Hi Eddie, we are glad you were able to get the help you needed.

I’m in the same boat, 54 years old had the widow maker heart attack only 30% injection fraction Was it a pain, and did you. Have to get a lawyer to get it approved

@@HillAndPonton So I just applied for SSDI 092821. I'm 63 with Diabetic neuropathy. What do you think my chances of being approved are? I use work as an Accountant.

@@HillAndPonton So given what you said in the video, what do you think my chances are for SSDI approval with my age 63, HIV, High Blood Pressure and diabetic neuropathy?

May I ask what type of medical condition you have. I have one as well no meds yet

Bless you and prayers. I'm hoping you will be approved. I had worked 39 years as a nurse. I had great difficulty with arthritis in my back and knees but I kept working. Covid in December left me with two pulmonary embolism and now 5 months later still dependent on oxygen. I'm being evaluated for CTEPH ? Most days I can barely walk. I applied in January and expecting a denial as I've heard that's usually the case. I am praying you get great news !

That is weird as at 62 you could retire early and get regular Social Security so I don't understand why this judge would be jerking you around as the 29.7% saving (at 62) isn't that much and boarder between 201.07/.08 and 201.06 is very fuzzy,

Did you have an attorney when you applied for SSDI? 3 years seems like a long time with so many abnormal medical records.

@@mhs0407 yes, finally approved. Now waiting for my 5th back surgery. It’s the final one, I’m out of spine to fix! God is good, He led me to a new surgeon!

If iam on disability now age60 can I get social security and disability at age 62

What is SSA?

It took me a long time to get approved, I finally had to get a lawyer to win my case. And the judge said he was very disappointing that I had been denied so many times. I worked and dealt with my symptoms every day of my life for about 30 yrs that I worked, But I ran out of being tuff and I just could not deal with it any longer. I just went to the E.R. about 3 or 4 month ago. I get what I call flares and the nerve pain is unbearable to where I wish someone would just shoot me. I had a real bad happening when I was very young. I hit a brick wall at full speed on my bike. And at the time the right side of my face was damaged and it should have killed me, And all they did was sent me home after I came to from being knocked out for 47 min's and told my mom not to let me fall asleep for at least 3 to 5 hrs. And now that I am much older you can see that the right side of my face is caved in. But anyway don't give up and stay strong....

Keep positive attitude!

How does that even happen?! Someone needs to assist you immediately!

Hi Carmen, I am very sorry to hear about your struggles with these issues. Please feel free to contact our office at 386-257-2100.

@@meredithhpmoderator713 thank you, I will be in touch this summer and hopefully you will be able to help in any capacity

I have some of those conditions,my attorney told me go with depression on top of all the other.

This was a year ago. You should have gotten your full retirement by now and wouldn't need disability. You are also entitled to Medicare at 65 as well. Good luck to you. Hope you are receiving your benefits by now.

I had severe Cervical Spine Stenosis at level C3-4 and had a Cervical Spinal Laminectomy on 2/7/2022 and had a telephone interview with Social Security Administration on 12/23/2021 and got approved on 2/15/2022 and I was shocked that I was approved so quickly because of all the negative comments.

Waited 4 years. Got approved after 2 hearings.

I feel your frustration!

@@briancooper2112 that’s awesome!

It takes a while

We are very sorry for your loss Rennie.

what is your disabiilty.

Glad you finally got approved. I filed at 58. Was denied twice, then finally got a hearing in front of an ALJ with an attorney, and I finally got approved for SSDI after almost 3 years. The attorney was worth every single penny of that $6,000.00. I'm 62 now and in Texas.

My guess is that you would complain if they were given ANY government assistance. No matter where the money comes from, the taxpayers will have to pay for it. I for one am ok with that. Most people nowadays are between 1-2 paychecks from being homeless and that is a damn shame.

