The medications that you are taking right now--are they also for whatever has gotten you approved for SSDI?
For example, I am on medication for neuropathy and just was accepted for SSI. As long as I take medication for neuropathy, I think I will be fine. However, if I go off of all medicines for neuropathy and only take medicines for migraines, that doesn't count and I may not qualify when I am evaluated. Does that make sense?

I don't really know exactly what condition I was approved for. I suffer from severe depression, anxiety disorder, panic disorder, bipolar, high blood pressure and I am a borderline diabetic. I have tried over and over again to try and find out the exact reason for which I was awarded benefits but I still cannot get a straight answer.
