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.

Wish I would of thought of the binder idea..that is great. Maybe put a sticky note on the SSDI forum I did provide good addresses, names, telephone numbers for all husbands doctors on the adult disability report. We shall see.
