of Social Security Claimants Representatives, to recruit private attorneys to help these folks at these administrative law and judge hearings. And 136 attorneys from around Kentucky and around the country volunteered to assist these folks. John says that with the help of Appalachian and in particular John Rosenberg and Ned Pillerstorf, many of the claimants have had their disability restored. But a cut to the agency's funding could jeopardize the work being done for those who are still fighting. Reporting from Prestonsburg for EKB News, I'm Jackson Laddak.
