Re: and disability

[Guest guest]

Hi ! I'm glad you decided to come out of

" lurkdom " and join us! I wanted to comment on the

disability application...I didn't even know there WAS

a diskette to do it! Well, that being said, I hope

they have trouble reading all that I wrote, over 3

weeks time! My hands were killing me! I would work

on the stupid forms for about 2 hours with so many

different shapes and sizes of pens, until I was making

so many mistakes I was using the White-Out just as

much as my pen! I never thought to ask about doing it

on the computer! I guess I just figured that was part

of the application process to evaluate hands! They

did tell me the criteria they use to determine

disability was inability to use feet/legs AND hands

with something like CMT, which is NOT on their " list "

of automatically disabling conditions.

Good for you! I'm glad that process was made easier

for you. It was a rather undaunting task for me,

while trying to feel better from my exhaustion from

working past my means.

Good luck and Happy New Year!
