I got a lawyer he only gets paid if I win. I heard this process may take up to 2 years. As long as I win its ok.

I don't know if each state is different but my dads case was also denied first and he got attorney and it took 2 years to finally get everything settled and regular checks. It was a long process

Best of luck

Yes that's the amount of time it may take up to. My lawyer is working on the case. I'm willing to wait as I don't have a chose.

Mami,

Here are some things that helped me get approved.(after two years):

Keep one doctor that supports your disability as your primary doctor

Get copies of all your medical records. Keep copies for reference.

If a doctor is evaluating you, ask what he or she will be specifically looking at. Get it in writing if possible.

Remember that SSI will be looking at all aspects of your life for disability. For instance, if you work out, they may see this as a reason to deny. Even if you admit to doing things like cooking( if you can), they may deem you healthy.

If other people are writing letters for you or filling in forms related to how disabled you are, review them, or have your lawyer review them, before submitting them. I was denied the second time because my sister estimated my disability at 85% instead of 100%.

Don't talk to SSI without clearing it with your lawyer. Let them handle communications.

Always take down the time and date you talk to SSI. Get the name of the person you talk to. I often got conflicting information from different people.

I hope everything works out for the best! Take care, babe!

That is pretty standard with ssd. I am 100% disabled veteran. Even being disabled through the VA did not help, I had to hire an attorney and it took two years. But going through the appeals process was easy. Both the ssd physician and employment expert provided compelling testimony in support of my case. Yes, there own experts supported my claim. It is a shame you have to lose such a big portion of your money to a lawyer, but a lot of people cave and can not wait them out.

It's true better to lose a few thousands but have you SSD forever monthly after you win. It's permanent. I have an appt with a neurologist to check my back once again & I want MRI to see the inside & clear me from anything or something being wrong. If I just have muscle issues with continue therapy & good massage I should be fine. I'm willing to work in the future if the MRI prove I'm crazy & there is nada wrong with me. I know something is though but I'm no doctor.

When you say it took 2 years. The process or in total the appeal & they kept denying you or you were approve & 2 years later you started getting your money?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
