Well thank you very much SSA...I got my letter of denial. Based on their findings, they feel I can go back and work as a retail bookstore clerk.
Funny, I can't seem to even stand in the check-out line at the grocery store for more than five minutes without having to sit down from the leg spasms. Maybe if I get some illegal MJ I can work too!! I love my government!!

So sorry you were denied. It's such a long, tiring and draining experience.

Deb, sorry! It seems like they routinely turn most people down the first time. I just saw an article that said the number of applications is way up due to the poor economy and people losing their jobs.

I'm sorry Debbie. What a system we have. My late SIL filed a few months before her death when she had terminal lung cancer and she was denied. Of course she never received any benefits because she didn't live long enough to appeal.
I hope you'll appeal the decision and have Dr. Wynn help by providing additional information.

I'm sorry I went through all appeals and finally got it with the judge hearing.
I have a 23 year old nephew that has a terrible back. His physician says that if he doesn't do something radical he will be in a wh/ch by the time he is 30. So he is on a lot of pain medicine. He is thinking of applying. I can just see his denial, a 23 year old guy on pain meds with back pain wants SSD. |

hi deb,
i was denied the 1st time too. then i saw a disability lawyer. they don't collect until you get the settlement. altho that can be around $4000. keep meticulous records. get copies of every test result. read them for yourself. ask your dr for any tests that will corroborate the disability result. my MS social worker once told me to treat the application like i was writing a college paper. don't give up. i also read that they won't approve you just because you have MS. you must show your disability. dr's reports help. good luck.

We are definitely going to appeal. It's just so frustrating. I feel bad that I can't help out financially...so I was hoping that getting this would help in some fashion.
