I applied myself 16yrs ago (bipolar) & after 3yrs of being homeless. I was approved on my 1st try. I was told you had to be unemployed for 1 year before applying. Then I had to see 3 of their doctors, etc. I started out getting my $27k back pay, then $1700 plus $697ea of my 2 kids but that stopped when they turned 18. Now I take home a little over $2k a month plus my Wife's Paycheck which is the only way we are making it. I've never done anything or heard from SSI/DI since. It was just like an Auto Set income amount that I receive. We've applied for Medicare/Food Stamps when my Wife was unemployed & we were only approved for $9 a month, yes! $9 a month for a 2 person household at that time I was taking home $1800 a month here in TX.

We need to keep them focused on these issues. like SSI they don't count the first $80 This is outdated it's simply not enough. $80 doesn't even pay gas to get to work. On SSDI if you work they will review you. Why aren't they encouraging people to work even a few hours to pay into the system? They are focusing on catching fakers. They need to focus on getting people to pay into the system. Even if it's just 5 hours a week, at least you are contributing.

I’m truly stumped, I filed for SSDI In Oct. 2022 after 45 years of flawless work with many years I maxed out the tax liabilities of my social security. I finally at age of 61 realized that I could know longer do the physical job that I was employed at for over 35 years, so I retired and filed for SSDI. I have 6 disc removed from my cervical and lumbar spine combined with a neck fusion (4) disc from my neck. I also have high BP, NASH, Gird, hypothyroidism , and degenerative disc disease in my spine and I have a total of 11 of the ailments listed by SSDI. That could entitle me for disability and I turned in many many X-rays, C-scans, MRI’s and doctor reports from my primary physician, orthopedic surgeons(2). Neurologist. And endocrinologist and yet SSDI is sending me for a consultation exam (CE) with their doctor. Do they think I’m faking or surely they couldn’t need anyone else to say that I am disabled. What gives???

How do you end up getting this max of 3400 or more? Is it related to you being married and or having dependents or is it related to what you were making prior to when you became disabled? My application just became 100%, so now I'm waiting for my letter as to whether I was approved or denied.

How long should a benefit processed be in your claim to complete it at a processing center? It was sent there back in July and 2 days ago a benefit authorizer has started to finalize.
@TheDisabilityDigest10 күн бұрын
The time it takes for a benefit authorizer to finalize a claim at a processing center can vary widely. It depends on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the workload at the processing center, and whether any additional information or documentation is needed. While it's difficult to provide a specific timeline, it's generally a good sign that a benefit authorizer has started to finalize your claim. This means that your case is actively being worked on. For more information on the timeline for disability benefits processing, you can watch this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8VpadtquLjNoac.html. Hope this answers somehow!

@TheDisabilityDigest7 ай бұрын
I understand your concern about the discrepancy in your estimated SSI retirement benefits. It can indeed be confusing when the numbers don't seem to add up. The estimates provided by the Social Security Administration are based on your current earnings record and assume you'll continue to earn the same amount of income until you reach retirement age. If there's been a change in your income or work situation, this could potentially affect the estimated benefits. To better understand how your Disability Check amount is calculated, I recommend watching this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8ekerOovpyXco0.html. It provides detailed information about the calculation process, which might help clarify the situation for you. However, for more personalized assistance and to understand the specifics of your situation, I would recommend contacting customer support if you are a member of the Disability Digest.

They took until Oct. 2021 to approve me. Did I get a huge retroactive check for the months between filing and approval? HELL NO! They said I wasn't disabled until July 2021 and that I had to remain disabled for 5 months after they determined I was disabled, before I get my first check. And even then, it's an additional month for that first check to arrive so I didn't start collecting until April 2022.

Hello, After being unable to work any more.(at the end of 2017 - After working full time for 39 years straight), I began applying for SSDI. I was denied 3 times in 5 years. My 3rd application, dated Jan 2022, is in process, and I received notice 2 weeks ago that the medical part is complete and I qualify, beginning Jan 2022 🙄. Now, it goes to an administrative office for final review & determination (online it says 90% complete). My question is; Given that I stopped working in Dec 2017, will I have enough points? Also, I probably averaged 40k a year in my life. Will I still be eligible for the maximum payment? (i.e. Will they take into count when determining my amount, that I worked that long, or penalize me for the last 5 years, even though I was trying to get disability?) It sounds like the 10 year rule is unfair given that it often takes many years (and multiple denials), to finally get accepted. (And, my denials said, that it was due to their not being able to get my medical records from another state. That's not my fault. I gave them hard copies of everything.) I believe that SSDI should be looking at the big picture of your life, and I worked my azz off and paid into Disability for those 39 years. Thanks very much for any info that you can provide. I'm SO stressed out, waiting on that final letter, that I can't eat or sleep. It's literally a life line for me.

@@TheDisabilityDigest -Thank you for replying. I guess I just have to continue hoping and praying. How awful that they take SO long to process applications (while people suffer needlessly, mentally, physically, and financially). It seems to me that they could eliminate a LOT of work for themselves by checking the points first. (aka. Why go through the entire process, includng sending the applicant to doc apts, etc., if they never qualified to begin with, based on their points, that can be calculated in mear seconds by pulling up your SS page in their database. It's absolutely ridiculous.) Anyway, thanks again for replying, and for your channel. It's very helpful. Take care. 🩷

I'm truly sorry to hear about the frustration and distress you're experiencing. It's clear that you're going through a tough time, and I understand how challenging the process of applying for disability benefits can be. While I can't provide legal advice or recommend a specific law firm, I can tell you that many people find it helpful to work with a disability advocate or attorney when applying for Social Security Disability benefits. They can guide you through the process, help gather necessary medical evidence, and represent you in any hearings or appeals.
