I filed for SS Disability & was denied. I appealed twice, on my
Own, and was denied both times. I hired an attorney, with the
$6000 limit (on contingency) and was granted SS Disability.
SAME EXACT SITUATION, SAME EXACT DOCTORS' RECORDS ...
But the attorney got it done.

IF you win, the money is taken directly out of the
Retro wages before you see any money. It is a
Racket, but one our legal system thrives on.

Get a GOOD attorney. Don't let the attorney
Mess things up for you.

Good Luck. I go through this process every 3-5 years,
As they try to kick me off THAT OFTEN! I am
Going thru another One right now. It is a cruel
Joke that SS Disability plays on sick people.
AS IF RSD WASN'T BAD ENOUGH BY ITSELF, I
HAVE TO RELIVE EVERY DETAIL, UNDER OATH & IN WRITING,
JUST SO A "N U R S E" CAN PUT A BIG RED
"X" SAYING " DENIED ".

When I filed it was $5300 and it went directly from the Social Security Office to him and taken off my loss wage check and documented as such on all my papers from social security.

Filing for disability is really a pain. It took me 2 tries, never had to go to court it was settled in lawyers office.

I hope this is a help.

Default hi

G'morning Drea,

I'm sorry for the situation you are in, I've been there myself although its been a long time, I still remember how it feels, hang in there k, and I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

I just wanted to let you in on some advise that was given me way back when I filed for SSDI. A book called Nolo's Guide to Social Security. You can check it out at any library, and read it carefully. I used that book and filed myself and won my SSDI on the first try, no lawyer needed. Needless to say, I bought myself a copy of that book as it is a wealth of information. I cannot guarantee it will work for everyone, but I think its worth a try first before retaining a lawyer who will take his cut from your money.

Take care and hang in there k,
Dee
