They changed my mothers work schedule from 2nd shift to first shift after 15 years...

Advising Donnies Mother to fake a slip and fall is bad advice besides being illegal and immoral. She could lose the job over something like this...

sounds like something walmart would do

No kidding.

Donny is apparently trying and there is no reason why he and his mom shouldn't help each other and there's no reason for anyone to have to move out if both like the arrangement.
Family? Remember that old fashioned idea?

I'm wondering about SSI and disability, too.

The SSI I have tried for twice in the past and it wasnt until recently i learned the letter sent to the SSI administration from the Pyhsciatrist clinic I go to, talked about me being depressed, but no mention of the head trauma I experienced, and no mention of the numbness in my head and the disoriented affect/mental fatigue/overload that occurs when I try working long days.

So the SSI Administration made it sound like I was disabled from depression and not a head trauma and the negative affects that come with the type of head trauma I experienced.

They used words that did not represent me or my head injury,

I also learned they pay SSI out of the so called revenue side of the ledger...therefore, if you put 2 and 2 togther, it becomes obvious people with disablities are being rejected because it reduces the amount of profit the Administration or State can keep.

So people know I am not a complete loser...I developed handy man home improvement skills along with auto repairs over the years, so I am able to work on my mothers house and repair her car and that sort of balances things out.
Example:
Water line busted in front of house, would have cost $2200.00 with a plumber, but I got there and shoveled away, dug up the busted polybutulene line and put a new copper one in its place and only costing about $250.00 for supplies.

Why don't u use a mask and kick the shit out of the manager there?

You should not accept this nonsense.

Getting moved to first shift is usually considered a promotion and here you are whining about it!

Me thinks you're never happy regardless of what happens!!!

1* because you WHINE too much!!!!!!!!

I've seen this before. Those who really need it can't get it.

My dad for one. It took forever and he could barely walk.
We could barely get him to his doctor's appointments because it hurt him so badly to get to and into the car.
He finally had to be taken by ambulance for regular visits.

It took months and months for his disability to come through.

The problem is not that I cant work...I do work, I work as a handyman for various homeowners (including my mother's home) but the problem I experience is when my mind is put under a work load, is when I become disoriented/center of head develops a numb like feeling followed by severe mental fatigue/overload (sometimes throw up and swallow it when this occurs).

And because I'm working by myself for homeowners...the homeowners do understand if I need to stop and come back to finish what I have started, unlike a regular employment job may not be as understanding.

The problem is I am not able to work long enough or consistent enough to develop any "substantial gain" that would be needed to self exist.

Dear Jackie childs... i take it your joking...? But im in a cantankerous mood this morning so i will obviously assume you arent so i can vent...;) i think you are missing the point...illegal and immoral is what this company is doing to a 67 year old lady..losing her job is the motivation behind them switching her shift...so stick the stick up their arse before they stick it up hers...

Donnie...then go to a temp agency get a night shift job for now and do construction work on the side until business picks up...at 67 I think the cash cow may have hit a bump in the road and you may need to act fast or you guys may lose everything...

Yep let's keep up another useless eater .

.45 works best Donny

He didn't know. :/ If he had said that AFTER OP's post about his health, fine, but he didn't.

In 1985, highway I 83 didn't have any lights up where the deer crossing was. But not so much me hitting the Deer, it was the car that was driving in the fast lane where I was laying near my motorcycle. The man driving the car was coming back from his birthday party with his wife, drunk.
He wasn't aware he drove over me or anything until he ran into my bike after me, then dragged my bike until it caught on fire and his car caught on fire...

I saved the State Police report and pics of my bike and helmet that was cracked inward where the tire track was going across it (starting at the mouthpiece) If I didnt have a full face helmet on, my jaw would have probably been crushed.

Luckily I saved the State Police Accident Report and pics or it may sound like exagerated BS

I should have been wearing a Street Bike helmet instead of the Bell motocross Helmet because the Street Bike helmet would have had more padding surrounding my head, maybe not of suffered an impact to my head as much as I did with the Bell helmet.

Donny, sounds like you've been given a bunch of terrible advice so far. Since there is little you can personally do about her work situation, and if you have the capacity, you can do everything possible at home. Take it upon yourself, make it a daily mission to take care of your mom. It might suck for you to play housewife, but it is what it is and won't be permanent. Make sure everything is done at her house so she rests and spends quality time while home.

That is what Ive done...I pretty much remodeled her whole house inside over the years to make it a nice place to call home.

The SS Administration has turned into a Corporation. It has forgotten the reason why it was created and for whom it was created for. They should not be holding funds used for disabilities on the revenue side of the ledger. Now, it will look as if they are losing profit when the pay out for someone's disability.
Also the words they use on the documents may not be representing the person or their disability.
Example:
On their denial letter, they have listed "disabled from depression".

Im like..say what? Disabled from depression??
I had a closed head trauma with a tear in the frontal lobe of my brain and they made it appear as if I'm just depressed!

"Disabled from depression" describes the majority of the country, I was disabled from a closed head trauma.

Can you see what they are doing?
They are using words that do not represent the person's disability, or they will have their own translation of words...words that you may not know are being used and unless their translations of words are used when applying, they will reject the claim.

People need to catch on to how we are no longer being represented, but rather, mis-represented....simply through the use of semantics.

It sucks. But shit happens. It's life. Don't like it? Make better life decisions. We still have free will.

At Anonymous... you speak as if you will not be held accountable for your choice of words.

My mother's mind is strong.

They tried breaking her in the past, and as time went by, she witnessed those same people come and go.

She even had a dispute with the Corporate office allowing Doctors to overcharge patients or charge for more that one biopsy, she would take extra time to correct the overcharging, she warned them to fix it, but they didn't, so she took two of the Doctors to court even without a lawyer because of the extra work load put on her because she also had to work as an auditor which wasnt her job.
Of course she didn't win, but she showed them she is not afraid to challenge them.

They talk to her and treat her with more respect now, but every now and then, they will still take a jab at her.

She made it clear to her Supervisor it was wrong how they dropped a schedule change on her so abruptly, and that she owed her an apology, she also let the Corporate office know and they sent someone down to talk to her to see how things could be made better.

I wanted to say something to my mother's Supervisor but my mother told me I didn't need to speak for her.

My mind cant take the work load.
I've tried numerous of jobs in the past as well as different shifts and almost every job, I failed.

The one job that I have not failed at up to this day is handy man work, working for various homeowners.
I wont get rich working as a handyman, but at least Im able to work...and a satisfying feeling with the work as a try to turn someone's house into a home.

And plus I am able to help a Homeowner who cannot afford to pay for the cost of lets say... a Plumber or an Electrician and so on..

I suffered severed head/neck trauma a little over a year ago. I can say, no one has one fucking clue what it is like unless one has been through it.

Having no ability to live a normal life, hell can't even ride a lawn tractor to cut my yard.

I have asked myself time and time again, what use am I? Being handicapped with very little abilities.

I live it everyday, i try to sleep with it every night. A nice juicy NY strip steak, hell any cut of steak for that matter will never be enjoyed.

Suffering a trauma to the head is far different than a physical trauma.

At least with a physical trauma, if you have a strong mind...

But when someones brain/mind becomes damaged...its a whole different ball game. The main computer system has been damaged.

And forget about trying to explain to someone what its like living with the results of a head trauma because since they cant "see" the damage..they'll assume you are just lazy.

Very little attention is given to people who suffer from the results of a head trauma, especially the SS Administration...you would think these people would have more heart.
