Re: SSDI vs. SSI - Apology and Correction!!

[Guest guest]

Sorry Jeanie, I meant to address my last post to KATIE:

This is a very discrinatory, very innacurate statement: It's actually

easier for them to get SSI than it is or a physically sick person to get

disability.

First of all, , Schizophrenia, Bi-Polar Disroder and Depression

are all BIOLOGICAL, PHYSICAL ILLNESSES!! Secondly, it is not easier for

these people to get SSID: Most people I know with it have had to appeal

several times and provide multiple documentation just like people with CMT.

In supporting people with CMT, we should not malign people with other

disabilities or create a hierarchy of deservvedness.

I''ll get off my soapbox. Thanks. - Marti
