Where are you in the SSD process?

**************************

~~

I had to fire my first attorney due to inefficiencies ... My new attorney

filled for a hearing, I got confirmation they received the request so I am just

waiting for the hearing date. My attorney says that under normal

circumstances, my file is solid enough not to have me go to a hearing but since

I am so

young I will most likely have to go to the hearing.

Not something I am looking forward to but it is the process. Did you have to

go to hearing?

Debbi,

No I did not have to go before the judge, I won it on my appeal after my

first denial, but I hired an attorney anyway. So it must have helped. I was

sure since I was turned down the first time I would be turned down again,

even though my case was solid and strong, so many surgeries and everything

else. My husband took me to the bank today to deposit my check, It was a

truley WONDERFUL felling!!!! You can still get it if your young, just have

all the documentation and use the SSA law 14.06. EDS falls under this

heading of undifferentiated connective tissue disorders. These are termed so

severe they have to give you disability. You can look it up under

www.ssa.gov

Good luck, I hope you get a date soon! I'll be thinking of you.

Hugs, S.
