social security disability benefits

[Guest guest]

I filed for Social Security Disability after I qualified for it at my

job. I documented when I first started having MS symptoms over the

years and the month and year they started. i took a long time to

document every single symptom I had, when and if it went away and how

the disability gradually became worse and worse, to the point that I

could no longer function at my job as an RN in a hospital setting. I

also documented in great detail every single task I had to do to do

my job and I documented all of the walking I had to do, what happened

when I walked too much, how it effected me in everything I did at

home as well. I was meticulous in my documentation. I was awarded

Social Security Disability zfter applying only one time. So that's

whzt I would do if I were you. I didn't exaggerate but I presented it

a very harsh light, it was difficult to do because I always tried to

look at it in the most positve way I could, I took a good look at how

I used to function and the way I was really functioning. There was a

vast difference between the two. I hope you get it.

Hi ,

I am on disability. I was approved before I was diagnosed with RA, but my

hands were already in bad shape, and when I saw their bone doctor, he noted

that and included it in his report. Also at the time I used a walker, I

couldn't walk even 1 step without it, and I had horrible calouses on my

hands, when the dr. saw that he knew for sure that I had to use the walker

and wasn't just using it as a prop to get disability. So I don't really know

anything about applying and getting it with RA as the basis. If you are

going to apply, good luck!

I have been on social security disability since 03. My application went

right through the first time I applied. Had no problems like a lot of the

people are having. Didn't need a lawyer either.

Good luck to you,

Before I was initially granted disability I was denied 6 times. My PCP sent

me to a RA doctor after getting a high SET rate and I was suppose to go

before a Law judge for determination. The RA doctor put me through so many

tests and sent in the results and I was granted my disability. I cam off work

due to back injury and was unable to use my right leg due to numbness and

temporary paralysis from 4 disks pressing on nerves in my lower back. I had

3 surgeries before they would not do anymore and I was diagnosed with

having Lower Lumbar Deterioration with nerve damage. I did have a disability

lawyer who did the foot work for me and he got most of my reward and but

having worked over 15 years helped also. I wished that I could still get up

early and go to work besides sitting home and fighting constant pain and flare

ups. I do strenous work around the house like vaccuming and my fingers or

wrists swell and hurt. I have to have things at arms length or I can't

lift or bend to pick things up. Standing for long periods or sitting for long

times is a pain and I would never wish this type of misery on my worst

enemy.

Hi - I applied for SSD in March, 2006 and FINALLY had an adjudication

hearing on June 25th of this year. I've been told they have up to three months

(90 days) to make a determination, so I'm still waiting.....Doreen
