Asking About Disability

Thank you everyone. I'm waiting to see the rheumatologist. I've heard that will help my case. I still have to work when I can even though I feel like I can't stand up straight at the end of my shift. I'm putting a lot of pressure of my doctors to get the paperwork completed. I'll let you all know how it goes.

It took me 8 years, but I was only 39 when I first applied Andy age worked against me. My SSDI insurance ran out because I couldn't work for so long. I got SSI right away this last time I applied. They sent me to their doctors because my records weren't enough. I tried a representative and then a lawyer and end up getting it myself. My suggestions would to be make sure your doctors are on board and that they document everything. I was told you need to have a pressure point check at every visit. My doc stopped doing it because it hurt so bad. Neither of us knew I needed it. Find a good reputable lawyer. They take their fees out of your settlement payments (back pay from when you first applied).

I tried for 3 years.... was denied repeatedly... had to find a sit down job for my fibro but it's hectic and he'll on my mental health

Yes I am.
