For those Applying for Social Security Disability Benefits
Here is a great site that has actual copies of letters from Social Security to people who have applied for Disability Benefits.
http://www.ssdfacts.com
It also has wait times, alot of insider information that has come from Judges, people who have worked in the Disability office and people who have applied for Benefits.
From reading through this forum, it seems this information might help alot of you that have applied for Benefits. Thanks for all the great info on this site. I am thrilled to be a part of it.

5. Thank you
I was going to start looking at the forms etc. this week.
Caveat: I don't think this is our former colleague the nocturnally foul one; I think it's some other primitive with a similar name.

11. Forms
I wanted to let you know that they just put an entire file from a disability case on their website. It is great as it lets you know what social security is looking at and for. Definately worth a look if you are applying.

9. oh do tell it took me almost 5yrs before the Judge conceded the Dr's were right...
workman's comp & state disability pension but SS told me to go back to work..funny. You sound like a * administration appointee,deny,deny,deny,deny...they will go away.It got so bad in NY the media started questioning the "culture of denial". So you think its easy to get. Calling in dead is easier.

10. Thanks
I registered and will check it out later. I've been turned down 3 times and think it might be time to start over with the process.
