Hello all,
I applied for Disabilty and I need to know those who have been aproved for disability, what helped you (do you think)? I am going to start a journal, of things I can't do. so that if they ask... I also applied for State disability aide, which will help untill the SSD steps in. I just have to get the doc to aprove the diability, and he said no problem. Thanks all for your help. I put down: Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Major Depression and Migranes I have a lot of documented proplems when it comes to my medical records, I just am not sure what to provide them. if you have any idea, of what helped your case I'd really apreciate it. Thanks :P Posted on 11/19/09, 03:11 pm |

I was approved within the minimum amount of time (6 mos.)and I really believe the focus was on the depression. I did have to see a psychiatrist for eval, but that was it-no other doctor and didn't have to appear before a judge. I was approved and my case won't be reviewed for 5-7 yrs. Couldn't have worked out better. Good luck to you!

thanks so much hebro. I hope that we will be so successful. What part of the depression left you incapable of working? I know what it is like for me, but its hard to put into words I think. Thanks again so much.

Hrutally hi, What truly helped me get SSD even without using an attorney I was approved in 18 mos. and received retroactive pay, was to write down everything on that form and be bide would be the rutally honest I put down my thoughts of fear. My thoughts of thinking my family would be better off without me, maybe suicide would be the answer was a thought I had a number of times but (certainly I never acted on that thought.) I describee my pain in detail elt as I felt it and what I felt mentally etc... I cannot espress how important it is to do this. My form was over flowing with all of my thoughts and fears.
Take care, Sadea

Hi again, I cannot express how important it is to write down all your terrible and truthful thoughts. My writing ran off of the page and I had to use and extra page. Don't worry about how you write it or weather the forms looks like a total mess in the end. Be brutally honest about your thoughts!! Say even the things you may have never told anyone!!
You may be sent to a Psychiatrist by SSD and if you are speak all those thoughts as you are writing on this form. Hugs, Sadea

LOL, I apologize for my typo errors. If I rest my palms on my laptop the curser will end up someplace else in my writing.
