Re: SSD denied again 2nd time-Bonnie

January 22, 2004

Bonnie,

One statement from a doctor who did *one* surgery on me, plus knew pretty much

nothing else about me, kept SSDis. from going through for 5-6 years. All the

other doctors- which included some who were *appointed* by SS to evaluate my

condition, and their opinions that I definitely qualified, was completely

ignored. The one lone statement of the one doc, hindered me from getting it

sooner. The same thing was said on my denials " my condition is not severe

enough to keep me from working. " From there it too went on to then law judge who

also denied it--said I could be a crossing guard <ROLF> ...which was

ridiculous.

My attorney and I ended up suing Health and Human Services. At that point it was

heard by the Circuit Court Judge for our area in Ill. His decision was to grant

it! Among some of the comments was a statement that said I should have had it

granted when it was *first* applied for. Go figure.

Sure wish you were able to have it granted.

Keep on plugging away at it!!

It's not time to throw in the towel yet!

Love and hugs,
