SSI: It is possible to get approved on the spot at an SSA Office

[Guest guest]

I'm back from applying and YES receiving my son's SSI benefits. He was approved

on the spot. (and no he has no actual obvious PHYSICAL disability). He

receives payment within 10 days.

I brought key documentation with me, went actually to the SSA office. It's not

difficult IF you go prepared. If I can help answer anyones questions please

feel free to contact me offline.

Have a great day!

Doesn't always work with everyone.

 

Know someone who have autism and get denied at SSA.

 

It would be nice to share what you did, but it seem that " nicer people " make

better caseworker than people who just takes application like claims and putting

them in file.

This was probably a PD (Presumptive Disability) decision. The claims rep looks

at the medical information and presumes it will be approved. The claims rep puts

the case in pay status and begins to pay the applicant BUT the medical records

still go down to the DDS unit in Springfield. They review the medical

information and then make an OFFICIAL decision.  I have only seen ONE PD

decision get denied.

Presumptive Disability.

 

What other important terms that internal SSA office used when making decision or

looking at the case?

CE = Consultative Examination

If you do not provide suffiicient medical information to prove disability,

Social Security will send you for a CE - an appointment with one of their

doctors. This is usually NOT a good sign because your medical records were not

enough to prove disability so they send you to one of theirs - spending not much

time with you.  AND, remember, their doctors are paid by Social Security.
