Not true at all. You are entitled to have legal representation, if you so choose.
The fact that you have received payments from the system would appear to me to indicate that your application has been approved.
Any comments from the case worker, to you, should be discussed with his/her supervisor, to find out the truth of the matter.
Remember, all civil servants have a boss somewhere that they have to report to, who is required to "listen to your complaints, about the case worker" They are NOT a law onto themselves, they have rules that they have to follow, too.
AnswerI don't disagree with the previous poster's assessment. However state's enact workman's compensation insurance laws. In some states if a worker retains legal counsel to file an appeal (or just files an appeal) the benefits can be held until a decision is made. This could possible be what the case worker was referring to, not that an attorney could not be retained; but in appeal's cases benefits can be in a manner of speaking, "frozen".Additional Information:
It is illegal for an Insurance Carrier / TPA / Employer or anyone else to take punitive action against you because you filed a claim or obtained an attorney. Many states now impose additional penalties on the claim in favor of the claimant if payments are delayed.

Contact the social worker that deals with their case. If the court say no you need a lawyer to prove you are fit to take them.

Your best bet would be to talk to a lawyer. You will have a hard time going around your social worker, but you may be able to get another case worker assigned.
