Got denied for a paper shredder I bought in 2017, took 8 months to fix

So I had this disability appeal where the SSA said I had too much in assets because I bought a $40 paper shredder off Craigslist back in 2017 and they counted it as income. Took me 8 months to get a local lawyer in Dayton to actually look at the receipt and prove it was a used purchase. The judge literally laughed when he saw the shredder was broken too. Anyone else have a wild denial over some tiny purchase that took forever to straighten out?

Did the shredder at least shred your denial letter for you?

Ngl, that letter got shredded faster than my dignity.

@foster.jordan probably kicked his own shredder after reading that nonsense.
