It is incorrect that if you qualified for SSDI you would have no 24 month waiting period for Medicare. According to you, you have never been entitled to SSDI, just SSI. That does not get you on Medicare. And the formula for computing SSDI is the same as retirement Social Security - but with no reduction for entitlement before full retirement age, 66.

ANSWER: If someone proves they were disabled before their insured date they don't have to wait the 2 yrs. to get medicare. It is people who are just being approved who have to wait. This I know for sure. As for the other, my social security statements tell me I will receive $200.00 when I turn 62. I will call the office to verify this; I can't see why they are saying this on the statement if it's not true but maybe that's another trick. It will be interesting to find out.

I plan to turn the one counselor in for fraud, she is collecting SSI illegally & the place she is employed by is also committing a fraud by going along with this in making sure she only works so many hours. She is certainly more than capable of working full time. Social security needs to know her mother is hiding money for her also. Let her go get her own insurance or have the place she works for give her health care. I'm paying for this out of my tax dollars. The place she works for would not release my medical records to me & that also is against the law. The other place immediately released mine to me because they are smart enough to know they have to. I wrote to the other place numerous times and they never even bothered to send me a form letter back. Very unprofessional! They haven't got a clue what is getting ready to happen to them. They are going to be sorry they fooled with me. I expect people to act professional if that's what they claim they are!

I don't know where you get the idea I said I never qualified for SSDI, I certainly do, but I have to prove I was disabled before my insured date. What about this don't you understand?? Mainly the whole point of my post is the shadiness of some therapist & how trivial the records were about me with no diagnosis whatsoever, even one of them working at the very same place that made records showing my diagnosis, that's why I was put on SSI IMMEDIATELY. Neither one of the therapist are doctors!

Three full fledged doctors claim I was disabled before my insured date & I always have been. These therapist are really powerless so they fill out forms to try to feel powerful, that's all that is. At this point I think it might be a good idea to just do away with social security as they are wanting to do. I seriously don't think anyone is going to have it before too long with the way things are going. It seems it causes some people to become arrogant & think they deserve it but others don't. I laugh how the one decided it would be best for me to sell my house, what a stupid idea that is. The other idea was for me to just drop my medical insurance, another real bad idea. Maybe she should go without medical insurance too & have her over inflated gov't pension cut I also am paying for with my tax dollars. Again, the arrogant attitudes of some people is astounding to me. I'm glad I don't think this way, that at least makes me feel good in spite of how I was treated from a couple of no good therapist.
