Just recieved notice from the appeals council my case has been sent down for a remand hearing. Good news, in most cases they deny the appeal. but the last hearing took 2 years and I will lose my house if it takes that long. I am in alot of pain most every day I take norco 4 to 5 times a day at the highest dose. My dr has prescribed all kinds of meds for depression, none seem to help. Pretty much at the end of my rope, and I know my wife and kids have had enough. Just wanted to write some things down.
i know that is a very heavy load on your mind.of loosing your home and not being able to take care of your family.plus your back also..i was kind of there to.i fell at my job.injuried my neck and shoulder.it took me awhile to start my benefits rolling.the only thing i was most concern with was my "SSDI".yes i to had to get a lawyer.and it might not hurt to call your congress person or senator.you can even go to there office(but they wont be there just there aids).but in a place like michagan,with all those auto workers there.those lawyers should know about workers injuries rights and how to handle those cases.at least that how it was for me here in NY.my lawyer is a pretty sharp guy.he saw on my xray injuries to my neck,my doctor said its just my shoulder..at trial my lawyer pointed out to the judge,that its both!judge agreed..so you see a lawyer can help
