Re: Has ANYONE! been successful...

[Guest guest]

I had California state disability for Lyme (with my doctor’s emphasis on the

symptoms), which lasted for a year. I applied for federal disability a year

ago and they denied me twice, and now it’s at the appeal level again with

court appearance (which is actually a good thing). I decided to hire a

lawyer who takes fees only if the case is settled, so there is no

out-of-pocket money. The good news is that when they finally do approve your

federal disability, you get it retroactive to when it was needed. So you can

get a large lump sum.

I’ve heard it can take up to 3 years to get federal disability, but I’ve

also heard that some people got it sooner than later. There’s just no

telling. A good LLMD will know which codes to use for insurance and

disability purposes. I’d like to hear the stories of others, too.

Cheers,

Janet
