I totally agree with you, but I do want to point this out: "i was earning about 800.00 per month below the ssa guidlines which is roughly $1000.00 a month" If the guideline is $1000/mo and this person was earning $800 below the amount, they are making about $200/mo, which is not enough for any person to live on unless they are getting free housing and food. At least, $200/mo wouldn't be enough for me unless I was getting a lot of things for free. Still, I agree that in this case, if the original poster is working and not under a doctor's care, he or she should be able to ask for more hours and would be able to support himself/herself.

In general, I just don't think it is fair for someone who can work, takes no meds and does not see the dr should get SSDI. I have the same impairments as well as 3 other issues and I would never think of stopping my meds...I would probably be dead...seriously. I NEED to see the dr. I don't see anything wrong with them denying you. I am sorry that sounds so harsh...I feel for you, and I am sorry you are going through this. I really do feel badly, I wish you the very best. I hope that if you start to deteriorate(can't spell) that you see your dr regularly and start your meds again.
I hope things go well for you! |

Benefits can be ceased because of work activity without medical recovery or because of medical recovery without work activity. The poster actually did both - went to work and decided he didn't need medical care for his disabling condition. What we don't know is if the original poster is choosing to work and earn under $1000 when he could work more. He said he took the job to supplement the Social Security. |
