Hi lawtcrav,

You might get more responses if you start your own thread in the main section below.

If your concern is how to explain to SSA that at times you are able to be more active despite the pain, I would focus on the fact the you pay the price with increased pain afterwards, that your manic periods are unpredictable so you cannot schedule work when they occur, and the aspects of bipolar that contribute to and complicate your disability, like the poor impulse control, poor judgement, tendency to spend money that you can't afford, and inability to concentrate.

Increased physical activity during periods of mania is a symptom of that disorder, not a sign that your physical limitations aren't valid.

Glad I read this post. I was going to the SS office this morning with exactly the way you mention not to. Well now i will take my time and get all the medical info of my medical conditions from my doctor. I also suffer from diabetes as well as having MG. The one main concern I do have is that I do work P/T which my doctor's recommend me doing as long as i don't put myself in stressful situations that may cause severe fatigue. So I wonder if this will be an issue with the SSI claim? I guess I will find out. Thanks for the heads up.

Just wanted to add
 
It is also important to analyze and document your functional limitations.

Personally, I have a tendancy to not clue my docs in about all the ways I've adapted to daily life and put a smile on when in public and hide away when I'm at my worst. For those that you see infrequently, and only for shorts periods of time, the hundreds of adaptions you might have to make in order to cope with your disability, might not be readily apparent. So, first, you must be brutally honest with yourself. Keeping a journal will likely help. Then ask your doc for some extra time to discuss your limitations with you in preparation for your SSD application. (Relating the realities of your life isn't tantamount to whining.) Even if your doc is supportive of your application, and believes your disability is severe, he might not have an understanding of your daily functional limitations. And honestly, for the "suck it up and bear it" patients, you might be surprised how much of your life has changed...

This link explaining Residual Function Capacity is a must read IMHO:

http://disabilityblogger.blogspot.co...-residual.html

If you have legal representation ask them if they have their own Residual Functional Capacity forms, or if they use a different way to document your functional limitations.

If your filing without representation these forms might work for you. You doc might charge you a fee for his extra time since this is a special request.:

http://www.disabilitysecrets.com/rfcdownloadhome.html

The earlier in the process that you supply this type of indepth look at your disability, the better. But, if you're going to have an ALJ hearing, this info is extremely important so that the Voc Counselor and the ALJ can accurately determine if you might be able to perform "other work."

Regarding medications, document the effects and side effects. It's great for you that a med might reduce your pain, but if it causes you to sleep 12 hours a night and nap for another couple, that will effect your ability to work, and don't assume that this is just common sense. If more break through meds are required from activity, which again starts the cycle of additional drowsiness, this is important to address. It is also a good thing to supply a brief explanation of your meds. For example, if you take MSIR--write out Morphine Sulphate Instant Release. Or with a designer drug, such as Avinza or Kadian, include "Time Release Morphine."

5 step disability evaluation process
 
http://social-security.lawyers.com/s...isability.html

"Disability is determined using a five-step sequential evaluation process conducted by the SSA. If, at any point, an applicant is found not to be disabled, the evaluation process terminates and the claim for disability insurance benefits is denied. Following are the five requirments in determining disability:

•Substantial gainful activity. If the applicant is currently engaged in substantial gainful activity, there is no disability, regardless of medical condition, age, or work experience.
•Severe impairment. If the applicant is not engaged in substantial gainful activity, the SSA determines whether the applicant has a severe impairment. An impairment is considered "severe" if it significantly limits a person's physical or mental ability to do basic work activities. If there is a finding of severity, the evaluation proceeds to the third step.
•Listing of impairments. If the applicant's condition meets the requirements, or is the equivalent of a disability on the SSA's Listing of Impairments, then the applicant is ruled disabled. If the applicant does not meet the requirements, the sequential evaluation process continues to the fourth step.
•Past relevant work. A medical assessment is performed to determine whether the impairment prevents the applicant from performing his past relevant work. If the applicant is found to be able to perform past relevant work, the claim will be denied. If not, the evaluation process continues to the final step.
•Other work. The SSA evaluates whether the applicant can perform other available work existing in significant numbers in the national economy. The evaluation considers the applicant's residual functional capacity (what the applicant is able to do in a work setting despite the impairment), age, education, and past work experience. If an applicant cannot perform other work, they will be found disabled."

