SSI doctor found I have PTSD and my doctor found generalized anxiety disorder. Hearing judge after the hearing said she do need anymore doctors report. Week later I was given a fully favorable decision. Now waiting for payment center. Resource interview is done.
I have a sever mental illness. I have a hard time understanding things. I took to long filling out the papers the dr gave me and in the waiting room he started screaming at me calling me stupid. Then I had to go back in the room with him. He scared me to death and I couldn’t stop crying. His nurse came in a whispered “I’m sorry” you’ll be ok I’m here. She was nice. He wasn’t. My caretaker called Ssdi and reported him. Nothing came about it but I did win my case.
I have the same problem I suffer from dizziness and migraines Iam death in one ear I can't eat food like I use to my face hurts all the time on the left side it's hard for me to chew because of my tmj issue
In the event that you lose your benefits because of that mean A hole keep a phone voice recording when you go to any of these things. Make sure the doctor does not know about, find it or see it. Then when he berates you like this you have the evidence. Who knows what he does to his other patients and he is likely to be mean like that towards a lot of people. If anything it can prove to the SSA that you have a hard time being around others because they might treat you similarly. I know it is tempting to tell the SSA good things but try to be the most pessimistic person who ever walked the earth. Don't tell them anything they don't ask for either. Volunteering ANY information will doom your case!!
Last time I had to go to a social security doctor, I told social security that I only see women doctor's. When I told social security this was because of my personal beliefs, and that I was not comfortable alone in a room with a male that was not my husband. Social security tried to tell me that I didn't have a choice. When I bought up the fact that they had to respect my religious beliefs on that issue I finally got sent to a female doctor.
Thank you. I wasn't sure I was able to mention anything else. I did have 1 exam and an xray. I'm now at reconsideration. They will be sending me for another exam. Since then it's not just my lower back but my neck and now my knee goes out. This is the longest, hardest thing. I applied in 21. Its now 24. I suppose it doesn't help that I have no insurance for a doctor and I'm single and can't work to afford a doctor. This pain is going to be the end of me. It's constant. At least if I can get disabilty I can qualify for insurance. Not that it will help much, but if I could get a solid 4 hours sleep that would benefit me greatly.
I went to two of these S.S. appointed doctors. Exams were about a month and a half apart. Oh! I have not been diagnosed yet, but I likely have MS. Fist exam was to evaluate my physical ability. Second was to evaluate my speech. The first exam went pretty much as you might expect, evaluating my walking ability, etc. I walk with a cane. She asked if it was a prescribed cane. I said no, which I have since learned is the wrong answer, and I have since got a prescription. Other than that, I think it went in my favor. I think the speech evaluation went more in my favor! First of all, this doctor or pathologist immediately showed sympathy for my condition. Much more so than the first doctor. I took a speech test for at least an hour. Never wanted to fail a test before in my life, but I think I failed this one. My speech comes and goes, when it gets bad, I start to slur my speech and even develop a type of stutter. Halfway through this test I was slurring my speech and repeating words I had a hard time pronouncing (this is what I mean by a type of stutter). What surprised me is she asked me question not related to my speech. Like about showering and preparing meals. I'm glad she asked those questions because the first doctor didn't ask anything about those things. And of course, these are important questions regarding your ability to function. I have difficulty with those types of tasks. Medical evaluations were about 6 months after I applied. it is now about 9 months and have not heard anything from S.S.D.I.
Yes.. im trying to get my son help. Medicaid pay so much the rest is out of pocket. I applied when he was a month old because he was in the NICU and the Children Hospital said he going to have hearing and vision problems. They good he passed thw hearing was going to a specialist until they stop taking his insurance. Now he can't see. Cant see the specialist until next year. But they want him to see their dr which im okay with it. It just i got stuff organized already.
I have a noticeable musculoskeletal disorder but I’ve been denied disability since birth, I think missing limbs are a obvious disability but I guess not
Seems like the examiners must be blind! I heard that the SSA makes people jump through a lot of hoops but that is just ridiculous. You know who would have made it worse? Trump, he is the one that made it harder to get or keep benefits. If I am not mistaken Biden repealed Trump's terrible rules. People can say what they want about Trump but he is just an a$shole and nothing else!!!
I have a scheduled appointment with SSDI. It’s with a local doctor but not in his office. It’s at a local hotel in the conference room? How is this doctor going to do a proper exam in a hotel conference room? The doctor has an office and works at the local hospital but SS is doing this on a Saturday in a hotel? Any idea why?
Hi. This is not normal. Call the SSA analyst that is handling your case. Their phone number will be on the forms that were mailed to you. Tell them you'd like to be seen in a doctors office.
What I have is a learning disability of some type. It is not something visible or affecting my speech. At least you might think that I don't have the disability if you don't know me enough. I am afraid someday the SSA will send me to some doctor who is known to rush things and seem to find nearly everyone not disabled. I have been in special classes all from K to 12. Any class that was available as part of the SED program they would prefer that I was in them and so did I really. I took a not SED class in high school and flunked it miserably. The name of that was running a business. Why they put me in that one I don't know. Maybe they just wanted to try me out in a harder class to see what happens. In the event they do send me to a doctor, what are the alternative ones I can see that I choose instead? I know it doesn't necessarily have to be *their doctor* but really they are just looking for evidence that the disability still exists. I really don't want to take a Stanford Achievement style test where it feels like you are condemned to read incomprehensible questions, fill in hundreds of little dots with a #2 pencil or worst of all write an essay (one of my huge weaknesses). What can I do if I want to see a different doctor than the one they send me to who you would think was bribed to say that everyone is not disabled? I am not on any medications. A long time ago my school tried to put me on some and my parents fiercely fought it knowing that the pills would do more harm than good. I also strongly disagree with taking any medication that would make me worse or seem to take away any personality I have left.
Have you tried votech. My son has a ld all through school also. He went to votech for hvac with accommodations and is making good money now. He is also very honest with his employer. It's embarrassing for him but he had to do it.
