Re: Re: New here! Any advice for SSDI Applications? Been denied for past 2 1/2 yrs.

[Guest guest]

I was told that because I am a single mother and because I HAVE TO take care of

my daughter, then I must not be disabled. He also mentioned that because I take

1 class at college, 3 hours per week, handicap acessible parking, elevators, and

all, that I should be able to work full time doing something.

Hi , Yes-appeal. From what I understand they deny most everyone the first

time. Hopefully your appeal will work and you will receive SSDI. '

Where in Mass do you live? I was born in Mass. Take care
