freaking out!!!
oh i can't even seem to post correctly and i am soooo scared i had my psychologist help me fill out my update report...the 6 question ssdi form, and we corrected the phone number on the front page and now it will get kicked out and go to a person and then i am going to get the long form aren't i? i want to cry ....cognitive disorders do not help

hold on "granny"i know how you are feeling .its a big panic attack.its will make you hasty and over react..i have been there many times(and still am).you can still write us as many times as you like.just try and bring yourself down.we are here for you

yes, but I let her finish filling it out for me because I was freaking out and she didn't stay inside the boxes, and didn't put what I saw dr's for she listed the doctors and wrote outside of those boxes, the rest were yes and no boxes and now I will probably get the long form in the mail......I was approved after being denied the first time and I got lawyers and then I was approved and I didn't have to see a judge because he wrote that he reviewed and at my age and the lack of jobs, there would be no way I could get a job at my level , but I was listed as could possible get better, then I got the short form and I didn't know what that meant...I thought that was the start of the whole mess all over again........is there anybody that messed up on the short form and they called u for information or sent u another short form, I mean part of my diagnosis was a cognitive disorder from an aneurysm I had coiled and things just don't make sense to ma a lot of the time

Have you mailed it yet? If not, than I would suggest you call your local SS office and ask for a replacement. I believe they send out another copy if you fail to respond as well.

Getting the long form isn't ideal, but if you are still receiving medical care and your condition hasn't improved, you will likely not have a problem, but it is more work.

You saw this link? http://nymakesworkpay.org/docs/Guide_CDR.pdf

yes but I saw it too late, I panicked when I got the form and called my nuerologist but he ws not in so I call my psych and was in such a major paic she said she would help me out and she mailed it this past month, there is no way to get it back is there ? I want to cry and I can't sleep and I see an ENT in the morning for a terrible fall I took, haven't been using my walker......I did send an email to the disability lawyers I used last time to get ssdi in the first place, I was supposed to see a judge, but he wrote our a letter as to why I should have full approval, will that come in handy to use? I didn't have to see him
I am sorry if I don't make sense

I didn't understand short form I though it was something they send before they start the whole process over again

If you mailed it, than just try to put it out of your mind!

Can I ask your age?

53 and I was falling apart so I called the 1-800 number for soc sec and she said a letter will be sent to me on the 7th or 17th of this month saying they will not be doing a full review and will be going off what they already have so I asked no full and not like starting over? and she said no. she said I could send anything else if I want to cover myself, but I think the letter from judge explains pretty well, do u think they will look at that, or should I send that and new dr who diagnosed me with cervical dystonia or leave well enough alone?

the long form is the full review right? I guess I can look for that answer lol ty for your responses and help, I appreciate it

The long form is a review, but it's not like going through the whole approval process again, if that's your concern.

It certainly sounds like you are current with your visits with multiple MD's. If you are following their treatment plans (aside from that cheat with not using your walker, a mistake that I hope you've learned not to do again ) and your prognosis has not dramatically improved, you SHOULD be okay.

It's so common for any one of us on disability to panic over a review. If mental health issues or cognitive issues are part of our problems, it can be even more overwhelming. As hard as it is, try to relax about it. If the long form comes, it comes. Worrying yourself sick about that prospect won't change the outcome. You've already proven to the SSA that you are disabled, now they are just inquiring if you have improved. It sounds like your docs are very supportive. You can ask one of them for help with the long form if you do end up getting it.

Please don't beat yourself up for "messing up" the short form. You did the best you could when you weren't sure that you could fill it out by yourself. If you were a real pro at all of this, with the knowledge and ability to do it all easily, you could probably work in the field . You had difficulty with the form BECAUSE you are disabled.

Give it some time. I hope that you'll find you worried for nothing. If you do end up getting the long form, check back here if you need some advice with it and follow through with your medical team or a trusted family member or friend if you need help filling it out.

Take care Granny K. Sending calming thoughts your way
