I have been using Allsup for over a year now. My claim has been denied twice and we are waiting for a date with the administrative judge to appeal. I have been told this process takes anywhere from 2-5 years depending on the case load of the admin. judge in your area. Patience is the key. Allsup has taken care of all the paperwork, filing etc. I also am TDIU. It took only 6 months. SSI will deny you or offer excuses why you should'nt be approved. SSI told me that I should go back to police dispatching, even though I am on methadone, hydrocodone, gabapentin and have a non functioning implant. I asked for a job with SSI in a dispatching setting and was told that I was on narcotic and pain medication and could not be hired. Imagine that! Now, would a police agency hire me under these circumstances?

Patience is the key. Let Allsup work for you. They claim 70 some percent success at the administrative level. Good luck.

What is Allsup? Do they take part of your retro if you win SSDI claim?

It is 25 percent or 5300 whichever is less. Any amount must be approved by the ALJ or appeals council. I used a an attorney. ALLSUP actually tracked my claim for a disability company. They were real helpful.

With my attorney, I won at the ALJ level.

Mudman, what part of West Virginia are you from?

Greetings,

Allsup did a great job for me as well, however you still must be proactive on your part. Mine was setteled and approved by a ALJ and I didn't have to go infront of anyone. They handled it all. I would would use them again. I hope this helps. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
