I don't know if it is as cold as was described to you but it is routine.

Her first priority tended to be cancer or other cases where time would be of the essence. Real injuries like yours were right up there on the list, too. It is true that a lot of really lame applications came accross her desk and she worked hard with key doctors to deny the ones that were clearly scams. From what I remember, describing your disability accurately was pretty imporant, so you may want to have your doctor help you with the 'magic language' that will tell the story clearly to someone who has to read many, many cases every week. Don't get discouraged -- there are real people at the other end of the paperwork stream. Real people who care about the well-being of other real people. <BR/><BR/>All the best!<BR/><BR/>WebfootAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-1157867472693796132006-09-09T22:51:00.000-07:002006-09-09T22:51:00.000-07:00I think the voc rehab counselor was probably right...I think the voc rehab counselor was probably right. I know a guy who is in his 50's, developmentally disabled and a double amputee. Every few years he comes up for a review and has to prove to SSI that he's STILL disabled.<BR/>Hmph!<BR/>-mokeymiddleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-1157867044381138992006-09-09T22:44:00.000-07:002006-09-09T22:44:00.000-07:00I hope you got this person name.I really feel this...I hope you got this person name.<BR/>I really feel this was very inappropriate. Please don't tell me this person was just being honest. I know a young girl 22 who is on SSI and to me her disability is not like yours(rhymatoid artheritis). It doesn't stop her from going out dancing and drinking. Today she went to sixflags. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee. Don't get me wrong I'm in the medical field and I know about this illness. Fill out the paper and let the system do it job. Don't let anyone discourage you. Keep your chin up. <BR/>Rumford teapot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
