going to ssi court today

[glock32]

Welcome to that dreaded 47%...I hope you can educate those here about who and what they are talking about when they call people "dependent".

It seems you are the one that needs the education. Note to the left; There is a difference between NEEDING help and playing the system, also known as deciding to be dependent.

Congrats on your case.

I too have SSI but it was a long battle. I have chronic pains and depression plus a poor sense of balance that I use a cane to walk. I also went back to court for back pay, didn't expect that but my lawyer found two psychiatric reports that qualified me much earlier. I won.

Thank you very much . I have been living in a one bedroom place with my daughter and wife for over two years . I can't wait to move when I get that backpay check . I'm happy she can have her own room now . It's funny the stuff people take for granted when the little stuff is all that matters . My daughter is four and will have a good Christmas this year for once . Her own room for once . I'm so happy and greatful

Impressive. Was this your first hearing? It's usually around 65% of initial claims get denied. Do you mind sharing what the heart defect is? I'm always interested in cardio pulmonary cases.

I'm curious now, this isn't directed at the OP, but just a general question.

We all read a lot, either email or copy paste to here, about doctors asking questions they shouldn't really be asking. Ie: do you have guns in your home? Are you depressed (when you stubbed your toe)?

There is this fear that if you tell your doctor your depressed they will come take your guns. There are now multiple people saying they are depressed in this forum, yet they still own firearms.

So my question is, is the fear of them taking our guns, because of depression, real or fake?

i guess it would depend on if you called a suicide help line by mistake and said that you were depressed and had guns. that's what happened to that one guy.

My depression doesn't mean I have suicidal or homicidal thoughts. It's a general feeling brought on by my chronic pains. I have injections and medications to control it.

Yea this was my first court hearing . I have pulmonary artery stenosis . I my depression and anxiety pushed it though . I have depression and anxiety because I cant physically do much . It makes me depressed that I can't take my kid outside to ride her bike because I would have to carry it down the steps . I can't run around and play with her . Even little stuff like playing in the house I have to take breaks . I am 22 and during sex I even stop about every two minutes from lack of breathing

They listed me as bi polor but I haven't worried about my gun being taken away because I am smart . I do blow up and can't control my emotions but , I know using my gun not in sd lands me in jail .

Have you had any consultations with a cardiologist about stent or balloon placement to open up the vessel? I'm just thinking that at 22, you shouldn't have to feel like a 65 yr old who has smoked all their life.

When I started to apply for sai I lost my last job because I wasn't there enough to hit my sales number . They thought I needed open heart surgery Ina few weeks I am going to have my heart checked out . The doctors like my asthma doctor might not take me too seriously because of my age and every time I went to them I told them I was going to get ssi . I score bad on my breathing tests and can't do a stress test at all . The only thing that helps my breathing is medical mj . I am happy that is around or I would be in the hospital twice or more a week. I am just happy that my family supports me and i plan on enjoying my life as best I can . I also have to get my tonsils out very soon

This is why I can't keep girlfriends. They get annoyed when I take breaks. :biggrin:

When you turn 50, two minutes will be long! :biggrin:

I have damaged nerves where the pulmonary vein enters the heart. Left atrium, left ventricle and AV node. I've had two cardiac ablation surgeries and one maze surgery which helped, but my heart is in arrhythmia about 40% of the time. I've had two infarctions and a TIA from a clot. This started when a few years back when I was only 44. I was scheduled for a fourth surgery in August but it was cancelled due to high fever. I have a virus in the heart wall which is causing myocarditis. They tell me the virus can't be cured. It sucks having these conditions. It's hard to plan life around disability. Your daughter is the best part of life. Loving her, protecting her, raising her and being a good dad is the ultimate good deed. I hope you find happiness in that. And I'm glad you got approved.

My disability started at age 35 (1985) and the year before I got T-boned in my truck. The impact was such that I bent my steering wheel and the motor mount broke. Darn idiot was hot rodding toward a blind curve where I was crossing it. I didn't think I was hurt but it showed up a year later as a whiplash injury compounded by my job as a transmission mechanic. Got laid off and couldn't keep jobs so I worked for myself doing odd jobs. Applied for SSI since then and didn't get it til 2000 where I was out of work for 15 years. That's how I qualified in part because according to them my disabilities wasn't severe enough. This tipped the scale in my favor.

I really hope I don't need anything like that I honestly feel for your pain . It's hard to tell someone has problems but I wouldn't wish anything like I have on anyone . I just try and stay positive and do as much as I can .

My wife was rear-ended in 2009 by a girl who was texting. My wife was stopped last in a line of cars and this young girl hit her at 55 mph. No skid marks. Never tried to brake. Hit her so hard the girl's motor mounts also broke. The impact threw my wife's car off the road. She broke ribs, clavical, cracked a neck vert, tore her rotator cuff, tricep and bicep, herniated two disks. The girl's lawyer responded to the lawsuit with several affirmative defenses.

1. That she was presented with an emergency for which she had no control and therefor was not entirely at fault. Yeah, she was texting and didn't see five cars stopped 1/4 mile ahead.
2. That my wife assumed comparative negligence in that she was driving a car that day and in doing so assumes the knowledge that she could be injured.

What?

The no-fault insurer denied the surgery stating my wife did not seed medical attention immediately therefor she could not have been hurt. What? :shout: I called the insurance company and asked if they were nuts. I told them she was extracated from the car and transported by ambulance to a hospital where she was admitted... and you guys paid the bill.

There's always the runaround.

I know I’m probably going to piss some folks off and I’m sorry but this thread disgusts me. The OP seems to be able to afford an Iphone, and a car and an Xbox but is whining because he wants his free health care (it actually isn’t free my taxes pay for it).

Where’s my free health care?

I have to actually work for a living and while my company does offer health benefits it would cost half my paycheck to pay for them ( the other half already goes to pay for the OP’s) I also don’t have a nice car like the OP I get around on a 5 year old, second hand Chinese motor bike so my wife can use the 16 year old car to get back and forth to her job (no free health care for her either).


I just got home from a 12 hour shift at work and my feet are aching, I do my entire job on my feet and I probably walked about 15 miles today. I’m glad I got the overtime though because we have a house note to make (no Xbox or cable for us) and there’s no such thing as extra money.

I’m sorry but there is something wrong with America on a very basic level if the OP can sit on his ass living the life of leisure on welfare while working Americans are eating out of food banks to make ends meet.

Appreciate your post - not because I completely agree with it, but at least it shows some degree of consistency. Trying to figure it out - how come, when it is "one of your own" dependency is just a-okay - but those "other" people....f'in' moochers.
