My Disability claim has been denied
I got home from the Montgomery County Democratic meeting and had another E-mail from SSA.
It's been really really demoralizing even though my lawyer told me to expect it because it involves my back. (almost all back related disability claims get denied)
I've spent all morning on the phone with my lawyer and we've already filed the appeal. I just fear that there will be a further gutting of services and therefore cause longer delays. H guessed that the process to get in front of a judge, after reconsideration etc.. will be 7-8 months.
It is really hard to keep a healing and positive energy base as this goes on but I promise, I will try. I'm praying and meditating, I'm celebrating all of you being my spiritual support family and trying to treat this as expected and to roll with the punches.
My breathing is going real well, consistently over 2500 on the incentive thingy. I'm taking Cuddles back to the cemetery again this afternoon for our special time and really grateful that I have the walker chair because there's no way I'd make it otherwise.
My back is a real struggle as i have to lie down as soon as my walks are over to alleviate the pain that I have from almost any movement.
The good news is I had 60 days to appeal and it got done day one. So no unnecessary delays. I do appreciate my lawyer spending more than 3 hours doing that with me by phone.
I love you guys, please stay with me.

Your back?? :whatever:

I've been having some very serious back issues for the last couple of years, and within the last few months it has gotten worse. To the point where I fall down. I'm still working 40-60 hours a week.
I have a job that requires working at height at times. Mostly going up stairs on above ground tanks, but sometimes climbing ladders to the top of the tank. My problems are preventing me from climbing ladders and the steps are a very serious challenge, but I do what I can and get a check.
If he can go to functions and type, I think he should be able to work.

Your problem is obvious. Try seeing a doctor instead of a quacktor.

Should have claimed a mental disability.

I have several spinal stress fractures and yes it is difficult some days to get out of bed but I manage this heroic feat and drive my sorry ass to work where my almost 67 year of body puts in 40+ hours per week. I also manage to ride a bicycle 100-150 miles per week and do what needs to be done on our 3.5 acres of all paid for. My plan is to stay employed for another 5 1/2 years, start collecting SS at age 70 and put as much money as possible into our retirement nest egg. I do not know how these poor Karen's expect disability or just SS as their only income stream to pay all of their bills for the rest of their lives.

I believe that would constitute a violation of the 8th Amendment against Cruel and Unusual Punishment.

It's the political analog of JWs' "Watchtower Study". To JWs it's not torture.

He doesn't need to. He's had a GoFundMe up since December that's netted almost $6K. I think this update is just to try to make sure the donations keep coming. MVD should be taking lessons from him.
