Guest guest Posted June 23, 2002 Report Share Posted June 23, 2002 You have to be out of work for 6 month, well, you can apply for SS in the 6th month of disability. For me, it took 18 months. I applied in November of 1999 and was denied each time until I got a hearing before a judge in December 2000 and was awarded SS in March 2001. I received my first payment about a month later. I've heard they do this to weed out those who really don't need or deserve it, but I'm sure there are plenty that don't need it get it and those who really need it don't get it. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2002 Report Share Posted June 23, 2002 Hi , I first applied in September, 1998. Through a misunderstanding, they closed my case out and I had to start all over again. I re-applied in August, 2000, was turned down and I got a lawyer. I had my hearing last week, June 18th and won. I was adwarded on Major Depressive Disorder and Panic Disorder tho. FMS/CFS wasn't even considered in my case. {{{Hugs}}} Jacqui SSI Does anyone know how long it usually to get disiability from SSI? I'm sure it varies, but I wouold like to get some idea.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 I just had a thought! Hey, if ugliness were a prerequisite for SSI, right now they would approve me right away!!! LOL! Don't mind me, just trying to keep from crying and having a panic attack. <heavy sigh> Well, at least if I fall tonight, I know my face will bounce! ; ) Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
