SSI disability

Yes you can if you like living on $700.00 per month. Not a great lifestyle in my humble opinion.

wait til the may 2013 edition of psychiatry comes out - grief is now a recognized illness. can collect with that diagnosis too. /eyeroll

Not quite that simple...

A lot of folks are really gonna be depressed when they learn that the earned income credit for having kids is gonna be taken away. Yep! You won't get paid for having kids anymore. TPTB want their fucking money back!

Medicaid for kids is gonna be rolled into "pay for it care" via Obamacare too. Sneaky..

Maybe the Mexicans will stop breeding like Rabbits now.

I had my foot cut off almost fully and put back on in aug after a drunk driver hit me I can no longer fully walk and have a whole bunch of screws and plates in my ankle ..

SSI DENIED

cocksuckers and I paid into it over 10 years

YOU need to get a lawyer who handles the shit. You always get denied just about all the time the first time. Everyone does.

I would agree. Not just any lawyer. But one who specializes in SS.
:way...:

I heard good things about binder & binder

SSI or Supplemental Security Income is a welfare type of system for the poor which is now paying 710.00 per month. The system that you paid into from work is called Social Security Disability Insurance or SSDI. And you are correct if you paid in for ten years you will receive payment. This is nothing like SSI and the processes should be different I would think.

In other words you could have been denied due to the fact that you qualify for SSDI.

But if you have an "emotional problem" you will get it. I know a guy who gets SSI because he has "Asperger's" and can't hold a job. Give me a freaking break.

you have to be under a doctors care and out of work for one year just to initially apply

This is basically true. You're thinking SSDI but call it SSI, which is not the same. And yes the process and qualifications are totally seperate. Check into SSDI instead. you can start a claim online, which is good cause that will be the date they use to determine back payments.

You have to be out of work for 6 months, and your disability is supposed to be severe enough to last at least a year. You need to get a lawyer.

all emotions will be considered a mental illness
lack of emotion will be considered a mental illness

you be judged crazy as a mutherfucker

If you did indeed apply for SSDI and not SSI and it was SSDI that turned you down, get yourself an attorney. People think it is not worth paying an attorney, but it is. You need to know that rarely does one get approval the first time. You may have to pay an attorney up to $5000.00, but it is only paid if you are awarded SSDI and it is taken from the retroactive allotment you get, not out of your pocket. Things is you will get approved at some point if you get an attorney.

And I should say, my husband is one who recently got SSDI for a mental illness. Please don't tell me my husband who is forty years old and worked for 22 years of his life should not get SSDI. He can in no way return to work even though he wants to do so. I am living this nightmare right along with him. It took 20 months to get the SSDI, with a law firm that specializes in this process.

The amount of SSDI depends on your income and how much social security you have paid in over the years you worked. If you have any dependant chidren, they are eligible for dependents benefits. However, you have to account for how every nickel of the child's benefits was spent. Dependent's also get retroactive payments.

Thanks for the help everyone Yea I heard that you pretty much get denied the 1st time always.

1st application ia basically ALWAYS DENIED so i hope you replied by THEIR DEADLINE.

I was denied by both. Both saying that I would be able to return work in a shorter than 12 months.

Some of the bone actually was broken off so my ankle can never actually heal so eventually I'm going to need another surgery where they literally fuse my bones together and I will have no motion in my ankle anymore. So essentially me walking is like a fuse on a bomb. I had my doctor even fill out some form stating all of this out and it did not matter.

I'll try to start looking for an attorney this Monday
