My DH retired early, so when he passed,I got his SS retirement. I didn't have to fight for it.

I'm glad you didn't have to fight for your SS disability.. Noone should have to.

Congrats! I applied in June, was approved in September, and received my first check in November. Sometimes, they believe what we and our doctors tell them. :-)

P.S.: Part of me felt, though, that maybe I am more disabled than I think, if I was approved so quickly. Other than my naps and some balance issues, I actually function fairly well between flares.

I'm a little bit cross to say the least.
By him looking after me, taking night shifts for the penalty rates and working hard, we are penalised.
I understood that what the hubby makes has nothing to do with your case in as far as social security is concerned. I can see where Medicaid may say you earn too much as a family......
Social Security is not concerned also with any other income you (personaly)may have unless it is "Earned" through a job. I have a divorce settlement that didn't even come into play.

Congrats to anyone getting SSDI first time out! It is such a blessing not to have to keep fighting the system. Mine was denied the first time and it will take 3 years to get before a judge even though mine is listed as "likely to be approved" HA!
