I got SSI the first time and everything you did was what I did with a

little more.

SSI publications you can download on the SSI website and others. The

evidentiary findings, listing of disabilities, source documentations

listings,and other resources and forms are all on the internet and the website

for free.

That website should be you guiding light as that is what I used along

with letters from my co-workers, families, and friends to document my

changes.

I also got a copy of my job description, the Oswalt disability scale, my pain

diary, and addressed all the things I could no longer do.

I went to the websites and got the definition of all the symptoms I was

diagnosed.

It can be a long and frustrating process. The woman we had at the disability

office was awesome.

A few weeks after my husband filed he got a long (like maybe ten pages) form to

fill out on daily activities.

It almost seemed repetative, but we left no blank answers. My husband got it on

the first try and within 90 days of applying. Which we were thrilled, it came

just in time. We had no income! I could not work, because I had to take care of

him.

I am sure that you will get some papers to fill out, make sure to get them right

back out and copy them. That way if there are any problems, you have a record.

It sounds like you had everything ready for them and you should do fine. good

luck and keep us posted.

I'm glad you got it started and it sounds like you did it right. Mine went

through on the first time. But I sat and went over mine for 3 days making sure

every thing was right on it There was not enough room on it to list all the

doctors so I picked the 3 that I was or had seen in the last year that I was

sure they were the most for me. A lot of people say they don’t even check

with the doctors but they check the 3 I listed and one I didn’t list. They

got his name from my records for one of the other doctors

It sure takes a load off you when you get the paper from them thats says you

made it

Good luck!!

Dear and to the room I have a rather un-easy question to put out to the

group.

I have never tried nor will I try to apply for SSI I get mine though the

Veterans Affairs, so here's the question.

I have a really close friend who is a female that has a really bad back due to a

car accident and applied for SSI in the state of New York because of it.

She met a new boy friend and low and behold she got pregnant within a short

period of time in meeting him and had the child while the claim was pending.

Her Claim for SSI do to her bad back was denied in two parts;

1 - That if she capable of having sex with a bad back than its not that bad at

all to work.

2 - If you can go though child birth than you don't have a bad back.

I find it hard to believe, but in part I think the state is right in there

judgment. Oh she was 33 years old

Rob,

I can see where the state would find the judgment against her. Had she made an

attempt to go back to work? My husband made about 6 attempts (only staying for a

few months at a time at each job and this was over a one year period) and he

pretty much showed them he attempted and can not do the job/jobs he applied for.

It's a tough call on their part, they are trying to eliminate fraud. What she

needs to do is appeal, appeal, appeal. Do not let her reapply, because she will

have to start from square one.

Good luck to her and keep us updated.

My husband downloaded the worksheets off the web, There were some in

there asking about the things I could no longer do.

I can't remember how many I filled out but there were several. By

the time we got done there were 37 pages of worksheets. Some asked

if I fixed meals and how many times a month I fixed them. It also

went as far as having me tell what I fixed.

So they were very detailed worksheets that I filled out. On the

sleeping question I even put down how I even dream of being in pain

and waking in pain. I also put down that I could no longer lay on my

right side. I tried to put everything thing I could think of on

those worksheets.

So I was pretty detailed in describing how it affected my everyday

life. My husband went over them and put in things that I hadn't

thought of.

He even went as far as downloading a c.d with his data base he built

about my condition. That way if they needed to find something they

could. The guy told him that was ok he didn't think he needed it.

My husband is very anal about things so with his help one way or

another I will get my disability.

So will be crossing my fingers.
