How does your diabetes and high blood pressure keep you from working? What functional limitations do you claim from a broken hip and femur from 9 years ago? How long are you able to sit and stand--documented either by a Functional Capacity Evaluation or claimed by a doctor backed up with significant medical documentation? Do you use a Cpap machine at night while you sleep? Have you seen a spine surgeon? Has surgery been recommended for your pinched nerves? Have you done any physical therapy? |

You have the burden to prove you qualify for SSI/SSDI regardless if you have insurance or not. You should sit down and write out which of your impairments effect your ability to work starting from the most severe to the least--use that list when you fill out SS paperwork, concentrating your energy on the most severe. |

If someone was approved that is capable of performing an unskilled, sedentary job, then they slipped through the cracks. If a person's health has improved since qualifying for SSI/SSDI and they can now work, then they have a legal responsibility to notify SS. I highly doubt 80% of those receiving SSI/SSDI under the age of 55 are capable of performing an unskilled, sedentary job. |

If you live in a state where you're not eligible for Medicaid, then perhaps see if there is a teaching hospital that will help you--many have charitable programs. You could start by calling the Red Cross. Another option is Vocational Rehabilitation Services. They will send you to their own docs to determine if you have functional limitations to see if there is work you're capable of. |
