Hi Bobby: This is probably a little late for the information that you need but I will give you the scenario I just completed. I got the short form on Jun 21 and mailed in it Jun 22. I answered quetion one that I was working, and that I was still working to this date, however I never made over the SGA limt and I have completed my trial work period. Question 2 I checked No for the attendance of any school or training. Question 3 My Doctor told me I could work, he went on to say only part time. Question 4...Condition remaning the Same. Question 5..Mark what you are being treated for and the medicines you are taking and any apppointments you have had receently with your doctor, no matter for what reason. Question 6: Self Explanatory. Remarks: Leave blank as you do not need to give them any additional information. You have the short form to fill out and the chances of becoming reviewed from the extremely intence reviews of have done, you will be all set. I heard backk from them in two months with no change. Plus your age could be in your favor, depending on what that may bee. Best of Luck!!!! Do not stress it is out of your control for now,, but to me you would be in good shape...

Now SS sends the message to my neurologist to get her message on if I'm still disabled. But at first I had to go to the SSA office to see their doctor to get checked out. So if you can get your neck specialist and your general practice doctor to both send SSDI a note on how you're still not doing good enough to get back out in the working world. Then SSDI gets hit hard on keeping you.
But it won't surprise me if SSA is doing all they can to kick people out of disability coverage. That's because a couple years ago bush told SS to no longer accept people like they were into SSDI because it would hurt his war budget over the years. Now when they say you have the right to a hearing, that sounds like court; but it's not. All you get is the talk with a high ranking supervisor in SS. I heard that on the news too when they reported what bush ordered SSA to do. But since you're already in it, and hearing from both doctors. That should hit them hard enough on having to keep you. But I'm not a doctor, that's just my opinion because I'm in it too because of severe epilepsy for 16 years.
