Just a award letter on a saturday morining,, no phone calls

one thing I was told was to call who ever it is with your case and make sure they have revived all your medical records if they only get one file and you have like 4 dr they will there ruling with what ever they have you see that is better for them if your doctors do not send the info to them then they can put from the info they have we find you able to work witch is p.s if they hade all you records it may have been enough to get you your ssdi it's just one of the things I've seen happen they did it to me I called them and they said that the review dr had my files I ask what doctors sent files and they only hade 2 of the 5 doctors that I hade seen so I made calls to my docs amd made sure they all sent out my med files I think this my help you let me know what you find out you have to watch them like a hawk lol they are always looking for a way out of paying you so make sure u call and ask your case worker

I rcvd a call fro SSI asking about my current stats...rent amnt, work, etc in order to confirm what they had on file....i then called around and found out on the phone that i had been approved for ssdi. and of course, then i kept calling around again and again to make sure i heard it all correctly. and ...i didnt belive them then anyway and worried thinking it could still get kicked out or go through reandom scrutiny...but the approval letter doe ssdi came 3 wks after that call. phew. i hate it when i dont see the future or know things for certain. bad bad character defect. (smile)

not quite sure what to put in here. on 12/5/09 i walked to work just around the block from my house. i was at work for a half hour and my left foot went numb then within a few minutes the rest of my leg all the way to my hip went numb. and my ankle kept turning outward and i kept falling i could not walk right then pain started in my thigh. went to er and ruled out a blood clot they set me up with a neurologist who thought it was a possibility of a psciatic nerve, went to neurosurgeon who seen me for 10 minutes without even touching me and said it was diabetic neuropathy and i could go back to work. i went back and kept falling down and my ankle and foot was swelled up. my work asked if i could work a whole day by myself {i am a cashier, that takes care of three different counters and its fast paced, and the floor is made of tiles that are uneven which is why i kept falling}i told my boss that she may want to have someone on stand by in case i could'nt finish my shift she called our big boss and he said to get rid of me, but that after i was better i could come back because i was one of the best employees that they ever had. sorry enough about that. guess i am still a little ticked off about that. went back to the neurologist for another nerve conduction test and it was worse than the first one. I have now been diagnosed with peripheral polyneuropathy with drop foot. thanks for listening. looking forward to being a member.

hrew the mail..

happens all the time that you'll get retroactive pay before the award letter...i have no clue why but it's nice to give good news sometimes.

they aren't allowed to tell you why because it's medical info that we can't release...not even to the claimant. It's a very strict rule.
