If you go through the Voc Rehab process they will pay for doc visits, testing, etc.
Are you possibly eligible for Medicaid? Some pysch docs work on a sliding scale. You way want to also check into a pain support group. By therapist do you mean physical therapist? The opinions of docs are what count. Supplemental might help a little--with a tough ALJ, he/she will likely ignore them completely--and they can legally get away with it. The deck maybe stacked against you, but it doesn't mean you won't prevail (even with this ALJ). |

I think I understand your frustration regarding obtaining disability. Have you spoken with your attorney regarding an appeal? Of course, this all takes considerable time.
I do understand the financial aspects regarding finances. Earn just a bit too much money, but not enough money to pay bills. I wish you well. Israel |

It was explained to me that if we decline additional recommended treatments, we are giving the SSA the impression that our conditions are well managed. What one could see as not being able to afford copays, they can interpret as being satisfied with your current treatment. If they see that you are not seeing the other doc for the depression, their conclusion can be that you are satisfied with your current depression treatment, which implies to SS that it cannot be severe. If your current doctor believes that your depression is severe, he could have you committed to a psych facility against your will.....that bypasses the copays for now. It's difficult to even guess at the specifics, because we don't know the specifics of your case. Lit Love has provided a lot of advice in this and your other threads about trying to access services and help. I hope that you can find some help.
