Struggling to Get Disability Benefits for Mental and Physical Health Issues

I haven't even applied because SSI/SSDI income wouldn't be enough to pay my mortgage with. Good luck and get a lawyer like others said.

Yes reach out to me at myjunkie65@gmail.com and I can help you out.

I think it has a lot to do with your age. I actually have a hearing next week this is my first time applying I'm not really expecting to get it but I am almost 60 years old so I'm hoping because every day I have severe symptoms there's no way I could work under these conditions and I haven't worked for the past 5 years because of it. It all started when I had cancer in 2016 and I had 33 radiation treatments and 5 months after that I started getting sick. It's nearly impossible to find the right doctor I'm still looking six years later my PCP doesn't have a clue and it's hard to know what specialist you need to see for a dysautonomia condition. I'm learning though! Prayers please for my hearing on Thursday. Will keep you updated.

I had to get a lawyer. It took about 2 years. He told me that if you are under age 50, you almost always get denied. Right after I turned 50 they approved it.

It took 3 times for me and 5 years. Luckily was able to get a great lawyer. 2018 was finally accepted. Hopefully soon you will get it.

I was approved fairly easily. They sent me to their doctors for evaluation. The physician told me he didn't know how I was still walking. The psychologist did the normal tests for cognition & depression. I agree, get a lawyer. You must be consistent with what you say & don't give any information that is not asked for. The first time I got tripped up when the doctor asked what I did for fun. I offered up too much & caused him to deny it.

Well its best to get a lawyer now they are not going to give it to you unless you are dying i had to fight in court i was on my job for 13 years got hurt had to have 3 surgery s they said i could sit smh i got mines it took a while get a lawyer
