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. |

Lit Love,
wouldnt about 80 percent of the people on ssdi be able to do a sedentary job if ssdi really wanted to get rid of people? Quote:

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. |

Lit Love,
what type of disabilities do you think people could still do a desk job and what type of disabilities do you think people wouldnt be able to do a desk job. Just a few examples off the top of your head. I only ask this to get a better understanding of ssdi thanks |

One person with a diagnosis might have functional limitations that make it impossible for them to work any job, while another with the same diagnosis is capable of working, so I'm not going to give random examples. You can research the Blue Book if you wish which explains the qualifications required for a claimant to be approved with a Listed Impairment. Anyone that meets the qualifications of a Listed Impairment has such severe functional limitations that it is assumed that they are not capable of working at the SGA level (making $1090 per month). |

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. |
