I had to go to a lawyer to get my ss. They
charged 30% of back money owed me. They did all the paper work, contacting
doctors and of course writing to everyone and arranging everything. They also
were at my hearing and presented my case. Since I did not feel well, it was nice
to have the lawyers take over all the work and most of the worry. There are some
lawyers who specialize in ss benefits. The interview is free; at least mine was.
You might want to check with one of them.

woes
well, i went to the tm.org site and to that
resources link and the tips for SS applying...and on those links were a link
for tips and when I clicked it it took me to some other site that had tips and
tricks and advice. I also signed up there and they called me, so they are
going to help me appeal and represent me at the hearing if need be. They said
they take 25% of any back pay.Which I guess if I hired a lawyer, would be
close to the same if not more.
Now I need to try and get a letter drafted,
and have my dr sign it. Not quite sure I am good at the wording
tho....
I have a phone interview with them next week,
and I am also going to direct them to the TM web site.
so what do you all think?

back from SS, and they of course have declined
it.

I got declined for my medicaid and they said I could work.
When this happened a dr wrote a letter for me and sent it in to them. Just
before my court appeal I got a letter saying I had been approved. One has to
have the right wording for them to read, I got my SSI the first time, this
was after I got medicaid.
Frank is right about writing the letter up and having the
dr read it and make any changes to it. Most drs have not time and some just
have no idea how to write a letter so SS knows how disabled you really are.
If you can't sit to work you are out of work, I am like that, can't sit for
very long and that is my main problem. It has been like this since I got TM
in 4-99.
I hope you can get things done right so you can get your
disability soon. I think once they rule on your case it is quicker once you
get the wording right. Take care and I will pray you can get your SS
soon.
Love to all
