I WAS TRYING TO GET ON SSI FOR 4 YEARS, I FINALLY GOT IT, THE CHECK I GOT FROM THEM WAS BACK PAY FOR THE 4 YEARS. I DID HAVE A LAWYER WHO WORKED JUST ON SSI. SHE WAS GOOD, THEY RAN LOTS OF TEST, ANY TIME I WAS IN THE ER I WOULD GET REPORTS SENT TO HER SAYING WHY I WAS IN THERE. THE RESULTS WOULD GO TO HER OFFICE AS SHE WAS HANDLING CASE, SHE WOULD CALL ME AND TELL ME WERE WE STOOD. WHEN WE HAD TO GO TO COURT SHE CALLED AND THE COURT GAVE THE OK ON ME GETTING SSI, ( I DON`T DRIVE). SO BY HAVING LAWYER IT HELP OUT ALOT. YES SHE GOT PAID ONLY IF I WON , WE SIGNED A PAPER THAT SHE WOULD GET MONEY ONLY IF I WIN, BUT MAKE SURE YOU GET IT IN WRITING.:winky
