Can anyone tell me about their personal experiences with applying for social security disability? I have contacted our local congressman and they have had it flagged that they are watching it. I am in the process of obtaining all medical records. was a long haul truck driver and now with insulin he cannot, by federal law, drive a truck anymore. He has had the same type of job for 22 years. He now has the MS and the cervical spinal stenosis. Even on just the insulin dependent issue since it’s not allowed by federal law should be a huge help.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Debbi,            I know about the five month period too. I am getting medical records from when he had his first flare, in October 08. We didn’t know it was a flare up of the MS at the time. Plus a few months ago he was to see his GP and had urinary issues that were MS related and we didn’t know. So, I’m trying to prove he did have symptoms before this five month waiting period. Thanks for sharing your story. http://countermanfamilynews.blogspot.com/    From: MSersLife [mailto:MSersLife ] On Behalf Of Debbi Meyers-brant Sent: Monday, July 12, 2010 4:34 PM To: MSersLife Subject: Re: Social Security disability(debbi brant) i know some had prob...but i did not...in Pa you have to be off work for 5moths...and i got it...at the 5 moth mark...Herb got his the same way...i do know that debbie h (cos ) had a very hard time getting her ssi & ssd...but after she was told about the ms ...she got it and the back pay also...i wish you the best>>.debbi brant Subject: Social Security disability To: MSersLife Date: Monday, July 12, 2010, 8:16 PM If I may ask a personal question.
