Love this channel... so much useful information... glad you are my attorney!

I have terminal brain cancer and SSA have been moving my claim slong pretty fast. Seems like qualifying for both SSI and SSDI. Interview by phone in 10 days. Wish me luck 🤞😃

The whole process is dysfunctional and broken. I've been at it for 10 years. All anyone has to do is look at the adjudication disposition data for approved cases. It stands at 40% of cases get approved on average. In my opinion, it's all about the government saving money over helping people who legitimately need it and deserve it.

Thank you Mr. Ginsberg For helping people when they are in need Love from DeKalb Mississippi USA 🇺🇸

Thanks for another great video. I've been trying for SSI & SSDI for a year now. Been out of work with back dibilitating pain for 21 months. Two surgeries, 4 steroid shots, nerve testing, 6-8 MRIs . I know its a slow process, but I'm running out of faith & finances fast.

Thank you for all your videos, Mr Ginsberg.

I hope you can take my case! Thank you for your service. Your videos are very educational!

Thanks for your dedication and info

Mr G like always you provide easy to understand information

I absolutely love your channel, I’m currently applying for SSDI , I’ve learned so much just from watching your channel. The only regret is that I have is I should have consulted with you or someone from your office before I applied. I did consult with a SSDI attorney here in my county and he suggested I apply on my own , not sure if that was the right decision . When a decision is made if I’m denied I’d love to have your help in deciding whether or not I should appeal. I’m not far from Atlanta and could possibly make the trip to your office. Thanks again and keep bringing the great content. Look forward to the next video.

Great Info. Thank you for sharing.

Love the channel. SSI is a racket. Why does a citizen require a lawyer to get benefits? It's a racket for the doctor and lawyers and judges.

Appreciate you. ❤️🙏

Thanks for your help 👍 🙂

I have many of the listings for social security and multiple drs records that say I'm disabled and recent x-rays MRI's and physical therapy and so many other treatments and I m still fighting social security after 13 years and some odd months

Hi, I applied for SSDI last Oct.2021. I did hire a disability attorney here in N.C. I had already been out of work since April 2020 when Covid hit and d/t a compromised immune system and a profession as an RN working in Home Health. I was able to get Pandemic Unemployment for 17 months. After applying for SSDI the wait began. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis Lupus Vasculitis Heart rhythm issues Vision problems Memory loss After 3 well planned SSA MD Consults I was approved for SSDI on 1st attempt on March 25 2022.....5 months after applying. I feel very LUCKY. I have read so many comments with multiple denials. While I was waiting for my decision I read everything I could find on You Tube and that was MANY. I think I read everyone of your videos relevent or not....LOL I just felt super prepared for what was to come and made my questions to my own attorney more knowledgable. Thank you for all the videos. Renate Nixdorf

👍🏼 great videos

You've been spot on keep it up

Good stuff thank you

I've just gotten my 3rd denial. I've done everything I know of to do. Trying to get a lawyer now. Smh can't control people unfortunately..been 2 yrs financially on the dirt. Can't even get my basic needs but will keep pushing forward. I'm going through the records I have and marking everything I can see so that trying to make lawyers job easier. I've got mental health issues on top of the physical but yet still trying to do this even w all the confusion.

I got my right away but the person helping me encourage me to get all my records so I did. We filled it in October and my 1st check was in my hand by December. We sent in all my medical records and the one who helping me highlighted thing he knows would help. My main problem was back issues and the new MRI help too.

thank you for this video

Thank you. I pray I will get mine.. almost a year now.. I'm on my reconsideration. And I do have a lawyer.

My nail snapped off filling out forms because they're so thin. This is so painful without help I'm struggling so much in pain it is making me have a flare trying so hard to think straight while doing this. I'm in tears.

Have my IMA meeting( physical exam and Mental exam in same day meeting) coming up in 1 week. Have 3 herniated in my neck,3 bulgin in my lower lumbar. Have had a left total hip replacement due to genetic osteoarthritis and have had severe left psoas tendonitis since left hip surgery which is totally debilitating. Can barely lift my left leg vertically without excruciating pain... get shooting sciatica almost daily down my right or left leg. Have lower back pain daily. Cannot sit for longer than 20-30 minutes nor stand for more than 15 or walk for more than 100 feet before I need to rest. Right hip is early stage of osteoarthritis and beginning to give low level daily throb of pain....do you think I will get approved on my first go round with disability? THANKS!

