My neighbor has an ambiguous neurological problem similar to MS. She has very little leg muscle She uses braces and a cane to walk and has broken her hip on like 2 occasions. Screws everywhere. She's 65 and worked for a long time. They had the gall to tell her she could work too at first.
She filed an appeal though and won SSDI. She doesn't get loads but its just a shame that they expect these people to find jobs. What jobs? She was a housekeeper. Are they going to help her get a job as a telemarketer at her own home? I really doubt that. It's complete BS and she definitely deserves her SSDI. She worked hard and deals with severe disability. She would be working past retirement age if she had her own wish and was well, it isn't like she is a leech!
So yeah, I agree with what the other poster said. The letter sounds like BS and I'd appeal it. Let us know what happens.
