Question for Kimber

[Guest guest]

Kimber,

Your comment about not being able to attend the symposium

this year because you can't fly without endangering your disability

application intrigued me. Where did you learn this, that the SSDI

thinks that if you can fly, you can work? IMHO this is a

proposterous assumption! What about all the medically

challenged people who fly from one place to another for surgery

appointments at larger hospitals hundreds of miles away from

their home?

And how would they know if you flew, anyhow? I don't want you to

think I'm attacking you, because I'm not at all. I just think this is a

stupid assumption by the Social Security Disability Board and

would like to know more about how you learned about it and how

one's flying activity could be monitored. Please clue me in, if you

can. I've never heard of anything so ridiculous! (grin)

With hope and prayers,

Heidi

Heidi,

I was toldt the problem with traveling, particularly flying,

fom my lawyer, who deals soley with diability cases. Yes, he

said it was a stupid assumption on the part of SSD, but that

they will use any excuse to deny you. I don't want to take

the chance that I'll be denied for such a stupid reason. I

have no idea how they would find out I traveled anyway, but

they do track people in cases of possible fraud, so who

knows. Hmmm, maybe I'll contact my lawyer again just to find

out how they monitor this.