@@azcatlover 😂And there is your problem Dawnmarie Kruchoski (Arizona bound)!....You are guessing!. And your guess is all it is....just a guess, because you don't know nothing. Read the whole post! I'm stating Social Security should only benefit those who PAID into the system. If someone who has not PAID into the system, I stated there should be another assistance for them. So where do you get (guessing) I am complaining if ANY government assistance is given. As far as Social Security goes.....Taxpayers are not footing the bill. Social Security is funded through payroll tax deductions by the employer and employee. You need to educate yourself So my guess is... you are a DA blonde Karen thinking you actually know something and only like kickstarting others with your unknowledgeable babble. I for one know what it is like to have to do what ever it takes to make ends meet. At one time, I worked a full time job, TWO part time jobs, Army Reserves, AND being a single parent! Do you even work? Or are you receiving your husband's benefits? I can tell you don't go to school. You prove it in your post. I suggest you research how something works, function, or operates before attempting to comment about something your are in fact unknowledgeable about. Because when you do....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It shows people how dumb you really are and you give blonds (if it is your true hair color) and bad name. Also, what is a damn shame is people playing the system. Being lazy, selfish and living off of the system which is funded by tax payers. AND you are ok with this? You are ok with those type of people living off of hard working tax payers who maybe 1-2 paychecks from being homeless? I am actually a very compassionate person, and I do respect where warranted and earned. From your comment.....you lost it. However, if our paths ever cross, I wouldn't mind meeting up for breakfast or lunch and just chit chat and give you a chance to prove me wrong, and may be become friends. I don't wish you any ill will. But, you drew first blood😂😂 Dawnmarie Kruchoski (Arizona bound), I do wish you the best and God bless. Take care of Evie, it gets hot in Arizona

What do you propose then?? That people starve??

@@feralLove Really...."That people starve"???? where do you get that from the posted comment? The comment is about people who have paid in to the Social Security system and those who have not paid. SS should only be available to those who have paid in to SS. The government only oversees the SS funds (which they are doing a poor job at it). Nothing in the comments about feeding or not feeding people. There are local and state programs available for someone to get some thing to eat. You trolls make me laugh with how you read in to something that is not even there and start complaining about it. Again I will state Social Security is funded through payroll tax deductions by the employer and employee. It is not funded by the government. If you have not paid in to the system, you should not be eligible to receive social security (other than survivor benefits). You and Dmarie have read in to the posted comment and added your own trolling thoughts.🤣🤣

They can just use the lost benefit of many that have passed before they even reached retirement age. Government gets to pocket all those funds that a lot of people never even get to collect.

You mean SS. SSI is something else. No problem.

You screwed up never should have gone back to work , that was dumb

People can make their own decisions. Maybe they felt capable and missed working. I think they get points for trying.

@@eddiekulp1241 I agree, once you go back to work they will use it to against you for sure! That's just how they work

@@ourtravelingzoo3740 Sadly, governmental agencies will use anything against you to deny benefits For example, if you are asked to remove your shirt for a VA doctor and are able to (no matter how painful) they will claim you have "mobility" and the VA with use that to deny disability. Took my brother writing to his congressman to get his 200% VA disability. It is scummy as all get out but it is why people don't try to improve as they fear (rightly) it will be used to remove or deny in the future.

You showed strength of wanting to go back to work. That is good, it also shows that you are not trying to misused the past Disability that were granted to you. IF YOU APPLY WITHIN 5 YEARS YOU MAY BE RENINSTATED. Anything after that. you must go through the disability process again. Please! do not let negative people here detered you for trying again. If your disability is getting worst and you have medical records that shows your functioning are weak and poor .. that is what they must see..

I'm sorry, we would not be able to tell you if the virus is causing any type of slow down for your particular case. It would be best to call your local Social Security office. We wish you the best!

Ok'd a telephone hearing

Massive slow down. Overloaded with cases. Unemployment insurance has been a God send to most. This way they are collecting while waiting for verdict ssdi. Can't be working while you wait

+Debohah Tinkham : Who is "they"; and what is the "reason" that "they" give for saying that [you] "can't get disability"??

@@ticks4ticks4 social security and that I have to b 50 they say and I got a doctor note from last year too

@@tweety73845Okay. What stage are you in the application process. Have you been sent for any CE (consultative exams)? Do you have a hearing scheduled? Have you been denied twice yet? Do you have an attorney?

There are to recommend you go to Vocational Rehabilitation

why

Age becomes a factor in being able to transfer skills, transition to a new field of work, or find an employer willing to take you on and invest the time to train you. That is why age becomes a major factor in a successful SSDI claim and why many attorneys prefer to take on these type claims. The Grid Rules are pretty straightforward and an attorney can apply them on their own (prior to taking on a client) to judge the likelihood of a successful SSDI claim. Younger applicants have a much lower likelihood of success. SSD attorneys are like everyone else.... they don't want to waste their time on low percentage cases that might go either way depending on the day a judge is having. Age is definitely a factor.... and attorneys know it.

The ladies in this video are referring to the grid rules. You were not approved via the grid rules, but another way such as a listing or less than sedentary RFC.

That's exactly right,you see they never commented on my post.theres people in they 60s that have a lot of issues goin on,Thier struggleing to get it.they'er full of it.
