Penny, These places can help you but my advice is to hire a lawyer who

specializes in SS. They wont take your case unless they feel they can win

and they have set guidelines for what they can charge, Most of these lawyers

will want to see your first 2 letters of denial from SS and also a letter

from a doctor saying that you are permanently disabled before they will take

your case. I feel other wise you may get bogged down in system.....Judy in Az

I have applied and already been rejected for SSI. My Rheum says this

is standard procedure to be rejected the first time. She also says

95% of the people (her pts) are rejected the second time...then you

hire a lawyer and it gets approved. My Rheum filled out the initial

portion of the paperwork, then I did all the rest..collected as much

info as I could from every Doc I have seen and every lab test and

procedure result I could get my hands on. I also wrote my own saga in

a letter.

My Rheum said the rejection letters are just standard. Isn't that

irritating....to go to so much work and for nothing (at least for

now). The rejection letter said very stupid things like: evidence

shows that because of my age/38 I'm capable of standing or sitting

for 6 hrs at a time...what a JOKE!! If that was the case I WOULD be

at work!

And due to my education (I'm an RN) that I should be able to find

other work or be retrained. How frustrating. I guess they hope you

will just give up and go away. NOT ME!!! They've got another thing

coming!

Boy...that was LONG winded!

I'll keep you posted as to what happens.

Hi Penny,

I just received ssd and I can tell you to go and get a lawyer. One that

deals with social security. It can be a long hard process and a lawyer is

beneficial. I was glad I had the services of an attorney.

Hi ,

Sounds like you are taking the right steps. Your doctor is right. I

just received disability after a six year battle with it. Don't let that

scare you, my file was lost for 17 months. I went into court with reports

from 19 doctors. I won but be prepared to be turned down a few times. Than

again you might be one of the lucky ones who get approved right away.

Sometimes I think it is all up to the judges mood that day. Good Luck,
