Here is a good example of how a minor oversight on the part of an applicant can adversely effect benefits.

I applied June 2011 and was approved mid-August 2011. No attorney. 1st application.

I was approved first time, no lawyer. It was about 3-1/2 months from application to approval. This was in 2010. My letter said it will be 5-7 years before I will be up for recheck (or whatever it is called!).

I am not sure why one person gets approved imediately, and another with equally devistating health, it takes three years or more. I was of the later, and believe me, I do not think I would have been able to get it without the lawyer. My state is crowded with older people applying. (fl.) Maybe it depends on the case loads of the particular state, I don't know. I have a permanent spinal condition, and degenerative joint disease in my ankles. Even with both these factors, it was a trial. People who get things like cancer are often denied. I would like to know what the critieria is that these judges and Government agiencies "judge" us by. I don't know anyone who has applied, who has tried to "fake" it or pull a fast one. Most people I know are devistated at not being able to work, and fighting for their existance on the other hand. You may be the first I heard of that was granted the disability so quickly. I am happy you did not have to struggle through the denials, doctor appts. and psych evaluations that most have to abide by. The process is difficult for most people I have met. I wish you all the best. Living with the disability is hard enough! take care, ginnie

Cancer patients often return to work in less than 12 months. There are people who lie and fake disability, even if you haven't met them. One out of three claims are approved on the initial application, thousands a month, nationwide. |

thanks Janke for the reply. I knew there were laws, just not that specified each particular illness. I am glad there is a process and all, but it just seems so many on are site are struggling to get their dissability, with some pretty terrible disabilites. just didn't think that many would try to slip one by. When you are dealing with the Gov. you best tell the truth. I guess thats even more important. Medical records don't tell lies as a rule, even if people do. ginnie
