applying for disability

[Guest guest]

,

I'm surprised they even took your old records into consideration.

I was told that once your off disability for more then one year

you must re-apply as if your problem never existed...they too lost

my old records from twenty years ago. At age 28 I was on disability

for about two years and when the SSA did a follow up check on me and

I told them I took aspirins for pain , they said I WAS CURED (GLORY BE!!

!!!!!!) I was young and stupid not to appeal. But I really did want to

work. I had good and bad days,but over the years the CMT has advanced

into my arms and hands,and now at 49 I can no longer do what I used to

do. Of course the keys words are I can no longer be gainfully employed.

Thanks for your input....
