My story began in October of 2009, I was and still am living with my boyfriend and we both we're working. I knew I had a few disabilities but refused to back down so I continued working for 2 months before:
1. I started being able to sleep for up to 20 hours a day........Now it's a little bit better but every other day I still see that I am sleeping close to 16 hours a day.
2. I couldn't and still can't stand for more then 10-15 mins before I would get sever back pain and foot pain, even sitting as long causes my back to go.
3. I couldn't and still can't lift as much as I used to.
4. I was and still am getting sick all the time, had sever bronchitis last time.
5. I was and still am cold all the time, tired all the time, weaker, paler and continued nausea.
Like any other hard working American this would make you worried and you wouldn't know where to turn. I got on medicaid and it turns out I have a vitamin D deficiency on top of a blood disorder trait, pcos, mental disorder. Even the doctor said you need to file for disability.
My vitamin D level was pretty bad. Normal is 30, mine was down to 12 FOR A 25 YEAR OLD!!!!
The Thalassemia *Blood disorder trait* they tried to correct with iron tablets, which turned out to make me even worse so they stopped that.
So I did and the social security came back with:
1. THE ONLY GOT THE RECORDS FROM THE DOC IN IDAHO NOT EVERY OTHER DOCTOR THAT I WROTE ON THE FORMS.
2. They scheduled appointments for places I could not get to in the time they set it up, I don't have a car of my own and my boyfriend doesn't either we take public transportation or have someone else drive us.
3. Every time I called them to say I can not make it due to the fact that I can't get there they would cough up an attitude with me like I was nothing and that I didn't even deserve to have someone treat me with respect.
4. I looked up their little qualifications and I fit it for Beta Thalassemia Minor alone with what my current records has stated yet they still deny me. Also my mental disorder, it's clearly qualification material too. Maybe not the PCOS I will admit but my doctor stated to put everything down so I did.
They are making me do all the Oh how does this limit you to do what, even sent my own mother a thing to file about how it effected me when I was living with her. I haven't been living with her since I was 18, I'm 25 now like I was not telling the truth.
Social Security is a bunch of crap and should honestly be destroyed. They ruin lives and to this day I still don't get it and we're about to get kicked out of our place but do they care? Nooooo
Do they care that just like me, others are out there working so hard to get it yet not getting it even though they qualify?
Do they understand that OUR LIVES are at stake with this and yes I'm sure there are some cases of fraud but why punish everyone for their mistakes?
Has this ever happened to anyone else?

YOU WILL NOT GET SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY IF YOU DO NOT HIRE A LAWYER

MAY I SUGGEST THAT YOU HIRE A LOCAL ATTORNEY WHO SPECIALIZES IN SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION DISABILITY DETERMINATION LAW.
APPARENTLY THE BIG NATIONWIDE FIRMS THAT ADVERTISE ON NETWORK TV AND THE INTERNET COULD CARE LESS.
BUT SOMEONE LOCAL WILL DO YOU A GREAT JOB.
I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE SSI BUT IT WAS THAT OR LOSE MY HOUSE AND I AM NOT UP FOR THAT,
MY LAWYER SAVED MY LIFE!
AND SAVED MY HOUSE FROM BEING SEIZED FOR NONPAYMENT OF PROPERTY TAXES. I USED UP MY ENTIRE LIFE 'S SAVINGS PAYING LAST YEAR'S PROPERTY TAXES AND I WAS DESPAIRING OVER WHERE MY PROPERTY TAX MONEY FOR THIS YEAR WAS GOING TO COME FROM.
SO GET A LAWYER TO FIGHT FOR YOU WHO IS LOCAL AND WHO CARES ABOUT YOU.
GODSPEED.

But Joe, you spend a whole post decrying Socialism and Socialist programs but yet you want to take advantage of SOCIAL security? And you are mad because it's hard to get?
If you hate socialism so much it seems like you would not lower yourself to even accept it if offered.
Sound pretty hypocritical to me.
Typical!

TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER, YOU NEED TO FIND A LOCAL ATTORNEY WHO SPECIALIZES IN GETTING PEOPLE THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS AND DO IT ASAP BEFORE THE LAW CHANGES MAKING IT HARDER TO GET THEM!
YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK INTO SEEING HOW YOU CAN GET MEDICAID!
THIS IS FOR THE YUPPIE "LADY" (?) WHO ENGAGES IN CYBERTALKING AND CYBERBULLYING. SHE THINKS...
I HAVE A VALID VISUAL DISABILITY. DOCUMENTED.
IF YOU HAD DONE YOUR DUE DILIGENCE THE HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION THAT WAS PASSED AMONG SO MUCH OPPOSITION, YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN THE AMAZING SIMLIARITES OF THIS BILL TO THE 1933 HEALTH CARE BILL IN GERMANY. IT WAS CALLED "THE FINAL SOLUTION." I LOST FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE SHOAH OR HOLOCAUST BECAUSE OF THIS "FINAL SOLUTION" SO I TEND TO TAKE THESE THINGS RATHER PERSONALLY.
THIS IS SOCIALIST HEALTHCARE!
HITLER WAS THE ULTIMATE EUROPEAN SOCIALIST.
THE NAME OF HIS PARTY WAS THE NSDAP WHICH MEANS, TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH, THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST GERMAN WORKERS PARTY. AND THEY MEANT FOR SLAVE LABORERS AND POLITICAL OPPONENTS TO DO THE WORK --- IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS!
WHICH MAKES ME WONDER JUST WHY ARE ALL OF THOSE FEMA CONTAINMENT CAMPS BEING BUILT THAT ALEX JONES AND OTHERS HAVE DOCUMENTED WITH PHOTOS. I LIKE THE BOX CARS -- ALL SILVER-COLORED AND METAL WITH LITTLE ROUND HOLES IN THEM. THOSE ARE NOT FOR TRANSPORT LIVESTOCK OR VEHICLES!
AND STALIN WAS A SOCIALIST TOO. THE USSR MEANT THE UNITED SOCIALIST SOVIET REPUBLIC.
I DO NOT SPLIT HAIRS HERE, I KNOW WHAT SOCIALISTS DO AND HITLER AND STALIN WERE BOTH SOCIALISTS!
THEY BOTH HAD SOCIAL PROGRAMS THAT CONSISTED OF KILLING OFF THE "USELESS EATERS" WHICH INCLUDED FORCED ABORTIONS AND STERILIZATIONS, LEAVING PREMATURE BABIES TO DIE, MURDERING "UNDESIRABLE" PEOPLE ( GENOCIDE) AND STARTING A HEALTH REVIEW/ DEATH PANEL/ QUALITY OF LIFE REVIEW AT THE AGE OF 55 OR 60. (I WAS TOLD THAT OBAMA'S ADVISERS WANTED IT TO BEGIN AT 45 YEARS OF AGE SO MAYBE THEY WILL GO BACK AND SNEAK IT IN AS WELL AS THE SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM WHICH WILL MAKE IT ALL 'LEGAL').
I AM LOOKING FOR A FRIENDLY COUNTRY THAT WILL LET AMERICANS LIVE THERE SO I WON' T GET THE DEATH PANEL REVIEW.
SURE SAYS A LOT ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT, THAT IT REQUIRES AN ADVERSARIAL LEGAL ACTION TO GET DISABILITY EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED AND MEET ALL OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION'S CRITERIA.

I have been reading ROR for quite a while and Joe's post is easily the stupidest one I have ever read.
Death panels? Please show us where in the health care bill it says anything even remotely resembling death panels. I don't mean quoting some internet wacko, I mean actual chapter and verse from the actual bill. You'll be looking for a long time.
I'm 67 years old and I haven't had a 'quality of life review' yet, nor am I scheduled for one. LOTFLMAO.
Joe, you are one sick puppy and - Please turn off your CAPS LOCK key.
Just plain stupid.

Question

What is the nature of your disability? I ask because you are young (25 you stated) and if I am wrong forgive me. What is your Doctor's diagnosis?
SSDI has a habit of denying the first time around - File again but if you are able to work then work. I know many people who collect SSDI who are able to work. I have disabilities but I work and pay into the system - have for many more years than you have been alive.
As for idiot Joe - TURN OFF THE CAPS AND STOP WITH THE n**i COMPARISONS!! You haven't a clue do you? OHHH and your YUPPIE crap is just that - CRAP!

I called Obama complaining of nausea and bronchitis, and he told me I have to wait 35-40 years to collect SSI, but even then I may have to stand before the death panels to determine if I should be given free medical treatment before someone younger then me, who may have more to contribute to society.

YOU HAVE TO GET AN ATTORNEY BEFORE YOU CAN GET ANY SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY

AND EVEN THEN, ALL YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR MAY BE SSI AND MEDICAID.
WITH THIS BIG BUDGET SHORTFALL, ALSO THE FACT THAT THE BUSH-CHENEY NEO CONS OR THE OBAMA SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS DO NOT GIVE A d**n ABOUT AMERICANS. THEY JUST WANTED TO PASS THE HEALTHCARE BILL WHICH IS THE SAME AS THE 1933 GERMAN HEALTH CARE BILL WHERE YOU GET QUALITY OF LIFE REVIEWS STARTING AT THE AGE OF 55 --OTHERWISE KNOWN AS DEATH PANELS --AND IF THE GOVERNMENT THINKS YOU ARE TOO OLD OR TOO DISABLED, THEY WILL EXECUTE YOU RIGHT THERE --WITH LETHAL INJECTION OR WITH A PISTOL IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.
WHY DO YOU THINK SO MANY PEOPLE FOUGHT AND ARE CONTINUING TO FIGHT AGAINST THE HEALTH CARE BILL???
YOU NEED TO GET A LAWYER AND APPEAL YOUR DENIAL. YOU CAN WRITE TO YOUR CONGRESSMAN AND HAVE HIM REOPEN YOUR CASE LIKE I DID.
SOCIAL SECURITY IS A BUNCH OF NAZIS. GOOD LUCK.
YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT.
MY COUSIN DIED THREE WEEKS AFTER HE WAS DECLARED TOTALLY DISABLED AND THEY STILL WOULD NOT CERTIFY HIM. AFTER HE DIED, THEY SENT HIM A LETTER OF DENIAL. I WISH I COULD TELL THEM TO GO TO HELL.
GET A LOCAL LAWYER YOU CAN SEE EVERY DAY. BINDER AND BINDER HAVE RUDE PEOPLE AND DO NOT USE ANY LAWYER YOU SEE ON TV!
