I'm not sure why this happened cuz I'm LOW & there are symptoms and subdiagnoses and a secondary diagnosis that have ssa codes. I kept telling the ppl my LTD hired to do my original app to list only all terms consistent with ssa but they first listed terms that don't have ssa codes. After getting it on the first try, I thought the ppl helping me knew what they were doing. But now it's a problem for me, because what I actually was approved for is a vague code(which they know, and I don't know why they don't word the item as "list your last 3 appointments dates for the disability for which u were awarded ssdi"). So I don't know what to put in the boxes that they don't already know or that they were told but they only listed that there is no ssa name for it. So t be consistent with what exactly is listed as my reason for award, I'd have to say something like nonamed documented disability!!!!! That's the problem. Trust me, I'm way sick and they know it, cuz my profile score is well under 0100 & almost every system in my body is affected. I just got more bad news from one of my docs & actually should have gone to the ER the past two days for a potentially serious complication but I have to get this done. I could write "help staying alive" or "dodging bullets." There's officially no name but evidence I won't get well! I have searched everywhere for what to fill in as reasons for my visits. I hope this helps clarify. Thank you very much

I followed the instructions of the helpful people on this forum and told the truth. Unfortunately my health has taken a turn for the worse but I am out in the world still walking, breathing and free. Though I can forget this for awhile hopefully... I hope that everyone else gets through well too. My answer took near 4 months.

May your God/Gods be with you
