We are going thru the identical set of emotions. Oh how I can relate regarding researching the laws and having the process consume your every moment. The way I look at it, my life came to a standstill in 2004 when I filed for disability. Of my waking 16 hours a day, 14 are consumed with the case. I don't feel my attorney is doing enough. I don't feel my congressman who I have asked for help is doing enough. I feel the judge was unfair in his decision, considering only the damming evidence, and not the entire facts of the case. For the first time in my life, I feel that this situation is out of my hands and I have no control whatsoever. It is a helpless feeling. I like to think of myself as reasonably intelligent and pro active in all areas of my life. The Social Security Disability process is a slap in the face and degrading. I have one doctor's appt today and one on Satruday (ordered by Social Security). Then my hearing SHOULD be scheduled for probably early January. Then a decision I would guess by the last time would be by August (yes, 7 months for a decision the last time). Either way, this will be my last hoorah. I have made a decision that if I am denied again, I will not appeal. If I continue the fight after that, I feel that I will die a bitter and hateful man as I am 55 years old now. If denied, I will try to work 12 hours a week. That will pay my expenses as my house has been paid off since 2002. It will barely make ends meet. The only advice I can give you is continue the fight until there is no more fight in you. Getting on this site has helped somewhat. Always communicating with people with the same issues is theraputic. I will keep you informed and you do the same. Russ :-) |
