Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Hi , I think that several posters to this board, as well as myself, have received SSD based on the conditions and prospects for Chronic Panc. diagnosis. It's not a " slam dunk " but it can be done Best wishes, Poncho - GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 , I have gotten SSI disability for pancreatitis, but I also included all my other health problems that made things even worse for me to continue working. I got a lawyer and I think that helped a great deal. However, my initial claim and appeal were denied and I was only approved once I got to the trial hearing stage. That took me 11 months. The best thing you can do is file for SSI the day after you go on disability because it's a long process. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...
