I don't believe Janke is judging you at all.
I understand the process is incredibly stressful, it took me a very long time and SS made several major errors. If you had worked for 5 years and had a serious injury at 21 or 23, that kept you from ever working again, you would have been no less deserving of SSDI. It's actually much more difficult to be approved when you're younger, and obviously they generally have fewer resources to fall back on when it happens. I was lucky enough to have financial support from my family, or I would have had to turn to public assistance or been homeless. There are ALJ's that are too tough and there are ones that are too lenient. Neither scenario is good. They should be following the law. Even when they do, it is still can be very difficult to determine because some of the issues are subjective. Janke is the most knowledgable person about SSI and SSDI that regularly posts on NT, and is a tremendous resource. I know it can be easier said than done, but if you can try and look at the process without involving your emotions, it can help. It took me years to get to that place, lol. My mother broke down bawling in the court room when I received an on the record decision, whereas I was essentionaly shut down since I would have gone crazy (and not been as well prepared) if I had allowed myself to stress. I hope I haven't offended you, it was not my intent. |

Hi everyone
I have had to do some edits as per our guidelines on becoming political in posts as well as flaming other members. I am going to have to ask that members please remember the guidelines when posting and treat each other with respect. These forums are supposed to be a safe haven for people to come and ask questions, discuss problems and offer support. thanks
