Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I highly recommend that you get an attorney who specializes in social security disability cases. By US law, they don't get paid unless you are approved and their fees are limited and are paid out of your " backpay " once you are approved. You can find out the limits on the social security website www.ssa.gov > > I did all of this... submit an application, get rejected, submit an appeal, > get rejected, request a hearing...and have heard nothing since.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 The waiting period varies a whole lot from place to place. Procedures vary by state and then the situation with regard to number of judges, court backlogs, etc. also come into play. > > > > > It took me 2 years almost exactly to get mine. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 *I have put in my application in November. This weekend I met with a doctor who was supposed to give me a " psycodynamic " profile. The disability office said that it would help determine the outcome of my case. I feel like throwing up whenever I talk about this because my illnesses are ones that people think you are lying. I am sure most of you can relate. I am a single mom and if I don't get this disability, I will be totally lost. I cannot work. I am too sick to stand up to cook myself a plate of food. I am trying to be faithful, but it is hard. Please say a prayer for me. Mercy (Debbie) * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I second Barbara, I hope you are getting help because this is not a healthy relationship. I should know I grew up in an extremely abusive situation, and what is happening to you is the beginning of grooming you that leads to abuse. Please seek help now don't waith until you get hurt. Debbieg ________________________________ It's still worth a try, but be sure to document very carefully everything that impedes you during every day. Can't stand long enough to cook? Write it down and what sensations you have. I am going to take a chance and comment on your husband refusing to give you any money. A marriage is supposed to be a partnership. If he is out working, no doubt you are doing extra things at home. You deserve to have some money at your disposal. He sounds controlling to the point of possibly being abusive. I hope you are taking care of yourself in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Exactly. I too was raised in an abusive environment and married abusers. I hate to see anyone else end up in that situation. It has taken many years to learn how to recognize and stay away from abusers. Barbara S > > I second Barbara, I hope you are getting help because this is not a healthy relationship.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 No Lynne, I got sick 25 1/2 years ago. I've only known my husband 15 years. Again, as I said, I won't comment on this anymore, and I probably won't write here for some time. I guess everyone else here is independently wealthy, right? Or has tons of family members throwing tons of support at them? I don't. So my marriage is pretty old-fashioned at this point. I get basic needs, I actually don't really do that much around here anymore, but there are marriages that are based on financial support- even minimal- and not love. Yes, it started out supposedly based on love, but it's not anymore, and that's just reality. How can ANYONE with this disease POSSIBLY judge me on that? I have a roof over my head. My husband wouldn't even think of hitting me. He is just a very, very stingy person financially, except for when it comes to what he wants. Really, I'd think people with this illness would have a bit of understanding of the impossible situations so many of us face. There is someone who has written here about her fear of ending up homeless. I came really close to that. I have two family members who are LIVING that. I'm not. Good enough for me right now.
