Do not give up with getting the benefits. I just read what is wrong physically, they will not deny you if you have to go as far as court. He has trouble walking as I do. I also had the spinal fusions. I got the benefits at my court date. If I did, there is no reason why he should be denied. Have your PCP write a letter telling of his medical conditions. That letter I had helped me at the court date. The judge brought that letter up, stating that I was 100% disabled, and not able to walk or stand for long periods of time. I wish you all the best. ginnie

Here is the listing of SSDI adult musculoskeletal impairments and qualifications: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/disabi...etal-Adult.htm After reading this, you might have a better idea of whether or not your hubby qualifies under SSDI's definition.

If there is a positive about being denied the first time,it gives you more time to prove your case plus find other potential impairments. The first time around,its rush rush and you may have forgotten something. Too much information the second time around,is a good thing. |

Advanced age, according to SS, is 55 or older. OP's hubby is 54 -- so he is "closely approaching advanced age". AND he has a college degree. BTW, "light work" is up to 20 lbs. Check out this grid:
http://www.ultimatedisabilityguide.com/grid_rules.html Ya'll, I'm NOT against you --- I don't WANT to be the bearer of bad news. I'm just telling you what THEY (SS) are "thinking". I dunno -- unless the docs have something else to say and will DOCUMENT -- or the OP's hubby files again AFTER age 55.................... I "think" this is what often happens when you don't have EXACTLY what is SPELLED out in the Adult Impairments List -- and your doctor's records don't have the right "language".
