I applied on Aug 26, for my SSDI. found there was a decision made on mine on Sept. 8. It was sent back to the local office to, today I received it from the local office and it was denied. I would sit hit and tell u all that I have wrong with me but I just had surgrey and can not sit very long. another day i will fill in profile with all that is wrong with me...They stated even tho they know i can not go back and do job or jobs that i have done in the past, they fill i can do a job that involves no lifting of 5 or 10 lbs. Since I filed the original application for SSDI I have had a cervical revision with hardware and 2 more disc removed for a total of a 3 level fusion. in addition to low back problems. I hope you get a better result with them arss than i have.
