Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Did you have to appeal at all? We were denied for our autistic son and I am really curious how you got it :-0) Good for you! SSI Liam was approved for SSI.. I am sooo happy. We just got a check in the mail with back pay from when we applied back in July... That will help so much, now we can get the car fixed.. Hey it is for Liam because without a decent car we can not get him to all his doctors appointments...He has at least 2 a month, some months more!I am not sure exactly how much the monthly checks will be, but it really doesn't matter, we mostly applied to help with his medicine co pays...

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 <<Did you have to appeal at all?

I am not sure what basis he was approved on but he has multiple disabilities.. He is diagnosed SGA..and you can qualify if your are short stature under the 3%..BUT it is a hard diagnose to get approved on!! . He also has epilepsy, Sensory Integration Dysfunction, He is Hearing impaired.... So I guess it was a no brainier that he qualified under one or more of those .. As I said I don't know which one or ones qualified him, but if I had to guess I would say the epilepsy.... But I was totally expecting to get denied the first time, as I was told that is the normal. They deny the first time and see if you appeal. R Mom to: Jed (1/22/93) Tic disorder, Asthma, Heart Murmur.....

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 hey jamie!!! we didnt have to appeal. we got approved right away, the only thing was it does go by your income and they wouldnt give us a check for the first 2 months after we filed since my husband made to much in overtime at that point. i also think it has to do with how well your doctors respond to the info they have to send. good luck and appeal!!! jodie c. -- In RSS-Support , " " <j21inca@v...> wrote: > Did you have to appeal at all?

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Hi When I went I was denied as well but I didn't appeal. I was told that we made too much. Ha! If she knew my debt she wouldn't have said that. And, my husband is a seasonal worker - he landscapes so he is off for the winter. When I went I did have 's medical records with me. I wonder if she was just kinda blowing me off because I literally sat at her desk for 10-15 minutes. If I get into growth hormone and more expenses then I will try again.
