Weird to hear this, actually I have had good luck calling the local SS office and after a brief wait getting right through to a SSA agent, and most of them were actually very helpful.

So it must be that your particular local office is useless for some reason. Not surprising, these agencies are very inconsistent.

Anyway I'd keep trying that local number maybe you caught them on some busy/bad days.
