ptsd Ssd Exam
Hello All! I'm currently rated 100% combined serviced connected disabled: 70% PTSD 60% bullous skin condition 30% Irritable Bowel Syndrome 20% Right ankle arthritis 20% Left ankle arthritis I stopped working in March of 2006 mainly due to PTSD. In June of 2006 I applied for SSDi. I was filing for all my disabilities, but mainly the PTSD. I filed online and completed all (and it was a lot) of the paperwork they sent me. I was scheduled to see an SS doctor yesterday 12/27/06. I went to the appointment (he was also a general practitioner) and the doctor only asked what caused the PTSD and nothing about my PTSD symptoms, all he was concerned with was if I h…

Question On Psychiatric Evaluation!
I have a question on my Psychiatric Evaluation. The SS sent me to see a psychiatrist for a mental exam approx. 4 weeks ago. They sent a copy to my doctor. At the end of his report under "FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT & MEDICAL SOURCE STATEMENT" he wrote: "At this point he would be too anxious to work in any environment. He would not be able to attend. He would not be productive. He should have psychotherapy related to this and I suspect with time he will desensitize. However, this will be a long-term process". Under the SS rules with the main criteria being whether or not a person can work at any job, wouldn't you think that the SS should give me disability, or am I …

Submitting Evidence After Hearing
I had my hearing but feel it could go either way. Main reason is one of my better C&P results weren't available. I didn't have time to get my last C&P results. But, I did give the ALJ my last award letter that made me P&T because of this last exam. It cited the exam results for a couple of issues wich deems me unemployable. I'm thinking that if I'm denied I have a good chance at appeal with the actuall exam. Also the ALJ is aware that this report exists and for the most part what it says. So I'd think a denial without it would be premature. The question, can it be submitted after the hearing? Or is it best to wait for appeal? I'm VA 100% schedualler P…

Reconsideration For Ssdi Onset Date/quarters Concern
Your thoughts? In my reconsideration for SSDI from what i read, I will need to prove disability onset date then validate date of current quarters .Looks as though my impending VA disability onset may be dated back two or more years. That is within the 10 year window of when I did have valid SS quarters. I am worried also about some temporary work I did and how affects the SSDI application? . My jobs were occasional day jobs, few and far between. AM I thinkin' ok here? Thanks, cg

Ssd... Is Medical Exam A Must?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they have ever have gotten SSD without a medical exam from the state doctor? I applied about 3 years ago and had to see a state appointed doctor. Now that I re-applied, because of even more seriuos conditions, do I have to see a doctor again from the state or will they just go by my own doctors diagnosis'? If so how long does this usually take. I don't remember it taking this long last time I applied. I know they tell you 120 day which is on my letter from them, but we all know that is onoly a number and not neccessarily an acurate timeframe. Thanks in advance Tamara
