Guest guest Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 , Yes and no. Once approved he will be paid retroactive benefits but SSDI does not begin until 5 full months after you file. He may get retroactive SSI back to the filing date. It all depends on his income during that time. Many conditions qualify the applicant for almost immediate approval. I hope this helps, Jane H.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hi Jane, how are you feeling? we have been thru heart tests on dave. Finally it comes out he is sort of alright. He did have a heart attack, but did good on his stress test, and no further testing and no stents or anything for now! Phew phew. Me i have been going to a gyno with a big mess. Ok that sort of does help with our friend. The thing is, i hope he lives that long. I mean i'm in denial, because i dont want to think the worst. He has no income because he's unemployed, but had to stop the unemployment, because He's NOT available to work(cause he's so sick)So he's trying to switch over to ssi, or ssdi. So he's in a pickle for sure. I'll check back in tommorrow on the board to see how your doing? cindy > > , > > Yes and no.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Certain illnesses automatically qualify a person for disability. I believe there is no waiting on checks when a person has a terminal illness. After all, what good would they do a person if they aren't living?

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 , It's good to hear from you. I am sorry about your and Dave's troubles. I can relate as my companion has had 2 heart attacks (1 since we have been together) and multiple stints and angioplasty. I am doing much better emotionally and mentally since my disability was approved. Physically I am getting somewhat worse. I now have permanent numbness in 1/2 of my left hand and into arm. It is cold here in GA.. Today it has drizzled rain all day. Take care, Jane H. > > From: and Dave <woody1014@...> > Subject: Disability question? need answer soon.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 There is a list of conditions that qualify automatically for SSDI. Sadly they are still dependent on a person at SSA to make that decision. I have had several friends die with HIV and aids before they drew their first check. I also know people that were dying with cancer who died before being approved. Our nation needs to do better for it's taxpaying citizens. How are you doing? Everyone has been so quiet lately I thought I had been kicked out of the group. LOL Jane H. From: Jennette <rosetazoriginal@...> Subject: Re: Disability question? need answer soon.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Jennette, well the fellow that our friend was talking to at the ssdi told him, most people with his condition dont live to collect it. Gosh i hope your right jennette. He has a wife with a rare bone disease, she has such an odd thing, she flies down to NIH as a test subject. Course we are in maine, and are all poor. The factory closed and put him and dave too out of work. Plus tons of other people. I hope he can get it right away. cindy > > Certain illnesses automatically qualify a person for disability.
