Default The Judgement day
My wife Suzy, after 4 years, had her day for the first time with a SS judge yesterday in DC. Her lawyer seemed very positive. They called Suzy and her lawyer into the chamber and BAM! ten minutes later she was fully approved! She now has her Medicare, her back-pay and a monthly check and credibility dealing with RSD. And our home is saved from the vultures.
We went out last night a had dinner of all dinners.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Unfortunately this judgement is no cure for the pain Suzy feels but the stress should be less so that should make a difference. fmichael, I'm so used to worrying about one thing or another through the years I still feel like I'm worrying, about what I'm not sure. I'm sure that feeling will subside somewhat.

Jim -

Understand what you mean about default mode hyper-vigilance. This too shall pass. Right now the only thing you have to worry about is what level of tax withholding to elect on the back-pay award - someone from the SSA will be in touch with you - and whether Suzy wants to purchase private supplemental insurance on top of the basic Medicare coverage. At least according to what I heard from my agent, it's one area where they don't discriminate on account of pre-existing conditions and some of the coverage is quite good. Don't know about long-term care coverage, but it would be worth checking out.

"Problems" like this have to be welcome. N'est pas?

Mike
