Eileen,

You should check out the social security forum here. I found my doctor's reports of my pain and total disability (narrative style) just got me denied for 3 years. New docs making the functional assessment page sound dismal was what made the difference in my approval.


Jenno,

Your daughter can collect SSDI on your's or hubby's work history when she is over 22 if either of you are retired or disabled then....or when you do eventually retire. In the meantime, she could get SSI (for people with little or no income) who didn't work enough to get SSDI until one of her parent's retire. It's not a lot......I think about $600 per month. She might even be eligible to collect that now if your household income is low enough. You should check out the social security website at ssa.gov
