Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Glad your doc was able to reassure you about some stuff. I feel it's all going to work out in the end.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Angie -- I am not sure whether the doc or anyone else told you, but social security automatically denies more than 60% (some say as much as 75-80%) on the first round. They often attack credibility w/a wide brush, so I would agree that if it is your first denial, just be sure to file your appeal letter w/in the 60 day time period, (seems like it was 6o?) or whatever was stated in your denial letter. Talk to your lawyer. You know your body and your case better than anyone, so just keep trying to " educate " your lawyer! Cheryl M. > > Hey all.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 It was the insurance disability that denied me. I am just filing SSD. I have a lawyer handling the SSD and I'm turning over the insurance disability to another lawyer. I know denials are their first, second, and maybe third policies. I'm just hoping to get something sooner rather than later. If I get it later I guess I'll get caught up somehow.
