Social Security demanded $95K from disabled Henrico woman. But they actually owe her money.

A Henrico County woman was stunned when she received a letter from the government seeking nearly $100,000 in disability benefit repayments from her.

Though a judge would rule years later that the government was wrong, she said her battle with the Social Security Administration (SSA) is still not over.

In 2015, Amanda Brown said a pseudocyst on her pancreas triggered a serious of intense medical issues that have left her persistently sick and in pain.

"Imagine your worst day of a stomach problem. Mine's like that every day, and then it's like, flareups in between that. So it's just constant," Brown said.

So, she left her job and applied for disability benefits through the SSA, which is supposed to be a lifeline for Americans who suffer from conditions that render them unable to work.

After receiving multiple initial denials from the SSA, Brown was eventually approved for a period of back pay. But according to her case files, the SSA incorrectly processed her benefits, causing an over payment that a judge concluded was not her fault.
