Guest guest Posted October 27, 2002 Report Share Posted October 27, 2002 Congrats I just don't understand why every one has such a hard time getting their ssd. I applied for cassie may 1st of this year by July 15th we we getting checks. And Medicade for her. Yeh i do work and i have health insurance. I did do my homework prior to applying, left no items blank on the application ,all answers clear and complete and i did have some kind of diagnosis in hand even if it's idiopathic. Also i wrote almost a 2 page essay describing the many aspects of the effects on her daily life and the ability to provide for her needs. I talked about all aspects off her life. and I also had a psyc evaluation of the mental effect this has on her to. Talk about every thing from increased costs due to meds and changes in Diet and the additional expenses we inccur. If you are not a good writter tell some one who is and let them put it all in words for you. All her doctors knew in advance we were applying and agreed that ssd would be a good idea for her. hope this helps others in the future sorry you had to go through a big mess to get what you needed. hope this turns things around for you.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2002 Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 > Congrats > > My problem was the bum atorney I had. I had documentation from everywhere, I have been to the Mayo Clinic and numberous pain managemnt Dr.s mutiple G.I,'s, IUMC. I am 36 with a licence in nursing and they felt I was employable, my previous attorney never submitted the medical records I provided to the SS. The only documents they had ever recievd were the ones I provided when I applied. Being a nurse I knew what to fill out and how to fill it out and I never left any blanks, I fully explained my health and it's ramifications on my ability to work and have a life, I think it boils down to the fact they just don't care. All of that is over now and I have received my letter of favorablilty, I just hope by reading this anyone eles out there will just keep trying don't let them just keep telling you NO, we have help available to us right here, just utilize it. I can not tell you how impressed we were when Mr. McAuley came to our rescue, within a few short months we had a court and date and it took 1 week from the time I went to court to get my judgment. There was a Dr. there that had never looked at my records and tried to say things that the medical records did not reflect, and Mr. McAuley ate him for breakfast, he had the man babbling and not even able to lift his head up, he would not look at me or him. It was an amazing experience, we will for ever be grateful for my attorney Mr. McAuley. -Atwell LPN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
