Being sent for physical and mental evaluation
Hi Everyone,
I called to check up on my disability claim today and they said they are sending me for a physical and a mental exam at the end of July. Do you think this is a good or a bad thing? I have been fighting for my benefits since 2009. I have been denied at the ALJ level and started a new claim in March. So this is for the new claim. I just don't understand how they can deny someone who has had liver and kidney failure, traumatic brain injury, chronic pain, liver dysfunction, seizures, REM sleep disorder, hypoglycemia with passing out episodes resulting in multiple concussions etc. etc. ? I was bed ridden for 3 years after the liver and kidney failure and can only leave my house for a few hours a week. I can't drive, cook, watch movies, have relationships, keep track of my medication. I was diagnosed with severe depression after they denied me at the ALJ level. Please someone give me some hope. I am so sick and I just can't keep this up. I am in desperate need for money at this point. I have worked my entire life. I don't get it. Any advise on the exams would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brain
