HadIt.com Elder dav_marine72 Posted September 14, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hi Everyone, Still waiting on all my VA appeals but yesterday I finally sighed a huge relief. Social Security judge determined that I suffer from severe degenerative disc disease post 2 failed surgeries at L3-S1, severe depression and anxiety secondary to the spinal condition. She ruled the state agency did not take into account my subjective complaints and that the state examiners opinions that I could work carried little weight compared to the numerous doctors opinions of my disabilities over the last 13 years. The award went back several months before I filed so that was a bonus. It's BS that I had to wait a year and a half but thank God I did not have to appeal this one any further.
