Welcome to Neuro Talk. Do post to the Social security forum. There should be some knowledgable people there that can help address the issues you have with SSDI. I know more and more is is getting difficult to receive benefits. What they can use against you, I am not sure about. Telling the truth however is a good idea, as they research your background anyway. I am sorry you are having such a tough time. I also am on medicare/medicaid, and receive SSDI. The screening process isn't fun to go through. I do wish you all the best. Please feel at ease here, and explore the site. You may even make some friends. There are alot of good people here who can help and give you support while you go for more benefits. ginnie
