Hey Mark
Big hug - gets!!!! Sounds like life is really kicking you in the teeth right now. I totally agree - in some ways the being taken advantage of and being treated like you are STUPID for being disabled does not change culture wide. Good old UK is full of the impression - cripple = stupid instead of modern society = stupid. Really hope things get sorted for you!!! Sounds like taking the attorney with you would be great - they might listen then. Are you living with your family now? I remeber you saying something about it. If not then are there are community programs that could help you with day to day stuff (if you are living alone - it just sounds like you are struggling to manage stuff at the moment). In the UK it is possible for some people in some areas to have community volunteers help with simple stuff like basic meals, shopping, tidying etc. just a thought. Are you not eligible for welfare? is it me or is this US system a TOTAL farce??? When I lived in CA our neighbour had quadraplegia - and we worked out I recieved a higher amount of benefit from the UK system than he did! and that was with me using a wheelchair but not needing 24 hour care. TOTALLY bizzare! Anyway - sorry to digress Just wanted to say that I hope things improve soon and sending you tons of love Froggsyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |

I'm glad to see you post, I do hope you stick around. So many of the oldies have left in the past few months again.
Sorry that you are having such a bad time with everything. I went down to sign up after Bill passed because I lost his income and I got them one month and then was cut down to 10. a month. I haven't yet but I am just going to tell this witch that she can stick them where the sun don't shine. It's just crazy that a person has to go through this. Has far as SS. Bill was gone 5 months today and as of yet I still don't know what I will draw. I have gotten 8 different letters and not one of them had the same amount on it. They waste all of the money they should be giving the people on stamps and paper. I know you have an attorney but I was going to ask you if you ever wrote to the State Rep or Govenor. I don't remember if you did. A State Rep helped me get my disability in one week after I contacted him. What I did was hand write him a 2 page letter describing what I was going through and sent him part of my file which what I sent him was about 1 to 2 inches thick. I stayed calm and explained it as smartly as I could. That's saying a lot for me. I didn't show anger in it though, I believe that hurts at time or to talk negative about the SS people hurts too. Gigglebabe had the help of one or the other to get hers also. This might help you if you will try it. Anyway, I do hope you start seeing better days and come back to stay. Have a good day. Ada |

Hi Mark,
Keep hanging in there! Things will get better! I will keep praying for you. As for Social Security Disability I was denied two times and am waiting on a hearing and it will be three years in July since I applied. My case has even been sent to another state because of the back log in my state.

I printed, highlighted, and sent this to disability with my appeal (they denied me). The lady from disability called me and said yes we have codes for CRPS/RSD. We just need your doc to fill out this form stating it and we're good. My doc is doing as we speak. This is for SSI (permanent) however, I mentioned that SSI accepts this as a disability then my state should also and I should not be denied. Good luck.
