I take morphine daily and was working as a paramedic on an ambulance. I know I cant do any meaningful work anymore. I applied for Social Security and was denied, I am at 6 months on my appeal. My lawyer feels sure I will get it eventually. I expect to be denied again and have to go before the Judge. I am getting pretty frustrated on this appeal taking so long. My late husband got his on his first go around and heard in 3 months.

Are you in Canada Kelly? I for my disability in Canada, but fought for it for 2 years, kinda like Addi did.

Have any of you been sucessful in appling for Social Security Diability or Does Social Security not see this as a Disability?

Yes I am very familiar with the Social Security evaluation process and Social Security does use the services of outside physicians and psychiatrists to do an evaluation but it should be noted that under Social Security regulations the weight of the evidence of a treating physician or psychiatrist always is greater than that of a Social Security physician or psychiatrist. For more information google "disability secrets" and also go to the Social Security website at ssa.

I was approved for Social Security Disability in February of 2008. It has truly been a lifesaver for me. My psych doc and my family doctor had to fill out a lot of forms, and it took nearly a year for approval. I am bi-polar (depression heaviest) and also suffer from many physical illnesses brought on by my mental illness. I believe they ARE fair, and if your doctors are supporting your quest, approval will happen.

Social Security Disability (SSD, sometimes called SSDI for Income at the end) is based on how much money you have earned over 10 units (years) so you would not be eligible for that. However, they have Social Security Income (SSI) available for people with disabilities or retired. It is a very limited income, usually about $700 -$800 a month, but you would be eligible for Medicaid (medicine is 2 - 4 dollars, WOW - I pay $600 a month), food stamps, section 8 housing.

To even be considered for Social Security Disability, your doctor would have to submit a statement stating that you are unable to perform work of any type due to your back issues (and any other medical and/or psychological problems you may have).

Are you asking about social security disability? From what I understand here and on my womenheart board, the process is extremely slow and excruciatingly precise. Don't look for anything to happen right away - the norm seems to be 3-4 years. If you have the resources you may want to consider hiring an attorney to help the paperwork process- that seems to speed it up a bit. If anyone out there knows differently, please speak up. I have not been through the SSDI process personally.

Every time my husband get a good positive job, he ends up losing it because of this disease and this is getting to be a bit depressing and discouraging for the both of us. Can he apply for disability benefits and get it or do you feel that maybe the social security people do not know of this terrible disease and we as a whole should go and let them know that this is a disability and show all documentation on this disease so they can help the ones who really need help for this disease.

I for one do not receive social security benefits but will probably be applying for them at some point in the next few years I would imagine. I'm looking for people's SSDI 'stories' if anyone feels comfortable sharing. This information will be very helpful to a lot of people and I thank anyone in advance for responding to this post.

As I was losing so much time at work I decided to file for my disability insurance which demands you request social security disability. I am now 30 months into the system with worsening symptoms and still just got denied by the judge in my social security case. I am at my wits end. I have now been without insurance for a year and need the medicare. I am 56 years old, so it should be obvious that I am not trying to "work" the system.

he will have to go threw the social security takes about 12 monthes..mine was 18 monthes the shrink didnt turn in the paperwork..

Paula, Although Im in the health care field, does not mean I am not ignorant of the steps one has to go through in the process of obtaining disability from social security, but the way you described your experience, it seems as though this is the way they weed out those who are "not" disabled though claiming to be. It is so unfortunate to see our government treat its own Americans as if we are pariahs. Why can we not take care of our own first anyways?

Hi Ruthy, I am currently using Allsup.com to help me with disability. Social Security currently does not think FMS/CFS and Lupus are a disability. They believe since some can work with these symptoms. My FMS is really bad. I haven't worked in over a year now. I can't take Lyrica because I am allergic to it. I am currently on 2700mg of Nurtin and on several other medications--none seem to help really. I use a lot of pain pills just to mask the pain so I can make it through a day.

I applied to for depression post partum depression anxiety and depression.. Anyone ??

I warm welcome to all the individual or families to give financial support by giving them Social Security Disability Insurance.But how to aware everyone about social security disability insurance program provided by Social Security Administration? Please let me know your views.

I am on social security disability. I had to fight for it, and fortunately, my congressman fought for me and that's why I got it. The judge called my lawyer and said, "I want to get that congressman off my back" lol. The judge said I would have to be reevaluated because MS improves...no joke, he actually said that. Hmmm, I wonder what he's been smoking! I was one of the fortunate ones, it only took me 2 years.

m 26 almost 27) and apply for social security disability benefits. I am sitting here still in shock that my career is over. I cried to the doctor (not like me) and he apologized and said that I am no longer fit to work. I am a medical coder - the job is pretty sedentary - but highly stressful. Since I only get relief of pre-syncope laying down and I can not sit too long or stand too long without passing out, plus my other symptoms I am deemed unfit to work.

Thanks, I did not realize those SS bulletins were for disability. I thought they were for retirement SS. I am new to the world of social security, though. So far I do not like this world.

You can definitely apply for SSI, Medicaid, and food stamps for both yourself and your dependents. There are also other benefits that you may qualify for but the names of those vary by state, but if you inquire at your Job and Family Services Office, they can help you apply for everything for which you qualify.

2007, but I am just overwhelmed with Life and Work, I fear I cannot fight Depresssion Symptoms that have never been cured, since 1997 and continue to work, I am afraind the stress of work as I fight these Deprsssive Symptoms is going to cause me to relapse bigtime. Should I apply for Social Security ? One person told me they thought not unless I try ECT - My one Doctor told me ECT was barbaric in his opinion.
