ptsd Ssdi Denial

[Angelo Hurtado]

Sad day, I got a denial letter..I filed for

PTSD

Depression

Back Injury

Left Ankle Injury/Arthritis

Sleep Apnea

the determined that my condition is not severe enough to keep me from working due to my age (25), education, training, and work experience.

Although I experience pain the medical evidence shows that i'm able to walk and move about in a satisfactory manner without the use of an assistive device (i use a cane what the heck)

they said my sleep apnea isnt disabling and that even though i may be depressed and suffer from PTSD at times, my records show that i'm able to think, communicate and act in my own interest. The evidence shows im able to adjust to ordinary emotiinal stresses and to get along with others...as well as to do my usual activites and to remember and follw basic instructions.

They realize that I cannot do my past work, but my condition does not preclude me from all work activities. Based upon the medical findings, it is determined that I should be able to perform work that does not require special skills, special training, FREQUENT CONTACT WITH MY COWORKERS AND CONTACT WITH PUBLIC

such a bad day man...I know most people get denied but I had my hopes up, any advice on where to go from here? I hope the Va doesnt deny my claim for TDIU

I would try and find a lawyer who will take the case. If you live in a larger city there are many SSD lawyers. Denials are what keep a lot of people in the SSA system employed including judges and lawyers. When you get a lawyer he will probably send you to doctors he works with to get new IMO's to prove to SSA that you are ready to breath your last breath. When you read their IMO's you will think " Am I really that bad?". I read mine and I did not quite recognize the person they were talking about, so I felt bad about my condition. Really, SSD is looking for someone who can't even be a greeter at Walmart. You can use the SSD material to help with your IU claim as long as it is for SC conditions.

Most get denied the first time. I had doctors doing mine that were experts, so that is why I got mine the first time around.

thanks john, reading it makes you feel like your not that bad off, like maybe I should go out and deal with my issues and get a horrible paying job that has me not meet or talk to anyone.

I guess its time to call Binder and Binder

Just a warning but Binder and Binder only take the easiest cases, which is why they have a good record. My sister tried them and they turned her down. She got another lawyer, specializing in SSDI law and won 31 months retro, last year, even tho she hadn't worked since 9/11. Try www.nosscr.org for an atty near you. Their explaination for denying you is standard fare. Something like 70% are denied twice and need to go to the ALJ route.

File a request for reconsideration.

Then find an attorney.

They are discriminating your age.

You will have to take this to the ALJ level. I have not seen any one under 30 not have to go in front of the Judge.

Hang in there. They deny 60 percent of the first claims.

Per SSDI info you write that you received the results ..."determined that my condition is not severe enough to keep me from working"... it seems doubtful you will get TDIU either as this is written here.

To get IU you cannot be able to work.

VA and SSDI review each others records/files. If sc you get va and "may" get ssdi but if not sc you may get ssdi but HIGHLY doubtful va unless there is a strong case that ties the medical diagnoses with the injury/disability...but highly not!! Sorry I am not the bearer of more favorable news...but never say never!

There can be appeals+ +. Good luck with your attorney pursuits. jim912@gmail.com might be able to direct you to some successful attorneys you could at least speak to. Nothing is ever easy.
