Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 To All, Someone in the group contacted me privately about problems with obtaining Social Security Disability benefits and I thought that others may be interested as well. I know some people have had a very difficult time with getting disability benefits. In my case I got it in 6 weeks and subsequently breezed through my first review. I don't have a magic answer for you but I do have a lot of resources that may be very helpful. Get ready because you have a BIG homework project. Start here http://www.hcvadvocate.org/hepatitis/living_w_hepatitis_C.asp#3 and read, read, read. A particularly good section is http://www.hcvadvocate.org/hepatitis/hepc/gettingdb.html the author, Jacques Chambers, is extremely knowledgeable and has his own website http://www.helpwithbenefits.com/ I hope this helps and let me know if you need anything. Good luck, I know this is an arduous process. I received my determination on 4 factors so a tip is to put down ALL of your medical conditions not just the liver issues. Another thing was my hepatologist wrote an excellent letter to the SSA in it specifically stating that I suffered from End Stage Liver Disease (ESLD).
