    I have called my case worker and made several complaints with no call back, no letter. I need assistance. I have turned in my monthly report of changes and still no one at dhr or my case worker will contact me back. Do I need to file a complaint with headquarters in Montgomery that the staff at dhr in walker county needs to be dealt with? I need assistance, not being ignored.

    A walker county employee shared my food stamp application information with many others who were plotting against my family. I reported her crimes to the local police and the FBI which now has an ongoing criminal investigation into the matter. I left a written complaint with the front office staff. I went to my interview and experienced severe prejudice, discrimination, abuse of power, lack of compassion, intense hate and much more from my case worker.
