PAULA, BUT REALLY ALL > SSDI - and other concerns

[Guest guest]

HI PAULA.

PERHAPS WE'LL JUST GET THE LAWYER'S HELP RIGHT OFF THE BAT. I SURE

DON'T WANT TO WAIT. IT IS A FINANCIAL THING, BUT IT IS ALSO AN

EMOTIONAL ONE. I'M USED TO PROVIDING FOR MY FAMILY, AND DOING A GOOD

JOB OF IT. I HAVEN'T DONE A GOOD JOB DURING THE PAST YEAR. THERE IS

NOW LITTLE TO SURVIVE OFF OF WHILE WE APPLY. IF IT GOES MUCH PAST 6

MONTHS (OR EVEN AT THAT TIME) I KNOW WE'LL BE HURTING. TWO YEARS IS

UNACCEPTABLE, BECAUSE AT MY CURRENT RATE OF REGRESSION, I'M NOT SURE

IF I'LL EVEN BE AROUND IN 2 YEARS, AND CERTAINLY DON'T WANT MY LAST

DAYS SPENT... WELL... I THINK YOU GET THE PICTURE.

IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER OPTIONS, I'D TAKE THEM. IN FACT, I'M STILL

PLANNING ON HELPING SOME PROFESSIONAL FRIENDS ESTABLISH A CLINIC

HERE - AND THAT MIGHT GENERATE SOME INCOME FOR US. AS LONG AS MY

MIND STILL FUNCTIONS, PERHAPS I CAN STILL " CONTRIBUTE " TO THE INCOME,

BUT YESTERDAY I PROVED (THROUGH AN ERROR ON THE JOB) THAT I REALLY

NEED TO BOW OUT. PROBLEM IS (AMONG MANY) THAT MY FEARS WERE RIGHT,

AND TO LEAVE NOW, MEANS THAT MY CLIENTS WILL RECEIVE NO SERVICES.

VERY TOUGH IN THIS SITUATION TO PUT MY AND MY FAMILY'S CONCERNS ABOVE

THOSE OF THAT NUMBER THAT WILL BE LEFT WITHOUT (BUT I THINK I HAVE A

COMPROMISE ON THAT TOO - AND... THE REALITY IS... MY PRIMARY

COMMITMENT MUST BE TO MY FAMILY)

,

Once you file for SSDI, that is the date you have to base your start date

on. If you need a lawyer later it still starts at the original date, so

why get a lawyer and pay them just to file your paperwork. We did it entirely

by phone. Over 99% of people do not need a lawyer and a lawyer costs money.

Call 1- today (or Monday morning if you get this after 7 PM

today.

Take care, Bill Werre

Hi .I am an extrovert, so it is a problem for me. :-)Anyway, thanks for the comments. Valued as always.I was quite curious, as it seems any stress - emotional or

physical

seems to be bringing new "gems" to the surface.I've copied your post and will deliver to my internist. I

don't

have

a neurologist. My neuro from Tulsa has not expressed a desire

to

see

me again since he is not familiar with what is going on - and Ihaven't had a response from my neuro at Mayo in quite some time(except a brief phone message telling me not to pursue one

avenue).

We are considering going to Dr. on.Curious, have you been diagnosed with MSA? I have not. Justautonomic neuropathy. Of course, when doc at Mayo saw me,uncontrolled muscle movements were not such a significant

issue.

And, even now, they seem to have died back down.I wasn't concerned with Dx, but now that I am facing applying

for

disability, it seems a more firm diagnosis might be beneficial.(I've been as reluctant to pursue "disability" as I have been

to

use

a cane, but the point has come that we can no longer live off

my

ability to generate an income - making basically 1/6 - at

what I was a year ago.)Catcha later.Pablito

Group,

You can now apply for SSDI by internet. You just print your application

forms, sign them, and mail them in with your proof of birth, etc. No

need to use phone or go to the SS office.

Hi .

I am an extrovert, so it is a problem for me. :-)

Anyway, thanks for the comments. Valued as always.

I was quite curious, as it seems any stress - emotional or

physical

seems to be bringing new " gems " to the surface.

I've copied your post and will deliver to my internist. I

don't

have

a neurologist. My neuro from Tulsa has not expressed a desire

to

see

me again since he is not familiar with what is going on - and I

haven't had a response from my neuro at Mayo in quite some time

(except a brief phone message telling me not to pursue one

avenue).

We are considering going to Dr. on.

Curious, have you been diagnosed with MSA? I have not. Just

autonomic neuropathy. Of course, when doc at Mayo saw me,

uncontrolled muscle movements were not such a significant

issue.

And, even now, they seem to have died back down.

I wasn't concerned with Dx, but now that I am facing applying

for

disability, it seems a more firm diagnosis might be beneficial.

(I've been as reluctant to pursue " disability " as I have been

to

use

a cane, but the point has come that we can no longer live off

my

ability to generate an income - making basically 1/6 - at

best -

of

what I was a year ago.)

Catcha later.

Pablito
