Guest guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Michele, This is a link that posted not long ago on applying. http://ssa.gov/ applyfordisabili ty/adult. htm This will give you some guide lines. Also, if you google, applying for Social Security Disability, you will get find some attys. who you can hire. I looked at a couple of sites and they had information on what SS looks for when you apply. Most of all, they are going to rely on your medical records and any entries that your rheummy has made. I haven't been there yet. My rheummy wants me to apply, and I am trying to hold off until next March. I hope this helps some.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Hi all, As we ( meaning my hubby & I ) have been fighting for the last 7 years to get SSD for my hubby? I recommend that you find a lawyer. We are on our second one, so don't if you aren't getting anywhere with your current one.. do try another. We do have one that does not get paid until we win, but we must give him a bigger % of the win. So be it.. We just want something, especially now that I am dealing with R.A. You can apply yourself, but 90% all of first time applicants get rejected. We've appealed, re-appealed.. and now we are waiting to hear if we can get Federal court to ask SSD to go over the paperwork once again.. if they say yes? we will have to go back to SSD & have them decide once again. Please also be aware. Get your application in ASAP. If you have to have an appeal? the wait to get a court date for an appeal is averaging 1 1/2 years from the time you apply for the appeal. We also have been told by several people the closer you are to being 50 yrs. old? the better your possiblities are of winning. Also, if you live somewhere other then the East Coast? Your chances are better ( we've even been advised to try to set up a permanent address in CA). We have been all over creation trying to pinpoint exactly what is wrong with my hubby. He gets sort of like vertigo spells.. but without the spinning/dizziness. He gets completely off balance, says it's like someone is flipping off his power, switch by switch.. and he must sit down asap. They orginally thought he had something called a chiarria malformation of the brain stem... others have said No that is not what he has, he's been having mini-strokes which they are unable to locate where they are orginating from. Ok.. sorry to ramble on so.. but SSD is not always the walk in the park some people are left to believe.
