Re: SSDI questions

[Guest guest]

,

Yes, I had to answer all of those questions before, once on the

phone in an interview, and also in a questionnaire that they sent

me.

This interviewer did ask me some of those questions, again.

Most of my answers were " sometimes " , in regard to the cooking,

driving and cleaning. Instead of asking how I did things, he said,

do you drive, do you shop, do you bathe yourself, do you cook? I

couldn't help but be truthful, since occasionally I do do all of

those things, but my husband does the majority most of the time.

I no longer have any children in the house to worry about tending

for, as my beloved grandchild Austin is gone to live with his

father.

I made sure that Bob drove me to the interview, he even offered

his arm for me to walk with into the building (hahaha).....but I

said no, I can't fake problems that I don't have. And no, I wasn't

able to bring up any tears, but I was also not able to even crack a

smile or sign of warmth during the whole time, either, which is

totally out of character for me, but of course, this man wouldn't

know that.

One thing he asked me was where we were, and I said " Low

Bottom " . Low Bottom is the name of a community we had driven

through on our way to the interview in Beaufort, about 10 miles

from where the interview was held. Realizing my mistake, I

corrected myself, and then answered the question correctly.

This may have shown something was amiss in my mental

sense of awareness, though....I was sort of in a fog....but I really

don't know how it all looks to a professional mental analysist.

With hope and prayers,
