Re: To those who get SSDI: yardwork question

SSD and Workers comp  send out spies to spy on you . alst summer there was a car

sitting on my street for a while . I called the police and after they checked

the person out, they told me it was a PI  working for SS to check on people .

they were watching me. I was having a roof put on at the time,and they were

checking to see what I was doing . all they saw was me on the ground talking to

one of the guys ..    BE CAREFUL >>>>

I receive SSDI, I have for about a year now after a long 2.5 year

battle. Yesterday I cut out some weeds on the edge of our property,

not real back breaking work, other than it was real hot so I took it

slow. My Wife went ballistic when I told her. She knows how hard we

fought for the SS and we really need it. She's concerned a nosey

neighbor would see and when my review comes up in 2 years it will go

against me. My reply to that was they can also say, they almost

never see me outside the house, other than to get in the car. If you

receive SSDI or any other help, are you extra cautious of not being

seen doing any type of work, or play? I understand her concern, but

I also think there is a grey area where we can be disabled but still

show signs of life. Are you or your spouse cautious about what you

are seen doing? Thanks, Dave

I am not an expert on this by any means but I would have thought that going

on disability was to provide you with time to get better not to just crawl

into a bed and die???

By the way did you use a lawyer to get your SSDI??? My doctor has

recommended that I start down that road. I know it is hard but two and a half

years

sounds really tough..

Hi Smokie! Really?? Wow, I remember when I was on WC I had so many

spies it wasn't funny. I recall telling my lawyer that I was going

to have a chair put out in front so I could sit there with

binoculars and watch them back, lol, he advised me against that.

Said don't egg them on. I lived at the time off of a dead end on a

culdesac so the PI's were obvious and my neighbor had called on one

occassion and found out the same thing, once he approached the car,

thinking he was being watched and was told that they were there

watching me, not him. I didn't realize that SS did the same thing,

not that I'm doing anything, but still...good to know! Thanks for

the info.

Yes I did. I used Binder and Binder from the TV ads. They worked

for me. The reason for the time length was waiting to get on the

docket for my initial hearing, and then my second hearing where I

contested their denial. My understanding is 85-90% are denied on the

1st try. I also hear that it is very hard to win without a

lawyer. They work on a contingency basis and their fees are capped

at $4200 I think. The time lag varies from state to state. I've

heard of some people winning their case in 6 months. PA has a long

wait list. Ask away if you have more questions. Dave

Yes I did. I used Binder and Binder from the TV ads. They worked

for me. The reason for the time length was waiting to get on the

docket for my initial hearing, and then my second hearing where I

contested their denial. My understanding is 85-90% are denied on the

1st try. I also hear that it is very hard to win without a

lawyer. They work on a contingency basis and their fees are capped

at $4200 I think. The time lag varies from state to state. I've

heard of some people winning their case in 6 months. PA has a long

wait list. Ask away if you have more questions. Dave

I applied for SSDI and didn " t use a lawyer. It took me less than 4 months to get

qualified and receive my checks. Each state may have their own requirements. I

was denied the first time, and appealed, and even with that, I did it myself

without the aid of any legal help and it still only took 4 months. I wasn't

eligible for SSI, based on my husband's income. I just had all my paperwork in

order, and maybe luck was on my side, but you do not have to hire an attorney,

at least in the state of Nevada.

for one that  does SS work as  a specialty . I have heard BAD things about
