proof for disability claims

[Guest guest]

Hi Becca, sounds like a nightmare. I can't believe that with your

medical history, and probably like me, tests, tests and more tests also

x rays, emgs, scans, medical documentation, doctors letters, etc., that

you got denied. And that is has taken all this time to get to the Court

of Appeals. Well, keep appealing, and you know, you ARE entitled to the

back benefits when this is finalized. (you know, the time it took while

your claim was being considered/reconsidered/appealed, etc.) I know some

people with other disabilities who actually hired attorneys to help them

get their " rightful " benefits. There is a cap on the amount the attorney

can charge once a claim is finalized.

Note to our international members again: something I forgot to put in my

earlier message: this disability insurance that can be received in

monthly payments from the government is based on wages while one worked.

So in effect, persons who have worked, then become disabled, have

already paid for this.
