Re: Social Security Medical Exam

Dorothy - glad to hear you didn't get *poked*. I don't know what

state you reside in, but here in FL, the rule of thumb seems to be

to plan on two automatic denials and then a hearing before a SS Admin

judge. Waste of taxpayer money and a lot of unnecessary stress for the

disabled, IMHO. I have a SS Attorney and we're *still* waiting for a

hearing date - Its been over two years since my original application.

Hi, Dorothy! I just read last week, that six new judges are assigned

to handle the huge back log of SS cases here in New York State.

Unfortunately, not one for Rochester...we still need to travel to

Buffalo. gentle hugs! Marcia

---What do you mean poke during a ss exam. I am in ssi but it took a

long time. My son n law was dying, he waited 2 years for disability,

He kept getting denied. He had a quadrouple by pass, he weighed 400

pounds, he had congistive heart failure. I am so sorry to say he

passed away before he got approved. He was never approved. How can

they not approve someone whom is dying for social security disabilty??

I can't understand this.

Clora - I was having a SS Medical Exam done and the " nurse " poked me in

the stomach twice and said " that's why you can't breathe " - during the

same exam the " doctor " had me lay on my back on one of those narrow

tables and flat out refused to give me a hands up when I asked!! I've

been waiting for Social Security Disability for over two years now. I

can't help but feel that they do drag their feet hoping people will die

off before they have to pay out any money. I'm sorry to hear about

your SIL - my prayers go out to your daughter and family. I agree with

Dorothy, though. Award temporary benefits until the person has

completed the SS " process " . I'm sure they'd never have a " backlog "

then!!
