Turing for short term SSI

Post Reply New Topic

What y'all our saying is I should see what in my area frist before I try for SSI?

I edited my post because I felt that my first writing was too confrontational and directed at you and I didn't want to direct anything at you. I am sorry about that. My frustration is with the process.

From what I have seen, it seems that SSA has an organizational bias against approving even those who are qualified, which is why most people end up getting approval at the hearing level.

It also seems to me that the paperwork itself is designed in such a manner that it is completely unclear as to what SSA is looking for - the function report, for example, is quite misleading.

"Bad judge" is exactly what my attorney said. For example, one justification he used was that I had never experienced any periods of decompensation since 1996, so that opinion overrode multiple other better-informed professionals. The fact was that working was extremely difficult for me at the time as well, I just hadn't admitted it and kept trying. The other fact was that I had experienced multiple periods of decompensation since 1996, and he ignored all references to those. He also ignored every listed severe impairment and refuted each of the impairments identified as moderate or mild as if they existed in a vacuum.



Yes.

It's okay, understand. But if that so, the system is very mess up. I mean I just need some help, I'm jobless but I'm about to enter a program for disability people and I have insurance but it by my parent and they don't pay my copayment so it pretty much useless to me cause I have no money. And I really really need my anxiety and depression meds, plus I have hashmoto diseases. I mean I just need some help. It just wrong if I can't get it.

Not necessarily first...more like at the same time. SSI takes months, if not years, before you get a check. So apply for that, and if eventually you get it, that's great. The combination of Hashimoto and AS might be sufficient. Just don't make that the ONLY thing you are counting on. Go to SRS or whatever agency that deals with public assistance in your state and see what you qualify for. Sounds like you will at least get food stamps. Go through voc rehab, too, because even if it doesn't work, that can be used as evidence in your disability case.

I apply for SSI, I think, online I hit submit online but I'm not sure i did it right. I'm gonna apply for one other thw virgina common someone show me and that but I don't see much else right now but I'll keep my eyes out.

Ps why is everything I do in life a lot of hard work for ever little.

Found something even more annoying. All the benefits programs I've found that all programs want info on all member In the house hold. I live with my sister and her husband, who was kind to take me in; they make good money too much for benefits. It stupid just cause I live with them doesn't mean I don't need the benefits. This is crazy.

THey want information about who you live with but their resources shouldn't count against you. I've received various benefits based strictly on my resources while living with people who had everything up to and including owning their own homes.

Okay I see. I've never done this before, so it all new to me.

If you don't understand the online apps, you can apply directly at your Social Security office for SSI, and you should be able to go directly to the department of social services in virginia and have an actual human tell you what programs you qualify for welfare-wise. In Kansas, when you go to the office, they determine eligibility while you wait, and you walk out with food stamps that day. Might be worth a try going in person to make sure that you don't delay the process by filling out some form incorrectly (I'm told many states make that easy to do, to try to decrease their welfare rolls). Make sure you make it clear to the person helping you that you have a disability that requires assistance in filling out the forms, as it is required by law that they provide you with assistance if you need it. It will also help them to determine if there are any additional programs you qualify for because of your disability.
