I had my court hearing today. (Updated w/ chart)

Last edited Sun Jul 19, 2015, 02:47 AM - Edit history (1)

So after starting this process last year and receiving two paper denials, I went to court today and was found to be disabled under 3 different sections of disability law. Now I have to wait 60 days and then I will finally start to receive my funds.   

UPDATE
This is an awesome flow chart that can help peopl visualize how hard the process is.
[some stupid chart showing us how much "work" the primitive had to do to get its free gravy]

1. Congratulations! It just sucks that it has to be such an arduous procedure

because a bunch of paranoid Republicans are scared to death you might still be well enough to enjoy your life.

That's exactly it, you know.

6. Goddess bless

I'm so happy for you. I remember breaking down and sobbing in a friend's car when I was accepted . I was so relieved it overwhelmed me. I went through so much trying to go back to work when I shouldn't have been forced to. But they made me try and fail before I was allowed to be disabled.

I had this same neck, sholderblade, arm, nerve pinch, that I'm going through now, while I student taught. I had to try and work full of narcotics and nerve medicine and hot packs or cold packs. My boss handed me the National Suicide hotline number after I said I'd rather be dead.

I still have PTSD from being mistreated at that job. I had a case with the the EEOC but dropped it..

20. Good for you!!!

People who have never endured that process cannot comprehend what it's like. My own case took years, and the relief of the long-awaited decision brought tears of joy. The battles were by no means over, but at least there was a beginning of dealing with issues that had been made worse by all the delays. I am very truly happy for you!

31. Congratz!

Now,
That your life is semi under control, enjoy it while you can for the next three years or so.
Then begin to have that small black storm cloud following you, the three, five, seven year review process, where you more or less have to fill out the application form all over again, and if this new reader doesn't like your answers they can cut you off with no warning. Nice scary thing to have hanging over your head the rest of your life!

39. Congratulations!

I tried for SS, but after almost 4 years of applying and appealing, I think I'm not going to get through.

Warped primitive seems to think SS benifits should be given out like condoms at a liberbull arts college.
Ask, and ye shall receive.

I might be willing to stipulate that this Prog really is disabled, and that work environment was unpleasant, but for this comment!

Co-workers exasperated at this twerp's inability/unwillingness to do his/her full job are NOT in the least comparable to being under fire in combat. AT ALL!!!

This twerp was a student teacher? A 20-something? Unless this twerp's recreational chemicals kill him/her first, my kids are going to be paying for this twerp's leechery to the day they retire!

I read that comment and chose to finish reading the page before commenting but you wrote exactly what I was going to.  PTSD because of being "mistreated at a job"..  :rofl: .   Here's a clue, if you hate a job that much, it's time to go find another one.  Nobody is forcing you to work for an employer like that.  My guess is, this wasn't an employer issue at all, and the poster was simply a fragile flower.
