Disability

man, I honestly don't think I could go another year. was your case presented before that tribunal? my hearing is now less than three weeks away. I'm very nervous about it. my anxiety has gotten so bad that I'll probably have to be helped into the room. I had to be helped when I met my lawyer, and this will probably be even more stressful for me.

Yes it was presented before a judge. And I can definitely relate to the anxiety and stress. I wish you all the luck!. And good health .:D
 
my lawyer said that the process is deliberately long to weed out anyone who doesn't need it. also, it takes longer than ever before to receive disability...at least here in the states. where it would take 6 months to a year to get a hearing, it now takes about four months longer than that; where it would take 30 days to get a decision, it now takes 60 to 90 days.
 
I've written a letter to the judge hearing my case. I outlined what it's been like for - waiting on disability I mean. it's been pretty rough. it's now been over 2 years since I started the process. and, my hearing date is less than two weeks away.
 
Glad your getting close to finally have a answer i just don't know how can they take so much time for a hearing as i believe some subjects should take prioritie over others but even so it's such a long time, won't say i know how it is because i would be an hipocrite, best wishes for your hearing and may you come with good news to at least "facilitate" your life a little.

sorry if my expression wasnt the best, dam english lol

thanks. it's been an uphill battle and a struggle. I must have 200+ pages of forms I've had to fill out.
 
I just had my hearing a few hours ago. I think it went okay. the vocational officer could find no jobs for someone who's off task 25% of the time which my doctor put down in the medical source statement. however, my alcohol use was brought up despite having quit a few months ago. the judge said I might not be granted payee due to this, but at the same time, my parents may not be as well since my mother supplied the alcohol. my sister offered to be the payee if necessary. I'm really not sure how it went. I got no decision, so I have to wait 60 days or so to get one. :(

Hello @pinky i wish you all the luck my friend, I myself am waiting, it is a federal review hearing it takes a year I don't have to go they just review the case and make a decision. Probably get denied I think only assholes get it. Lol just kidding! I think you will be ok I hope, you don't live in Ohio at least I think you don't. Ohio is corrupted in my opinion. Only the people that fit there stereo type racism get it. :mad: later:D.
 
hey, man. they didn't ask me a whole lot of questions beyond what's my name. I remember them asking me what my days were like. I didn't quite know how to answer that one. hopefully, the source statement and other materials will show that I'm disabled. I honestly can't go on waiting. it's just brutal. :( do you know if you can keep appealing indefinitely?

I plan to retire from the scenes very soon as well. I've spent so much time helping others, never gaming, just testing and reading. I need some time to myself, to focus on me...maybe to game again too. I don't know when I'll do this. the scenes have been a part of my life for nearly 10 years, so it's difficult to let go. however, there's a time when you need to. I'll probably still keep you all posted on my disability, but that may be it.
 
Yes you can keep appealing, after federal you start all over. I will miss you, normal people are hard to find! Normal in the sense that your heart is pure.

And P.S. DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE! LOL:D

thank you. I'll miss you too. in fact, I'll miss this "place" as well as its people. ;) it will be very difficult at first, but I think I can do it. I need to go outside, get some fresh air, and when I'm indoors, start doing my hobbies again which includes playing some new games. speaking of which, my mother has agreed to buy me a switch and odyssey. hopefully, that will renew my interest in gaming. all my systems have been for is testing and research. it's probably a good thing too considering my account was banned, and I'd like a new account without losing saves and trophies (not that I care about trophies). ;)

of course I'd miss my wittle bitsiboo. :-P I think @N0obzilla (sp?) sent me your email a long time ago. though, I was looking for his email a while ago just to see how he was doing. I don't think I found it though. if you'd like to keep in touch, send it to me in a pm.
 
We are too poor for a lawyer. My girl was on disability for eight years. Then they deemed her healthy and took her off. She has ailments that don't just go away. And we found out that they didn't even ask for medical records and doctor notes. Too late to even fight now. Systems very corrupt

yeah, it seems like half the people on disability shouldn't be and half the people consistently rejected should be. it's pretty upsetting. I'm not sure how much longer I can stand to wait. I hope that my doctors' notes and things like the source statement are enough since I feel that the hearing didn't go so well. :(
 
Best of luck. :)

I just got diagnosed with reumatism but still can't even get a 25% drop. Chronic pains, damaged neural net (~30-40%) of my back/shoulders and muscular cramps for approximately 5 years. They give me paracetamol and send me away. Some days I can't even get out of the bed, even less pick up my kids for hugs at night. :(

But hey, that's life. Just gotta keep on fighting...
 
yeah, they've got me on so many medications that I fall asleep a lot. in fact, I just woke up from a nap. I'm on 14 medications (not all are taken every day) with about 20 pills taken every day.

it's very sad not having any money. I've had to borrow thousands of dollars from my parents. the good things are that I'm Indian, so I have free healthcare, on PAP, so I get free Saphris (costs about $1,300 a month otherwise), I'm on food stamps, and I've had my student loans expunged. this is the last thing I need. it has been an uphill battle the whole way, but I'm optimistic. before, I wouldn't be. however, I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't worried about everything. I have a manila envelope with literally hundreds of papers for this filing of disability.
