Shadowknows in his final hours
« on: November 20, 2009, 06:57:48 AM »
Is there anyone at the DUmp that isn't sucking on the government teat or suffering from some mental disorder?

At least Greenbriar has the excuse of being born with downs syndrome

Nineteen hours until the rest of my life (or not)

At about 9:45 AM tomorrow I'm having my appeal hearing for SSI/Disability. If I win, on the grounds I'm unable to work because of some mental health issues, I can finally get further testing that I need to start to properly heal. Both mentally and a considerable amount of physically.

"The worst that can happen" my lawyer informed me in a less than enthusiastic pep talk today, was that we could appeal again if we lose. Which basically means it would be another two years until my next hearing. Essentially a death sentence in all probability for a number of reasons. At the very least the probable death of my marriage.

Long story short any and all prayers, vibes, magick and general well wishes directed my way about 10-ish tomorrow would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

18. The very best of luck to you!

Do they usually drag it out like this?

I have been on SSDI for 15 years, and I was wondering if your difficulty getting approved is a normal thing.

Mine was approved in a matter of about 2 months by filling out an application, and enclosing my medical records. I wasn't able to actually fill out the application myself, as I was heavily medicated, and had been in the state mental hospital for months. I was a total basket case at the time, but I could sign my name.

Based on your experience, I must have been fortunate to have a good hospital case worker to do the paperwork.

Anyway, I'll be thinking about you tomorrow

19. The rule of thumb now is to refuse anyone and hope they don't appeal

SSA's own evaluation stated I should have qualified and I still got refused. 16-24 months is average time for an appeal hearing and they have that much time every time you have to appeal. I have one friend who has been fighting it for over 8 years and finally won, and she got hurt at a job. It's ****ing criminal.

29. Sounds like a private insurance company!

Deny coverage even though the person qualifies. That's just plain wrong.

Like I said, I don't even know what is really required on the application forms, or what the whole process involves. I was notified that I would be receiving SSDI by my case worker shortly after I was discharged from the state hospital into a residential living facility where I stayed until a workable medication regimen could be worked out, and I was functional again.

Wait till obama care kicks in.  You ain't seen nothing yet.

55. Ours is getting that way

The system now assumes your own doctor is a liar and sends you for a medical with a private company called ATOS. They're supposed to decide if you're fit for work, have "limited" capacity for work or are completely unable and get put in the "Support" category. Sounds fine except ATOS are notorious for ignoring evidence, lying their collective asses (assi?) off and treating the "Support" category like it doesn't exist.

My own doctor and shrink say there is no ****ing way I should be doing any sort of work, I showed up in clothes I'd been wearing for two months, with caked blood covering my arms (my depression causes me to self-harm, completely unconnected to the self-harm I use for magicks), hair that hadn't been washed in about four months and my beard was so unkept, I looked like I was trying to swallow a badger; they assigned me to the "Limited" category. I'm actually lucky. ATOS have classified a severely delusional schizophrenic and a girl with four suicide attempts in as many months and stitches still in both wrists as fully fit for work. One guy who lost both hands in a warehouse accident was classified as 75% fit.

Oh, and our tabloids have been running an outright hate campaign (think Fox and Obama) against us for about 18 months now.

The rest is all good vibes and healing white light.

Why am I not surprised they can't make the connection between these problems with SSDI and government run health care? But does anyone really think being able to live off the public dole will make this person any different/happier/healthier? SSDI won't be enough, he won't be able to find a good shrink with what Medicare pays, the doctor won't give him the prescription drugs of his choice that everyone on the Internet is talking about, he wrote to his congressman about his plight and all he got back was a form letter, and if he really did get his free pony it would be the wrong color. If they don't have depression and angst they don't have anything. They wallow in self pity with the same relish as a 6 year old who scored the winning goal in pee wee soccer.

It is people like this that have made the SSDI program so overrun and inept.  There are people who truly cannot work because of a disability, and I have no problem with them getting government assistance, private charitable donations, or any other assistance to improve their lives.  But, if somebody is coherent and well enough to make thousands of posts on an internet forum, they can do some sort of desk work.  It is because so many people apply for the system who could actually work that they have to become so suspicious of every application.

Imagine the unpredicted costs these leeches will add to the bottom line of "free" health care as well.
I still say it is there goal and why they are obsessed with it...to get themselves medically removed from contributing to a productive society in any way.

All I could think about while reading this, was can you imagine how badly he must smell? 4 mos without washing the hair? 2 mos in same clothes? URGH.  I feel sorry for the person having to represent him. I would quit my job first. Also, most people who are seriously disturbed are so self aware they can write this cogent a post. Yes, it is somewhat insane, but not to the degree that he needs to be on the g'mnt teat. Just a bath and a life.

There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as caring and sensitive because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he is willing to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he will do good with his own money— if a gun is held to his head.

I'm not surprised.  There is one there that gets a check, free medical, free prescriptions, uses the ER like it's her personal Dr., stays drunk, does drugs and steady gets tattooed.  What is her illness ?  Bi polar/depression/agoraphobic.  The only agoraphobic I've ever seen that can go out at night and on dates but too afraid to do anything else.

Imagine the good life.  Getting paid to get high and posting on the DUmp 24/7.

A DUmmy dream come true.

Get ready.  With this new government healthcare it'll be easier for them to document their crazy life and be a shoe in for disability all at your expense.

I sometimes think that's the real reason they want that bill to pass.

Which is the reason that I didn't give up and go on SSDI. I can operate a computer, work on them, etc.

Holy cow. One would think his depression would make him a natural at "magicks" then, and therefore a good thing.

There's so many threads like this, where the dummies proudly list their insanities yet think we have the crazy ideology. Too, it doesn't occur to them for a second as to why they are declined with so many others. Because they think government makes all the money, it doesn't cost anything to provide their care, benefits, etc. so it must be "other" people abusing the system.

In my opinion that's a major part of the problem.  I know 3 people who are on SSI and all of them are capable of working but managed to find the right doctors so that they don't have to.  Meanwhile the guy next door was really injured on the job and is fighting to get anything besides his 50% employer disability.

We had a neighbor whose son became a quadriplegic after a diving accident in a swimming pool. She told me she had to fight for 5 years to get some help.  During that time she took care of him while holding down a full time job.

He now works processing welfare claims and is disgusted by what he sees.