I had my hearing today the first this the judge asked me and my lawyer is that do I accept the onset date and we both said yes the the judge said ok motion granted then he went through my whole work history and finances from each year I’ve been denied once and that’s cause I was not diagnosed and didn’t have enough evidence but this time I had evidence I have cardiovascular disease with a swollen aorta along with very bad asthma can you tell me what you think about my hearing that the judge was doing I am really not sure what to make of it

I wqs diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and liver masses last june I filed for SSDI and my husbands ss denied twice waiting on a teri hearing I have an advocate, I meet you the blue book listings what could be holding up my benefits?

I was diagnosed with B cell Non Hodgekin Lymphoma last month, the doctor notes stated that I cannot work for 6 months. I work for the USPS and cannot lift boxes due to a medport placed in my chest for chemo treatment. Can I claim for Disability right now or do I need to wait for a year? Thank you

My attorney said I could win with just mental symptoms alone but ssa wants more regarding physical symptoms.

I wanted to ask I did file for ssdi your info is very helpful unfortunately I'm 38 iv been diagnosed with multiple myeloma stage 2 cancer now I have done put in for claim in August do you think my process will go a little quicker. I have been on top of it they have all my info I talk to who is appointed to my case worker once a week and my dr I see every week the dr has sent all of my paperwork I just have to do a mental evaluation as well Monday Oct 23 . So do you think it will take a long time like next year to recieve my benefits thanks

I'm in my reconsideration phase and hoping i get approved this time. Why is social security as such a long process??

I have been denied once sure I’m waiting on my second hurt so bad can’t stand it. Had a herniated disk got repaired went yesterday said I have bad disk and need injections to help. Already getting that done to my neck I just need s. s. d. Help, the sad part I have worked in pain for years because it was easier than asking for help. Nobody wants to help even when you are desperate

Hi. I have the same issue. Had an aneurysm. It all started with a migraine wich I never had one. Finally after 4 months of seeing opthomologists one sent me right away to the main hospital and right there and then I went into surgery, now I have 2 coils. Brain aneurysm. Now this June I had eye surgery.. I got a lawyer since last year. The only thing that's bothering and worrisome is the canceled DRS appointments , the clinics have been cancellig them and rescheduling. I wonder if that hurts my case?? BE STRONG WE ARE STRONG WARRIORS AND SURVIVORS JUST BY US BEING ALIVE 😇

I did my application by myself. First time and it was approved. Have also helped others get accepted. I enjoyed helping them and it wasn’t so hard. Just be honest and detailed. I have also been on SSDI for 20 years, turning automatically to retirement at age 65 which is in November. Will my SS benefit be reduced because of zero earnings while on SSDI????

Ive been at it for 10 Yrs and my list keeps growing. Chronic lyme, Sarcoidosis, diabetes, chronic pain. NOT FUN

i’m applying for ssdi for the first time & my partner helped me with filling out paperwork and getting everything mailed out promptly. the non-medical review was completed/approved 1mo after my application was submitted, i don’t know if that’s a good thing but that would at least mean i have enough work credits to qualify for ssdi, no? i just went to my mental status exam on monday 9/18, and am in step 3 or the dds medical review portion of the process (so says the website). i was working above SGA from mar-july from home at a temp/contract job, and attempted to apply for unemployment after my job ended, but found out online that an issue had disqualified me and i couldn’t reopen my UC claim. i gave up on that one, and then mid-august i get a random deposit from my state’s DOL, of i guess backlogged benefits i was owed way back from 2021. i didn’t even know about that and didn’t know why it was sent then, but i was just so grateful for the funds and paid my bills and moved on. THIS month i went to my mental status exam so it seems like things are happening kind of fast-maybe this means a decision is near? ❤

Is Chinese Oriental Medicine considered medical care by Social Security?? Is Japanese Healing Modality "REIKI" considered medical care also? Will Medicare & Medicaid pay for these? Many thanks

Not sure if IPF is a listing? Never thought that difficulty breathing would be what has taken me down. Been a commercial electrician for 40 years I figured back, arthritis, asbestos, etc. But hardening of the lungs is my demise now its just proving this to the SSD judge.

