Guest guest Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Thank you Thank you. Yes I would like to be able to ask more question as I jump thru the hoops Walt on Whidbey IPF,Nsip.Uip. 06 Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.†Subject: Re: tiredTo: Breathe-Support Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2009, 11:18 AM Walt, Filing for disability isn't as difficult as your doctor has made it out to be. Filing is pretty simple. Just be sure to fill out the paperwork as completely as possible. Once you have filed you may recieve a letter in the mail that Soc. Sec. calls the "10 day letter." It's basically a letter they require you to return with in 10 days of recieving it. In my case I got 2 of these letters. They asked a few questions that I had also answered during the interview. My best advice is to answer the questions and respond with brutal honesty when asked "How does your disability impact your day to day life?" When I answered these letters I wrote about 3 pages describing my day from begining to end, giving details about my symptoms, pain, and the fears of uncontrolled coughing spells. Whoever read that letter learned more about me than my own husband had know. Within 2 weeks of mailing that letter I was approved. Your son is also eligible for benefits until he's 18. I've heard you can apply for him at the same time. I waited until I had been approved myslef to apply for my son's benefits. I wish you the best! I'll be glad to answer any questions about filing for SSD. 34 FLIPF dx 1/06 >> Hello> I am SOOOOOO sick of doctors. I had my every three month apt. CT,PFT and pulmo doc apt. I asked him about o2 So in his office we did a walk down the hallway about 100 feet and sats dropped to 88% I told him there dropping to 80% at work and he said NOTHING! Then I asked him about going off work and filling SSI disability he said I would qualify but it would take a long time to get on it. I am not sure what to do. > I have the 2006 UW Medical Center doctor reports and path reports that say my DX is IPF, UIP and NSIP I have my new PFT results but not sure what they look at for qualifications.> I guess I start with looking for a new Doc. > > I am tired of feeling like it’s always a hassle to get anywhere. > > Just venting> Thanks for the understanding Ear > > Walt on Whidbey IPF,Nsip.Uip. 06 > > > > Courage doesn't always roar.
