After 4 years of waiting...I have been approved for SSDI!!
This is a huge deal for me and my family. What it took to get here was sacrifices by my family I wish I'd never had to ask...But I made it with a roof over our heads and for the most part food in the kitchen....

Food stamps & thankfully I was able to get some financial help from a few of my relatives.

And now I can actually live without fear of loosing[sic] our home-because of the system Republicans want to dismantle.

I'm still in shock frankly but wanted to share...

End of the world my arse!...
BEST DAY EVER!!!!

2. Did you get a retroactive payment from date you applied?

oh..and in 2 years, if you are not old enough now, you will get Medicare A and CAN apply for Medicare B insurance.

congratulations! I know how much relief you and your familiy are feeling!



And now a whole herd of DUmpmonkeys crowd up the microphone to brag about their gravy train seats:

7. You should get a good back payment. I got over $4,000 for the four months

after my forced retirement.

It took me three years of fighting with the Post Office to get justice. The union had my back. Their advice was golden.
I'm glad you won your fight.

10. I feel bad for you...

I went to the doctor and said we have a problem. It took about 10 months from applying and being OKed.  I didn't even have to call in chits from my political friends.

11. Mr. d got approved first go round

I think due to several factors:

We live in less populated zone, there was never a waiting line at the Soc. Sec. office.
( but the state disability ( SSI) offices DO have crowded waiting)

14. Laz got a 8-year revisit last year after getting 100% disability in 2004.

Social Security asked for all the original documents his lawyer still had boxed up in a storage location, and he was lucky his lawyer remembered and sent her intern out free of charge to pick up his file and deliver it. She had forgotten to give us the entire file after he had been awarded 100% disability and the claim settled. Remember to keep your file, just in case!

28. I wonder too if it depends on the state

I got mine in 5 months without an attorney . But I live in a rural state, I was58 years old, my job was physical and the only type of work I had done in 40 years.

I think the younger you are, the more difficult the application process will be, the thinking being that younger people have a better chance of recovering.

15. Good for you!!!!!!!!. Took me almost five years to get SSDI. Many years ago I worked as a claims

adjudicator for Social Security. I still have friends working in the system.

Mine is currently in Federal court with another year before I see another court date. I've been declared permanently disabled but the judge decided to change the date of onset so I am not eligible for any money.

Been at it since 2003 so we are coming up on 10 years.

My wife got hers and it was all that has kept us from being homeless.

31. Fanstastic!

I remember what a great feeling it was the day I went to the post office to get the mail and I saw what looked like a check from the SSA.

I'll bet the boxing primitive got it because he's too fat to work.

Anybody want to take this bet?

Warms my heart that our paychecks will be getting smaller and this primitive will be getting more money in January.  :banghead:

4. Congrats!

I know the relief you feel. I went through it too. Mine took less than a year, but I was on pins and needles wondering how I was going to make it. I will be getting Medicare in April so that's another load off my mind.

I wish you the best!

I went to the doctor and said we have a problem. I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis and I was rewarded my first time out.

It took about 10 months from applying and being OKed. Perhaps it's because I live in Cleveland and the office here is well staffed. I didn't even have to call in chits from my political friends.

They don't even check on me every two years anymore.

I think the younger you are, the more difficult the application process will be, the thinking being that younger people have a better chance of recovering.

The more objective medical data you have, the better. MRIs, CT scans, etc. - things that aren't going to be open to a wide range of interpretations.

I had two herniated disks, stenosis, and grade 2 spondylolisthesis, as well as radiculopathy. I had several neurosurgical and orthopedic consults, and no one disagreed.

I'd be screwed for sure without this. I would literally have to take enough oxy to kill a horse in order to work an 8 hour day.

On edit - they've listed me as permanently disabled, so there will be no reviews.

The downside to all this? I'm in ****ing agony most of the time.

Took me forever too. It was such a relief to come back off the edge of doom into a safety net.

We are paying for all these goons to sit and post at DU all day. If you can post at DU all day you can work.

Yeah maybe I'm being mean but I'm sick of working my butt off only to have the democrats think up new ways for my check to get smaller and smaller. Meanwhile these goons are living it up.

Let me know when he starts whining about not getting a COLA increase in a couple of years because they "need" that money.

It's never enough.

By next month he will be bitching that it isn't enough.

Don't worry, it won't be much longer. We'll run out of money before they run out of greed. It will stop then.

That's exactly why the Democrats are fighting Boehner tooth and nail... they don't want the free money to stop and think if they can BS Beijing long enough to buy the next election, they'll be okay.  Reid and Obama have all the long-term vision of a puddle of piss.
