Granddaughters Denial From Ssd

[Josephine]

I will give you a brief synoposis of my granddaugher, 22 years of age.

Two attempted suicides, DOA by Judge to Mental Institution. November 2009.

Near fatal auto accident 2004.

25 jobs since 18.

Filed for Social Security disabilty. Her denial.

The evidence shows that you do have back pain and muscle spasms.

However, records do indicate that you have any severe muscle weakness or loss of control

due to nerve damage.

You do have mental conditons that affect your ability to perform some types of activities.

However, you should still be able to take care of your personal needs, follow simple

instructions and perform simple common routine work.

Records indicate that you are being treated for other medical conditions.

However, these conditions do not severely limit you from performing your normal daily task.

We find an adult is disabled if there is a physical or mental conditon that prevents you from

working.

The disabling condition(s) must last (or be expected to last) at least 12 months

in a row, or be expected to to result in death.

The evidence shows you have some restrictions.

However, based on your description of your past work as a sub sandwich maker, it is concluded

that your restrictions do not prevent you from performing that type of work.

Therefore, you do not meet the requirements for disability benefits.

In deciding this, we considered the medical evidence, your statements,

and how your condition(s)

affects to work.

If your condition gets worse and keeps you from working, write,

call or visit any Social Security Office

about filing another application.

Josephine,

Do her doctors know she has applied for SSDI, if not I think they should be informed. So that maybe they can provide their medical expertise in the matter, and verify the reason for her inability to work. Also, many people here have said it but I will again. Step away regroup, get an attorney and get back in the fight. Tell your grand daughter to Hang in there, and don't quit. I hope this helps maybe a little bit.

Best regards,

Bergie

I think a lawyer is needed here. Sorry about your Grand Daughter it appears that the wreck really is the start of her problems.Many who have car wrecks develop panic disorder. If you can she should get a good checkout with Mental Health.

Josephine - I recommend she get an attorney. It's standard fare for them to deny someone that young. She'll probably need to get to the ALJ level to win and an attorney specializing in SSDI law can do it for her. I recommend finding a local attorney thru the national organization of social security claimants representitives http://www.nosscr.org or she can use one of those nationally advertised lawyers/services. I had a great experience w/the atty nosscr.org referred me to. jmo

If she became disabled before 22yrs and 5 months she'll collect against her father's account. After 22yrs and five months she'll collect against her account but will need the required quarters.

Thanks everyone.

Phillip:

She turned 22 just this past October and went into the hospital the next month.

She has the required quarters to file.

Her doctors recommended for her to file for her disability.

Her parents are divorced and her father did take her to court at age 18 to

emancipate himself from her. This would be for child support money.

Her doctors feel it was the car accident.

They diagnosed her with PTSD and Bi-polar.

She takes the following medication:

Lithium

Effexor

Klopan

Tresodone.

She has been living with me since leaving the hospital by Judges order.

Thanks everyone.

I will be looking for a lawyer.

Again, Many thanks,

Betty

If her father was a Veteran and she is disabled by the car wreck or a Doc will say she was disabled before 18 she may be entitled to money from VA.

Maybe someone here can explain it.

Thanks Pete, No her dad was never in service, just her grandma ( me) and her Papaw.
