carlacat Posted February 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 I may be able to help some on this. I filed October2002 and got denied, did the reconsideration appeal and got denied april 2003...then the heavy arms come out. I went and got a lawyer, and went before the judge in August 2003 but he had everything he needed but an evaluation done by my pyshiratris(however ya spell that) so I had an evaluation done and last friday my lawyer called and said the judge was going to make a decision instead of going back into court and thats when he awarded me fully favorable. Just be honest and I know what ya mean about the paperwork. Yeak!!!Carlacat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzy Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Congratulations! What a relief!I was wondering what state you are in?Has anyone in Ohio had much luck getting approved?I am at the point of going to court and was told it would take up to a year to get a court date.

divine spark Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 I highly recommend that anyone going through the approval process for SSI, SSDI, LTD (both ERISA and non-ERISA) or going through a review join the Disinissues group at Yahoo. com.:http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Disinissues/The advisors in this group include attorneys who specialize in these fields, as well as patient representatives. In addition, patients offer what worked or didn't work for them. The information provided by this group is invaluable; I have learned a great deal from them just from reading the emails and wish it had been available when I was going through the initial application processes. (Even though I already had a very capable attorney fighting my LTD review battle last year, I read these faithfully every day.)Their links also include information on Canadian pension matters although the emails have been limited to U.S. plans only.You can win disability with the right stategy.I hope you find this information empowering!
