Guest guest Posted May 15, 2002 Report Share Posted May 15, 2002 To All My Very Special Friends, Today at social security court I won my case. The hearing lasted 5 minutes, I didn't have to say a word. They had a Rheumy there who said the RA was bad. My primary came through for me. He wrote a very strong letter in my favor. He even said that with the Whipple the recovery had not gone as well as expected. It has been very complicated and stormy. So my buddy did come through for me., Thanks to all of you for your prayers and candles. I still have to fight the worker compensation battle. But as of right now it is one down and one to go. I also will be able to go right onto medicare, since the judge said I have been disabled since 1998. Thanks guys,my love to all of you.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2002 Report Share Posted May 18, 2002 Being new here am sorry to ask... but does this mean you won SSD ??? if so you will need a back up second ins. to pick up the slack from medicare and meds unless you are poor enough to get a state paid back up for meds and the 20% ... either way its a lot cheaper than payin it all... 6 years is a long time did you have a lawyer? karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2002 Report Share Posted May 19, 2002 Hi , I couldn't get back to the list, we are having computer problems. I am soooo glad this part of my battle is over. I still have the fight with wc though, so I will see what happens. I saw the new ortho doctor. He wants to do an MRI right away on the neck. He told me, he doesn't think there will be any easy answers for the problems. He didn't even seem to care about the RA, which was a relief. I was afraid he was going to say you have RA. He did ask if wc was giving me a hard time. That was a big yes. Right now I am trying to find out about medicare and what other insurance I will need.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2002 Report Share Posted May 19, 2002 Lynn, Since Medicare does NOT pay for prescriptions, it may be a good idea to keep your other insurance if you possibly can. When got his MRI's the doctor had the report in 3 days. They read them right away, but by the time the report gets to the doctor, it's a few days unless it's an emergency situation. a > Guess I jumped answering you note. The judge is now looking at my WC.
