This letter is so bogus,it isn't even written properly.

It says (We realize your condition prevents you from doing your past jobs,if any,but it does not prevent you from doing other work).

Conditions not condition.

The (If any)??? doesen't even belong in the sentence.

They mention 7 of my illneses were did the other 7 go???

They called my interstitial cystitis a blader problem that isn't serious and it hurts so bad I cant sleep and would fall asleep driving to work,and road testing cars.

At 9 in the morning when my lawyer office opens I will be making my appointment.

I had to take chlorpromazine just to stop pacing and raging.

maddog,

i'm so sorry for you! i've been there; done that for 5 yrs. until i was approved!

what were the OTHER reasons you were denied; that's very vague. i think mine had other stuff too...

can't remember, did you have lawyer from beginning.

here's the key on winning SSDI, disability insurance benefits:

now your drs. need to complete each of the questions based upon on how your HEALTH TODAY; not last day you worked:

RESIDUAL FUNCTION CAPACITY, RFC, form

maddog, did you have your drs. complete this? their medical typed reports need to agree with what they are saying there too.

how long you can do the below examples daily!'
*******************************************************

0-2 hrs., 2-4, 4-6 , and 6-8 hours

sitting,
standing
lifting
crawling
bending
climbing
using your hands
cognitive skills

it's these things your being approved for will win your case! NEVER THE ILLNESSES when it is NOT on the list of approved list of impairments!!

so for those denied or just submitted, go immediately to minoucat's info and print it off; read over and over to comprehend it all.

then get those needed documents to build your case of winning 1st time, 1st step. otherwise it takes 2.5 years to get your admin law judge hearing face-to-face or a LIVE CONFERENCE video one.

we're all speaking from personal experiences.

in my case, my hired lawyer of almost 4 entire years quit me when 1st was at appeals council where he did NOT SUBMIT A BRIEF; so after 2.5 yrs. of being there and NOT opened; AC did NOT have to look at my 3-4" file. they only had to look over my denial from aljudge's notes!!

i went thru both of my 2 claims and started noting things taking 8 wks. to do this. typed up my report and used their list of APPROVED IMPAIRMENTS showing their chapters that matched my medical conditions documented by drs.

had connie's special Q/A forms completed, and i feel the things I DID were what won it for me, and i had a video live w/judge. he said it would be several months before i heard from him and NOT TO CALL HIM.

he approved me in 2 wks!! went back 3 yrs. but NOT back to 1st claim!

again, i feel your pain, anger, and rejection of THEM NOT BELIEVING YOU!!

DDS uses the expression...darn, lyme fog but it implies we are NOT TRUTHFUL, and i resent that to no end.

my pcp said he used to be a DDS dr. called to do these exams, and he was accused that all the time.

best wishes, and keep us informed ok.

CONNIE MC could have some good info for you; send her a PM so she's sure to see your link, etc.

try to get a good night's sleep.... [group hug]

So soory the system is so warped.

I heard that it is helpful to call your Congressman for help.

It can't hurt give it a try. If you can go to the

district office in person, go to "office hours"

when the Congressmen would be there.

My denial was messed up too, said the same thing

about not being able to do your current job.....

it said my disability was the inability to

focus???huh. STUPID

WE WORKED AND PAID INTO THIS MONEY WHEN WE NEED IT WE GET DENIED

Sounds like they were following a form letter. Try to bring it to a higher level. You know the adage about the squeaky wheel.

I got disability on Interstitial Cystitis....but not from SS .. It was from my teacher retirement system.

I also had fibromyalgia, but I don't think that was taken seriously.

IC is incurable at this point in time and causes great disability.

Keep trying!!

Live on to fight another day oh great warrior!!!

they say it usually takes 3 trys to get her done.

I guess they use those first ones as weeding out those that arent sincere.

But I know you to be the 'Maddest Sincere Dog' in THIS fight!!!

it WILL happen,just dont know when!!

I dont know HOW people are expected to live on ZERO income,pay bills and survive for THAT long.

Are you playing Daniel Boone and hunting and fishing enough to keep some food on the table??

I NEED tomato growing advice, do you have any??
