diabetes Got 2 Packets From Ss For My Ssdi And Ssi Claim

[Cm Burns]

I got 2 packets one from atlanta one form kentucky (or at least that is where they are to be returned to) Do anyone know where in the process I am. No appointmetns as of yet. They asked what i did day to day and my work history again. my work history is sketchy there could be some jobs i forgot to be honest i have had a few of them.

Can you tell me anything about what is going on any of you who know.

I applied for ptsd only. I submitted my nexus as proof as well as my medical records and my long list of medications i take. I take 2 heart meds, 1 for diabetes, 1 for sleeping, 2 for pain both narcotics, a muscle relaxer and a tablet for my ptsd.

my gaf score was 48

I am wondering if its going to take years and if it possible i will be approved from you guys opinions. any info as stated would be appreciated.

ps

according to http://www.allsup.com/about-ssdi/ssdi-guidelines-by-disability/post-traumatic-stress-disorder.aspx I do meet all of these qualification as far as symtpoms ect.

First, you need to remember that SSA SSDI is 100% or nothing!

Next, you will need to know what the SSA records show for your contributions.

Finally, as to work history. The SSA records should show what years you were employed, and the per year contributions.

With this information, it's possible to use the SSA web site to calculate a rough estimate of what SSDI/SSA will pay.

Having said that, I'd also say that (assuming you have adequate medical treatment records) that it's better in your case to apply listing all the conditions that have a significant effect on your ability to gain and hold a job.

Another interesting tidbit has to do with your age when you apply. The younger you are, the harder it is to get SSA to grant SSDI. The optimum age is actually just before you turn 62. Since you can apply at 62 for early retirement (assuming enough credits), SSA considers the dual application as showing that you are really not able to work. The early pension will be paid, and assuming you are successful with the disability claim, eventually the retroactive difference will be paid, along with a change to SSDI. The SSDI rate is the same as if you had taken normal SSA retirement at full retirement age. When you actually reach full retirement age, the SSDI payment reverts to normal retirement. If you can show disability prior to the date of application, the law allows (if everything is done correctly) a retroactive date for the start of eligibility and payment. This may add say six months payment(on average) to your SSDI.

As to how long it will take SSA, that's anybody's guess. I suspect that they may send you to an exam at some point to determine your disability level. The exam results and your medical records are normally reviewed by a state agency (Kentucky?) at SSA's request. You may eventually see a document that says "fully creditable", if your claim evaluation is favorable.

Cm Burns,

If you want the process to take months instead of years, I highly recommend finding an attorney who will help you at this stage.

Most SSDI attorneys say "Come to me after you've been denied" or "been denied twice" because the majority of applicants are denied at the 1st and 2nd levels.

Just my 2 cents.

All the best! :)
