Re: Disability, first try?I

[Guest guest]

Hello Jeanne,

You may be the only one of a few....It took me my first denial, then an

appeal, another denial, and then a request for a private hearing in front of a

Federal Judge! And all this took about 4 years....I'm thankful to hear that not

everyone was dragged through the paperwork H_LL, and the torment of trying not

to get yourself so hopeful, because you know you can't do what you used to do

for work anymore, and then when the denials come, you still sob like you lost

your best friend, but when that approval letter finally comes, WHOO-HOO, It was

worth it all, I think,,,,,,,HAHAHA. No, really, I haven't heard of to many that

have gotten it first try, good for you~~~

Take Care,

Pam

Jeannie,

Congratulations....After 3 yrs I finally got approved 3 weeks ago...After

denial, appeal, denial and then finally requesting a hearing...I was at the

point of getting the hearing date when the administrative law judge looked over

the case and approved my disability to 6 months from the day I went out of

work...I think that the problem is that most doctors don't file the correct

paperwork or not give enough information in the beginning...and that no one with

any medical knowledge looks at the paperwork until the 2nd appeal or law judge

who looks over the paperwork to see if all his questions are answered to his

satisfaction. If not, then he gets you scheduled for a hearing and you can

answer his questions that are unanswered.

The only ones I ever knew that got approved right away were terminal with

cancer or needed some kind of transplant....

Again, congratulations and enjoy the fact that will not have to return to a

work place that you can not perform to the best of your satifaction.

Hey,..It's party time here in the room!

Too bad the entire process is not like one of those used car financing

commercials, " Bad credit - No credit " ?

You're approved!!! " Stamp! - Approved! " ,.....