I have awful looking mri scans but they have never seen them. I don't have enough job credits for ssi. I cant't work I can barely walk after a bit..never too far without being pulled down. will I eventually get it without the credits.? I have many other issues they can see on mri and cat scans.

i have cll leukemia now i have the worst kind of it with 17 delusion 13 p53 . and more . but ssdi does not consider cll becase so many people can live for a long time . but like i say mine is the worst form you can get for cll. any hope of winning this . iam 60 worked the same job 28 years . i left this job at 56 do to no longer having the energy to do it . not due to cll as far as i know. but my blood work was always bad at that time i had low blood platelets for years. then last year they said i had cll.

PS- my initial back injuries began in 2013 p til present and had my total hip replacement in 2020.

I have a brain aneurysm, and before and since surgery I've dealt with debilitating migraines, pain, weakness, memory loss, and depression. Still, I've been denied 3 times. I have no idea what to do

Question. I was approved for ssdi in 2018. Now turning 65yrs this yr. Still seeing drs/testing etc throughout. But how likely % will i be subject to cdr since im nearing retirement age?

Permanent Quadriplegia from a spinal cord injury and a list of 5 more complications as a result. Does that qualify me perhaps?

I been applying for social security for 8 years and get denied. I have asthma and chronic Eosinophilic Pneumonia and Schizoaffect Disorder, Bipolar, Chronic Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Osteoporosis, irregular heartbeat and abdominal pain, Diabetic and i know how it feels when they Denied and Doctor from SSA approval you and they (SSA)said No

I have been unable to work since June 2021 I do get spousal social security I want to apply for disability, but don’t know where to start.

What if you have balance disorder, I’m an HVAC technician and can’t do my job.

Can we look up our own listings?

Are listings the same as grid rules? I imagine they are similar if they are not the same.

The social security office is alot of belonga and has broken system and is a bureaucracy and another thing people go in front of a administrative law judge . Instead of going in front a real federal judge.

Why does socal security only want the last three jobs?

Will SSDA tell us if the Dr is not cooperating with them?

Is it true that in regards to the claimants treating hospital's patient portals Where if a SSA DDS representative wishes too? or wants too? THAT Rep can utilize their computer systems ! Access a claimants patients medical records ? AND view those records ? Download any records that they choose to ? It's my understanding that they HAVE ability too enter a hospital their claimants treating hospital's patient medical records quite easily and that even easier due to some fancy newer SSA computer technology system created JUST FOR those kinds of things ? yes no ? I am not literate in computer operations. I also believe that from what I've been picking up in news THAT the dysfunctional structure of SSA it being so punished with Underfunding so harsh it's beyond ALL ELSE ? Understaffed to such a degree THAT it couldn't function ? And it IS actually & factually CORRECT too SAY ?

I have heard that you must be unemployed due to your disability for at least one year or more before your claim can be approved.Is this in fact the case.

I meet 2 listings end stage renal failure with hemodiakysis for over 2 years I also have proliferative diabetic retinoparhy with 20/200 vision in my better eye I've been waiting on SSA for 10 months! With an attorney I'm loosing patience

You can't collect Social security Disability if you are over the age of 64 years old at age 69 years old and a Vietnam Vet in my book this is age discrimination by the Social security Administration.

I have a brain Tumor(actually 2) and they cause me to have seigeures (sorry about the spelling) two or three times a day. I have been put in the hospital several times, for 5 to 7 days for the really bad ones. I can't work, I cant drive, hell after I have a bad one I cant even read for a few days. What do I have to do? Sit in their office and shit my PANTS? If that is what it takes, that is what I will do.I've been trying for over 2 years.

I don’t know after watching this video whether it is good or bad to have voluminous medical records. He is not making sense one way or another.

What if you have old MRI'S/XRAYS, but the doctors say you have had more of them then you should have and are hesitant to do recent ones? Doctors do recordings at the appointments of the info said, does ssi ever access any of that? So basically for ssi they just want the details on the application that match your medical records. If it doesn't show on your medical records they find you questionable. I read from some books that YOU have to prove your case, or whoever is representing you. But basically you have to have the mind frame that whoever is working on your case knows nothing about you, so you have to do the work to show all the proper info for your medical info. Just thought I'd drop a tip of info lol.

SSA pays 10 dollars for records.