Quick approval
 
hey, I have a motor neuron disease and I also have a tremor, I have had these things since 2002. I kept working until 6 weeks ago, the whole time going from one specialist to another. It finally was time for me to quit my job and file for disability. I was scared, I have a family who counts on my income, but the way it is set up I had no choice but to quit, and pray that I would get approved quickly. Because it was very important to me, I first got all my records from the past 9 years and went to Fed-ex Kinko's and put all the medical records in a binder, with cover sheets between doctors with a picture of the doctor and all contact information on it. I did the whole application process on line, and my wife dropped off the binder the next day at the social security office. A week later I recieved a packet in the mail with a bunch of questions about my condition and how I spend my day. I then waited, and 29 days after my filing, I got a phone call from our local Social Security office that I was approved. I dont know why I was approved so fast, all I know is what I did. So if I had any advice it would be to work as long as you are able, if it looks like you are running in right after a diagnosis, you may be denied. Get someone to help filling out all the forms, and take breaks, they are long and fustrating, if you skimp at all you might be denied. And lastly, make it as easy as possible for them, do everything you can and more, the file will most likely be denied for any errors or half completed paperwork. Hopefully this helps someone, waiting is a scary time for sure and the less you have to wait the better.

I'm a Workman's Comp issue.....I called several Attorney's after I had not been "allowed" to work, 4 years..... Specifically SS Attorney's....For SSD....As I am not eligible for SSI because of the WC open claim......The first Attorney did give me a brief "free consultation" as working on a contingency basis....Then sent me a formal letter stating that if I did not hire her firm within 30 days, she would dismiss my file....Oh really, I said to self....Ultimatum>?....Not on my dime.....The second young lady was quite informative in the sense she offered much information the first did not volunteer to include letting me know that the SS Department would make an over the phone appointment with me and help me fill out that stack of paperwork...They ask you the questions and you answer them....They are filling out that paperwork physically, not you......And I quote, "It's their job to help you"......Which they did.....That way if something is left out...It's not totally on you as they must document every step.....The second Attorney also sent me 4 legal pages of information to include not settling with Workman's Comp by outright buy off...To continue with bi-weekly payments as what is being done to present.....That way one does not have to be totally destitute to be eligible for SSD and there won't be many up and down fluctuations of pay outs which can really mess with a life of keeping up a lifestyle and paying bills.......She also let me know that that SS Department would have to get Workman's Comp's permission for me to get medicaid after a minimum of 1 year.....In order to get total medical assistance.....Which is documented in the professional sense by way of their documentation....Not your word against theirs....In that telephone appointment with SS Department they quoted a 2 month span of time I would hear back with a decision which was not fact....Also, when dealing with them by way of phone....If you call....Call the National line....not the local one....Document who you speak to and tell them you're concern should be taken as a complaint...Even if it's just a question....That way whom ever you're speaking with "must" document that call by noting down your complaint or concern....And that will match your notes....Taking notes of to whom you speak is key....Have a separate not pad just for dealing with them.......Then as stated in prior messages here....Only seek Council after a denial or rejection and you must know the denial date for an Attorney to proceed...You must get that....Do not wait longer than 40 days to call the SS Department about what your status is as you are only allowed a 60 day period of time to submit an appeal....It is not uncommon for a case to be denied and somehow that client is not notified....If you do not hear any word for a substantial time, question that....Document, document, document.....As any government agency...They hire humans and some of those humans could care less....You are not their mother and their there just to make a living.....Do not believe for one minute that they waste one second of their precious time giving a hoot about you....You and only you can be responsible for the results going in a productive and positive manner...Best wishes for all.

There again, this is documented proof for your claim even though it comes from a free source. A medical document is just that, a medical document. It dose not matter where it came from or if you paid for it or didn't pay for it.

I am new to this site and there are some good suggestions. I have been suffering from severe back pain for years and i have had six back surgeries and four spinal chord implants. Every day is a strugle for me and it gets sickning. The medications i am taking are helping but what is it doing to my body in the long run? As far as Social security Disability they dont care about you one bit. The paper work over and over and over and the time it takes to get any response is just frustrating. It is just good to talk to somebody who understands what back problems are and how they affect you on a daily basis..:grouphug:

I am a disability examiner, and if more people could read this thread it would make my work (and their claims, ultimately) so much less painless!

May I add my two cents, from the "other" side of the process?

