Ok...going for my third try at approval for the DRG trial. I'm scheduled for it November 6th so let's see if my new insurance will approve it. The Dr and staff seen very confident that blue cross will approve...they said u items healthcare has been the only one denying it...so fingers crossed I can finally do the trial and then that it gives me significant relief and we can go for the full implant.

Good luck! You might want to start the SSDI application process now. If you respond well to treatment and can return to work, then you have 9 months where you're allowed to transition if you utilize the Ticket to Work program or your Alleged Onset Date goes back 12 months, which yours would.

Thanks. I will definitely look in to that.

I'm so happy things are moving along for you with the DRG trial Catra! I am praying that your DRG trial will be approved and that it helps give you some relief from the pain you're in. And I hope that you will be approved for the DRG implant if you find that it will help you too. Hugs to you my friend!

You can start the application online or even call SS to setup an appointment and the day you call becomes your protected filing date. If your LTD is entitled to your daughter's benefits there is no rush until the insurance gives you a deadline. If not, you should at least call this month to maximize her benefits.
