Guest guest Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I first applied for disability in April 2011, I was denied so I hired a lawyer who continues to fight for mine. I think hiring a lawyer is the best thing to do. Persistance is important. Once approved you will receive benefits from the time you first applied. To: tetheredspinalcord From: glyndawarren82@...

I know someone who had botched carpel tunnel surgery and could not work. It took like 2 years, many vocation classes to see if she could work and many doctor and PT testimonials for her to get everything sorted out. She hired a lawyer to get the claim put through and then the rest of the 2 years was getting her wages to what they are supposed to be and getting all the back pay in her vacation bank and other things her employer tried to keep from her. Press hard and keep at it. I think a Lawyer or an advocate would help move the processes along. Good luck and God bless. > > > > Subject: RE: Disability > To: tetheredspinalcord > Date: Saturday, February 25, 2012, 1:46 PM > > > > Hi Kellie -- what type of disability were you denied? Don't get discouraged -- it is all too common. I was denied LTD after the 2 year mark and had to get a lawyer to help me out and I won my case after a discovery. Then I was denied CPP disability (Canada Pension Plan) which is normal, appealed and was denied again. I was finally accepted right before my tribunal hearing. I would recommend getting an advocate or lawyer to help with your appeal. Don't take this personally -- it doesn't mean you are not entitled to benefits. Often the wording of the documentation makes the difference of being accepted or not.

I am going to dispute it of course. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I was able to get Social Security after I hired a lawyer. It just may be they turn people down the 1st time, especially if you are younger than 50 or so.
