Now I need to find a good SSDI attorney. I am hoping they don't make me pay up-front.
I do have to say that up to now w/c has been very good to me. (Bi-weekly benefits, meds, doctor and mileage reimbursement). Guess I should stop complaining!
Hope it works out for you. Quickly!

Hi Kim,
For a reputable SSDI lawyer, you will not have to pay up front....they take their fee from your backpay.
You will have to educate yourself on SSDI's expectation of what you can do for work. They are not at all concerned that your last job involved 80-100 hours a week on your feet. Their concern is if there is ANY work that you can do.....even as a telemarketer for minimum wage
