what is your disability that you are applying for? Did you have a lawyer? What were the reasons for denying you?

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. |
