Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Well I had an 11 am appt with the SSD lawyer. Good thing it was this morning as we are under a severe winter storm warning for later today/evening!! I had to drive to downtown Milwaukee (not my favorite place to go to). Got there in good time, found a parking garage across the street from the building I had to go to. The lawyer was VERY nice. I felt comfortable with him immediately. He was very understanding of my EDS as he's worked with others with EDS. Very personable too...<G> I had taken all of my SSD papers that I filled out, what Ray and others had filled out for me from SSD, medical records up thru Jan 2003, articles on EDS (pain,chronic fatigue, etc). The lawyer will file all the paperwork to appeal the 2nd denial (wipes sweat off face!).... He says my case can be won and he took me on. Downside - Milwaukee is a YEAR behind in dealing with SSD cases and seeing admin law judges.... UPSIDE: I CAN work for up to 3 hours a day as long as I don't go over a max. amount of monthly income. I need to get my MD's written permission... I was really surprised at this.. I was under the impression that you couldn't WORK at ALL while applying for SSD... Now to find a job that I can do and not be in pain....etc etc etc. I feel like a HUGE weight has been lifted off my shoulders!!! Anyone else work after they gave their case to a lawyer? Should I try to work? Bonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
