HELLO EVERYONE WELL I GOT THE NEWS THAT THEY DENIED MY SSI. AT FIRST I WAS A LITTLE UP SET. AND AFTER READING THE JUDGES DECISION THERE WERE A LOT OF LIES AND THINGS THAT I TOLD MY DOCTOR THAT WAS NOT IN MY HIS NOTES. SO GUESS WHAT, IM GOING TO APPEAL IT. I HAVE 60 DAYS TO APPEAL WHICE IS A LETTER THAT MY MOM HELPED ME WRITE. I BROKE EVERYTHING DOWN IN MY LETTER. I DONT THINK IS RIGHT. AND THE LAWYER THAT I HAD WAS NO GOOD AT ALL. I THINK SHE WAS MORE ON THERE SIDE THAN SHE WAS MINE. THATS OK THOUGH WITH THE LORDS HELP IM GOING TO KEEP ON TRYING.
Praying for you !!!

Draginfli, Ang has a discussion on this. I just signed up on this site and got an email with tips on applying. Please check this out, and they ask what you are specifically needing help with - appeal and they'll send you some tips and information to help you. It can't hurt. Good luck to you and don't give up : ) Trisha

I wish you all the best…Deenie
Hello Tanya,
I'm really sorry mate that they've turned you down and from me your appeal sets them straight, it's a right performance to go through when your so ill plus get a new lawyer mate also.
Tanya i liked your thread in another way because your so up beat on your comment about
You would'nt believe the amount doing it here also in the uk and it makes me mad when there's so many genuine people out there trying to get it....it's a pure insult to injury as the saying goes.
Stay positive mate and i'm wishing you all the best from me.
(((Loads of Love))) Terri xxx
Keep trying Tanya god will prevail
Tanya
I know its a pain but have you considered using an agency for help. I used a company called Allsup and they got my SSI in about four months which as you know is wicked fast for ssi. After I was denied I just turned it all over to them and they ran with it. just a suggestion.
God Bless
Hello Tanya,
How you feeling now mate after adding your discussion?...just keep fighting and you'll get there finally although it's one hard struggle.

Julie,
Good suggestion to Tanya!
Trisha
Keep trying and I’ll keep praying!
over 90% get denied first time they try. older you are easier it is to get since you are close to SSI.
Main thing is all your doctors must be on board. I suggest to hire a local person who use to work for them( ssi) since they know the games they play.
All doctor or you if you like to try...is find 1 case that is extremely similar to how you have lupus that has won and now gets SSI. Precedent law is all you need. But person who knows where to look etc is work the 5/6% he takes of your settlement. No stress...just he does it all. Even represents you in court!
DO not hire tv guys since often they refuse to represent you in court at last minute. Non profits ones who say they take only like 2/3 percent ..all are newbies. I seen too many people waste years waiting for them and they told me i never get it. HA i did!
Most important....if you can work keep working you will feel much better..i much rather right now be able to work than have money to live on...but that is about it.
SSI can give you list of people in your area who are approved by them to represent you...they must be on this list or SSI does not recognize them.
older you get...easier it will be..too. do not give up hope..also your employer must try and work with you....as in if standing all day hurts..then they must you get you stool
or chair that adjusts...etc. reasonable requests. Your rheum doct should be able to help with this...you migh ask him for suggestions. If you rheum doc does not believe you should be on SSI
i seriously doubt you will get it. so ask how he can make your work better. i wish i had spoke more to him about work and staying there....good luck, lg
Hello Tanya,
It would be lovely to hear off you to know how your keeping since they made the wrong discision.
