NEVER GIVE UP SHORT OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE HEARING. WHEN YOU GET TO THAT STAGE, IT MIGHT BEHOVE YOU TO RETAIN THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED REP THAT KNOWS THE ENDS AND OUTS OF THE RULES AND REGULATIONS AND WHAT LIMITATIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE THAT WOULD QUALIFY YOU FOR SSD OR SSI.
I AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFIED BECAUSE I ESSENTIALLY HAVE NO LEGS[THEY ARE TOTALLY USELESS DUE TO TM PARALYSIS] AND ONLY HAVE ONE ARM /// NO LEGS + ONLY ONE ARM = SSD BY SPECIFIC LOSS.
AS I SAID, MOST QUAILY FOR SSI OR SSD BY A GENERAL LIMITATION OR DISABILITY, AND THAT IS WHERE THEY GET INTO WHAT YOU CAN OR CAN'T DO.
YOU CAN GO FOR EITHER TO QUALIFY, OR BOTH. IF YOUR LEGS DON'T WORK, THAT, ALONE MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH, YOU MUST HAVE OTHER LIMITATIONS. IF ONE OF YOUR HANDS IS ALL CURLED UP AND DON'T WORK AND YOUR LEGS ARE USELESS, THEN YOU MIGHT QUALIFY FOR SPECIFIC LOSS, AS WELL AS NOT QUALIFYING FOR A GENERAL LIMITATION OR LOSS.
YOU CAN CHECK OUT THESE DIFFERING LIMITATION QUALIFICATIONS ON THE SSA WEB SITE, I AM SURE. IT MIGHT TAKE SOME GOOD AMOUNT OF WEB SURFING, BUT WILL BE WORTH IT.
YOU COULD ALSO 'GOOGLE' SSA DISABILITY OR OTHER WORDS AND SEE WHERE YOU GO AND GET. SOME SSD ATTORNEYS WEB SITES THAT DO SSD CLAIMS HAVE THAT INFO ON THEIR WEB SITES, OR USED TO. SSD OR SSI BASED UPON A GENERAL LIMITATION FACTOR IS AON A GRADIENT SCALE OF CAN DO'S AND CAN'T DO'S. IT IS SET OUT BY QUALIFIERS LISTED IN THEIR REGS.

When they denied people for disability, they should tell them what jobs, they think they could be able to do. So at least you can go try and do a job that is on their list. I just don't know what they are thinking.
