Re: a new name for CFS, ME/CFS

[Guest guest]

I'm going to mention ME to my neuro next Tuesday and see what he

says. Most time he just looks at me like I intimidate him. Seems

we all would be diagnosed with ME/CFS for a start of a diagnoses.

I can't remember if I posted yet that I got a letter yesterday saying

that my retirement disability will be retroactive to Jan. 1 so I get

a paycheck for the no paycheck from employer for Jan. I may have

posted this but now waiting to know when my first paycheck will

arrive. I was told by someone that has friends apply for SSDI and

State disabiity that if I apply for SSDI and have the retirement

disability that the SSDI will be lower. I wish I knew more about

this. Anyone here applied for both? I know the retirement disablity

was calculated somehow to up to age 65 or 67 so I get more money than

I would have with normal retirement pension.

They lowered my SSDI because of my disability.

Did you SSDI amount lower b/c you are getting retirement disability

also? I'll apply b/c anything that I can get will help even if

reduced. I have a printout that calculates what I would get if

disabled. Do you think that being approved by the State Med. Bd will

help my chances of getting approved with SSDI? I know with SSDI you

have to prove you aren't able to do any type of job. Were you turned

down several times and have to get an attorney to get approved for

SSDI?
