allow David Howard of Riverside, CA to re-apply for Social Security disability benefits.

My name is David Howard and I am a United States Army veteran and West Point grad. I have had an unknown illness for over 20 years. 8 years ago this condition became disabling. I applied for social security and my claim was denied. I appealed my claim and waited patiently for the results of my appeal. While waiting for that appeal a bureaucratic claim on my benefits expired. Social Security claims they notified me that my appeal had been denied and that this clock had started but I received no notice. Now they are telling me I may never apply for benefits again in my lifetime. I have tried to engage my senators and congressman for help with no answer. Please sign my petition so that I may reapply. That is all that I am asking for is another chance to present my case. Thank you.
