Social Security lawyer w/ACM1

[Guest guest]

Hello

I have been recently diagnosed with ACM 1 and have had symptoms

(fatigue, headaches, numbness, coordination probs, etc.) for several

years with no answers. Two neurologists and several radiologists

failed to correctly identify and/or diagnose my problem. Although I

wasn't getting any affirmation from my physicians I persisted in

finding a physician who would evaluate my condition using Milhorat's

criteria. My perseverence paid off when Dr. Weingart confirmed

that I do have ACM (1 - 3 mm). I am being evaluated for surgery and

I'll see how that goes. All I can say is I'm so glad to know what's

wrong with me!

It just so happens that I have been practicing Social Security

Disability law for 5+ years and would be glad to answer some

questions about disability applications, appeals, how to build your

case, get your Dr. to give you the info you need to be approved,

etc. The National Organization of Social Security Claimant's

Representatives (NOSSCR) can refer you to a lawyer in your area who

specializes in disability claims. Also, your local Legal Aide office

may be able to provide free legal assistance with a disability claim.

I'm really glad this site is here and I look forward to chatting with

some of you. Thanks for being there and thanks for listening.
