I finally got some good news. Yesterday I received the ruling from the ALJ in my Medicaid (state insurance) hearing. He deemed me disabled and overturned the decision of the department of human services. I will now be able to get Medicaid and possibly other assistance.

I'm going to contact the people handling my SSDI claim and let them know. I'm wondering if this will help speed things along for that. They use the SS classification to determine disabilities. So if an ALJ has deemed me disabled for the Medicaid maybe that will be enough and I won't have to have another hearing?? Opinions...