Being detailed on the activities of daily living form is so, SO helpful to us. Be as detailed as possible. Please please PLEASE write as legibly as you can, in dark pen. Don't cram too much onto one little line - if you want to write more, you can write or type something out on more paper and enclose it with your form. In fact, I'd much rather you do that then try to read tiny cramped handwriting squeezed into one line.

I will be honest - I know the form is a pain to fill out, especially for those poor folks with carpal tunnel or tremors or those who have mental illness which impedes concentration. Please try your best. Have a friend or relative help. They can fill out the form for you if you can't write. Take breaks and just tackle a few questions a day if you need to. Call your examiner with questions if you have them. But please don't write just one word answers or leave whole pages blank. "What do you do from the time you get up until the time you go to bed?" "Nothing". That is what many people write. It might be true, but how does that help me or your claim? Do you have to stay on the couch because of pain? Do you try to read but lack concentration? Do you do chores sitting down (on the days you feel up to doing chores)? Be specific! TELL ME WHY YOU CAN'T WORK. Show me a day in your life. So many illnesses and impairments have multiple symptoms and limitations; which ones apply to you?

The work history form - you may receive a form which asks you to describe your past work. Be detailed. If you were a truck driver, for example, don't just write "truck driver" and leave it at that. Were you a long-haul driver? A delivery driver? What did you deliver? Did you have to load and unload the truck? Did you have to do any maintenance on the truck? How long did you do it for? We need details. Again, as above, if you need more paper, add it on. How I explain it to my claimants - "Pretend I am absolutely clueless and take me through your day at work as if I have no idea what your job title is". :)

Keep in touch with your examiner. Maybe call him or her once a week or two, to see how things are going and to see if there is any additional information he or she needs. Sometimes doctor's offices take a while to send us records, but if the claimant calls the records "mysteriously" show up within a day or so :) Be involved in your claim! One thing that can prolong a claim - not sending in the forms, not returning calls. If we call you, please call us back!

Keep us updated with phone number changes and address changes. Make sure we can get in touch with you if we have to.

One big, big thing that prolongs so many people's cases - make sure I know which doctors you are seeing. I do not know this unless you tell me. Don't just list the specialists you see - who is your family doctor? Have you ever been to the ER? Are you seeing someone new now that you weren't seeing when you first applied? Update me! I have no way of knowing unless you tell me. SO many people forget to list all the doctors they are seeing. I want to hear from your doctor! I'd rather not send you to an exam if I can help it. Your doctor knows you and knows your history! If your doctor wants to write me a letter to advocate for your disability, great! I want it!

I hope that some of these tips help you in your journeys. I wish you all the best of luck!

My worker said that I do not need to be sent to a doctor, but only to a psychiatrist. Is this a good sign? I have had 5 surgeries since March of 2011, 3 of them were brain surgeries 1 was a cervical spine surgery and the other was a shunt revision. She said that normally she would send me to a physician, but now I only have to see the psychiatrist. Thanks...Deana

Hello, Did she really say that? and Why?

I have read, heard, and seen that sometimes it is good to visit a Psychiatrist while getting approved for disability. The only downside is that it will follow you in your medical history for life.

health insurance
life insurance etc.

You will perhaps have more risk since you have been under the care of a psychiatrist.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site, but it looks like a great one . The only problem is I'm in Canada, & wondering if anyone knows if theres much difference in your SSD & our Canada Pension Plan (Disiblity)??

I've been dealing with low back pain for almost 20 years now .I take narcodics every day & get nerve blocks (10years now) every 6 months. The combination of these help to keep the pain down to a level that alows me to live a fairly normal life .I work 6 days a week in a seasonal job, from May through Dec., I know my limits & try very hard not to over step them or I pay for it later.Last August I got up one morning & suddenly my left hand/.fingers were numb & tingly.

Thinking I must have laid on it the wrong way or something, I really didn't think much of it at the time, but when it didn't go away it kind of concerned me.Anyway ,almost a year later I still have the numb/tinglys, but it has gotten much worse & my right hand is the same now ,it has also gone up my arms.It's like having a tens machine on my hands 24/7.

After an MRI of my neck it shows I have no cartilage from C3-C6, which is causing this numbness,etc. in my hands.Recently I had to go to the ER for terrible pain in my right knee,after xrays it showed I also have no cartlige in the inside of my knees & I started getting numbness/tingling in my right foot.I has progressed to the toes & within the past week I can feel the tinglys starting in my left foot.

