Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Congrats!!! oh, but I must admit I am GREEN with envy. I'm still waiting on my ALH, and my claim goes back to Feb 2003! I know it stinks to be " disabled " but I've been on disability, gone off and got that high paying job, and am now back at square one with having to go through the process again. Fact is, the stability of at least KNOWING you have SOME income and health insurance is about the best thing there is after you loose it all, gain it all back, and loose it all again. ((hugs)) > This morning I had an appointment with my lawyer for my disability case. He told me, " The hearing judge called me. We were debated whether you were disabled or not. We're no longer debating. The judge has agreed that you ARE disabled. He declared you disabled from September 8, 2003. If you feel that you were disabled longer than that then this will go to court and the judge may change his mind. Do you need time to think about this or do you want to decide now? " > > Wow. I'm disabled. I'll never be able to get that high paying job I wanted in computers to build my house from the ground and get my luxury car. I'm disabled. I'm going through chemotherapy and that lessens if not alleviates my chance to ever birth a child of my own. It's as if my dreams are gone. I'm disabled. Yay for me.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Kate, I'm so sorry to hear about you. Don't think that I'm bragging about this because I'm not. I don't think that it's really hit me yet. I wish I would go on and get the benefits now ... I need the insurance so bad. From what everyone has been saying about disability it takes a lot of time for it to come in. I'm still waiting too. I hope that yours finally goes through for you. I know that you're tired of it dragging on but just think you'll get a lot more money! Yay for you! -. Re: Yay for me !! > Congrats!!! > > oh, but I must admit I am GREEN with envy.