I am loaded with Arthritis throughout my body & its causing havoc with my body!!I'm taking so much medication, finding it hard to keep up with my job,mainly because of my hands not working right for me, & now having much difficulty with my walking, going up & down stairs.I have problems with balance, forever tripping myself up,falling up the stairs & really have to watch going down them.
This whole thing is starting to drive me crazy ,not to mention the pain & numbness,etc.I am waiting to see specialists,& surgeons but it seems to be taking forever!! I believe by the end of my season I'm not going to be able to work any longer ,if I make it that far, & was wondering if anyone knows if our CPPD is like your SSD??
I don't .know what I'll do financially, for the lenght of time your saying it can take you,until I find out if I'm excepted or not! I'm just a little more then a little scared!This has been a long one guys, Thanks for letting me vent,lol !!

I just recently filed for Disability in Georgia. I filled out all of the paperwork online, filling out everything they needed to know. The only thing that they need they said is my W2 for last year. I was straight to the point on what my medical conditions were, the treatments I have already been through, the medicine I was on, my work history and so forth.

My question is will they call my doctors to verify everything I've said? My nurse told me that they would do that.

They know a lot more about this stuff than I do. When I decided to file for my SSDI; I did not research any at all. I went at it blindfolded you might say. I had not hired a lawyer to start with so I had no legal advice on an SSDI claim at all. I simply went to the SSA office and filed the paper work. I signed several forms giving the SSA permission to get my medical records thinking this was enough.
This positively will not get the job done.

1. If you have several medical problems as I do, you need to list in detail each and every one of them on the initial claim or the appeal form.

2. For each and every medical problem you list on the claim or appeal form, make sure you present copies of medical records to back up each problem including any x-rays. Your hospital or doctor can not refuse to give you copies of your records or x-rays. Don’t let them tell you they can’t. Present these records to SSA at the time of your claim or appeal. I didn’t do this. SSA does not accept word of mouth or the fact that something is written on the claim.

3. List all medications you take, the name of the drug, your prescribed dosage and any side effects the medication may cause. Some medication may cause side effects on you that they don’t normally cause on other people. Don't leave anything out.

4. This is very important; I think this is where I failed. On each and every question on the form, go deep into detail. Again, don't leave anything out. I figured that the records would provide the details so I answered most of the questions with the shortest answer possible. Wrong.

5. Be honest on your claim and don't tell a fib. I'm not saying that I lied on my application but I have read in another forum where someone got caught in a couple of lies and was denied. Their lawyer refused to represent them anymore in their appeal because they were being dishonest.

This initial application or the appeal is very long and takes a while to finish. Don't make the mistake I did. Whether you are filing for the first time or filing your appeal, take your time and answer each question with all the details you possibly can. Believe me; this will benefit you greatly in the long run. In my opinion and I could be wrong, but a lawyer is not necessary until when and if you are denied the first time. Then I would definitely get legal advice. I just believe that if you do the 5 things listed above, you will stand a lot better chance of winning your claim. And last but not least, SSA does not get in a hurry by any means. Don't expect an answer in a short time period. Some people get an answer in as little as 4 to 6 months, then again some people wait for as much as 5 to 7 years.



I agree with you. If you are under the age of 60 and don't have a condition that is a simple box to check, consult a lawyer. They don't get paid unless you win and they can be helpful from the start. Even a small chance you won't need to appeal and you get approved first time around.

Don't start your claim unprepared
 
I just wanted to pop in and say a HUGE thank you for this thread. I should have done this months ago, but for some reason or another, I just didn't do it.

I believe it is because of this thread that I was approved for SSDI within 5 months of submitting my claim! No lawyer was needed, I only had to fix a little hiccup in the paper shuffling game.

I was really prepared to have to go the distance to get approved. I didn't know how I would have survived with no money coming in, but I knew I would somehow make it. I always land on my feet. :D

I won't say that filing the right application with the right amount of information wasn't stressful, but this thread made it so much easier for me than if I went after SSDI without so much as a clue as to what I was doing.

I feel badly for all of you who have had to fight tooth and nail for your SSDI. I'm not trying to gloat, I'm just trying to let others know that if they take the good advice about being prepared and how to fill out the application, their situation should go quite smoothly.

Take good care everyone!

Meeting the requirements of a listed impairment is only one of the 3 ways to be found eligible for SSI/SSDI as I posted about earlier in the thread.

Applicants should review the Blue Book regardless, to help them understand what SS is interested in having them document.
