I found out 10 years after I appealed that ss "lost" x-ray of my back vertebrae touching, and 5 pages of ekg stress test for abnormal heartbeat. Errors on applications, lost documents, Nothing but excuses and lies from ss.

I Broke my spine in 3 places and it took 15 years to get SSI of 859 a month.When i started having to use a cafiter and being locked up in a mental ward from urine toxicity.They decided to give it to me at 61.Im happy to get it and want to thank all the workers for helping me.Yippi Yahoo

This channel is doing Gods work. Blessings to You, TDD chanell crew.

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.

Thank you so very much. I’ve been on SSDI for several years.

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???

Thank you. Never heard about a lot of the information you presented 👍

Ssi is income based as in if you are married and have other income. SSDI is for work credits. The max used to be 3400 a month. It may have gone up with COLA

It seems that most of the people on this channel want to get something for nothing and that is really annoying to people who have worked their entire lives and then been disabled. Permanently and completely disabled and I don't make as much as the current minimum amounts for people who have never worked! It does tend to make me very angry with the way our system works.

Always great videos Brian!

I just started the appeal process . I've been on SSI for 16 yrs and NEVER had a review. Finally had a review last month and they terminated my benefits. I've got PTSD and have seen my therapist religiously every 3 months. I take the meds he prescribes me too. I'm so stressed out and confused. My Dr disagrees with the decision to terminate benefits. How do I move forward

I know people (a lot of them!) getting SS because they are obese! Also personally knew someone who NEVER worked a job...got SSI. but was well enough to be a volunteer firefighter? I retired with a pension from my job, however, it irks me that people that never worked, or could work collecting SSI.

SSA rejected my first application for SSDI but fortunately for me, I receive workers comp payments of 1870 biweekly because I was hurt at work. My lawyer feels I should get it on appeal but they sent me more paperwork to fill out. The 3740 I already get plus a possible 3600 from SSDI would be nice this year. I'm getting started on that paperwork AGAIN

Thank you for the info

Thank you for the info. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

can you tell me when i get my first check i just was approved 2 weeks ago?

It’s routine and mandatory that you see they’re doctors also before you can be approved they put you through a lot but once they check everything out it’s full speed ahead long as your paperwork clears SSDI is real strict you also have to do a questionnaire it a lot but like I said if everything clears shouldn’t but with this congress we have today ain’t no telling what they’re up too!

All the time I spent on the Social Security disability I never came across shopping credits

Great info. Thank you.

We are are living on $914 why the Ukraine people that who can over here is getting $3500 a month n free housing and new car

Thank you.

The IRS hammers me with taxes every year. What a joke!

what do the attorneys charge to help get your benefits? Also with this link and questionnaire will someone call from a call center and try to solicit ? IF so what are the typical fees and is there a term tied to your benefits? or flat rate? how much is it?

If your SSDI amount is say $2k and your early retirement about is $1,600 a month, does your SSDI change once you reach retirement age say down to $1,600?

Im 30 yrs old and on SSDi an looking find a one bedroom apartment but I don’t make three times the rent

I'm a 100 percenter from Vietnam service and get only $950 from SS

thank u for the tip

I need to know how to get my check released on time and have my back money paid to me from 2016 up til I won my case February 2021.. They won’t release this money it’s been 7 months .. I call and told it’s pending .. But they paid my attorney fees , I don’t understand.. The offices are closed and at times they will put you on hold and then disconnect the call ..

Recipients--- remember about how much $ your ssd rep will be receiving...after your approval

I am 54 in ky divorce and I have worked u got my in 2015 they first started giving me 1700 they took away some of my money don't know why but now I am only 934 a month and I have worked I was even a heavy equipment operator for 5 years and there saying that all I am qualified for which I should be getting more I am making just about the same as a none working I keep calling as and they all tell me something different I can't make it they told me I couldn't get a check on my kids there were under age I feel I am getting screwed around any advice you can give me?

A lot of us is living on 885 a month and less

I fought my case for around 4 years and denied 3 times . I got ssi but before I got my first check . I got approved for my SSDI which I applied for . But I got back pay for 3 months of ssi that's all since I didn't apply for that. But as soon as I got approved for ssi I got approved for my SSDI and I lost all my back pay for SSDI is that right cause I had a lawyer and everyone that I talked to that had the same lawyer the same thing happened to them . We all got 3 months of back pay for ssi and didn't get our back pay for SSDI is this normal or is this wrong

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.

I logged into ssi 3 years ago and the estimate of my ssi retirement was a little over $1800 month. But in 2023 my full retirement amt was only $1490. Something stinks.

What do you mean 5 years times up? 5 years not working? I need to quit working, it's killing me, and/or go to 2 days a week

841.00

I left my job in Nov. 2019 due to diabetes damaging the retina in my good eye. My other eye was legally blind since I was a kid. I filed for disability in August of 2020. 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.

My father in law was in the middle of getting his disability approved and was suppose to get 15mos worth of back pay but now he has passed away, do his children or the people in control of his estate still able to get that money?

Would it be beneficial to have both Medicare and Medicaid for covered services? Doing a spend down for Medicaid for medical.

Hi ive been on ssdi over 20 years and im on social security now. Why isn't there a big increase when you get 67 to social security.

If you are medically disabled and not been able to hold a job because illness started during young youth years what will it take to get SSI? My son is very ill.

my x& i had family biz, he left w the $$$, almost a mil, i got injured on the job, he never paid the taxes i signed or the workers comp checks i made out, well it appeared i didnt work. and he refi'd the house took the cash & never told me he refi'd. im glad for how quickly my ss atty got things done when i reapplied & fought the denial. i am fortunate a relative had a hard to rent home and i moved in after redoing the floors. it was previously used as a Rottweiler breeding home.

I'm on ssdi I been since 1982 now I'm 61 on social security retirement that I didn't no that put ne on. So what do u need to so

Thank you for information yes I’ve been in disability for couple months now my question is I just got a probe but I didn’t hub backpay I was waiting for four years to get a probe the deal is my attorney said that they will take the case but they will get the F doing the case now that I’m a prove they told me that they didn’t get pay how is that possible

ssdi?

I stopped working jan 2020. 40 credits approve dec1st im not getting 1300 38 yrs work history

I am 36 I was getting SSI and under my parents record but in 2023 payment went up they said I can't get SSI no more too much money. I can only keep income under my parents record.

No I still receive $900.& change and in December 2nd I turned 65 years, so no thank you for listening

If u on ssi and your spouse received edd then government only lets your family income $2000 a month. They want u poor if u on ssi. Any way my wife received edd now I owe $13000. Edd helps everyone that doesn’t receive ssi. Because I receive ssi now they want me to pay back $13000. Lol wtf because it was not earned income. I was only get $500 a month at the time. That’s some bs

Im in the reconsideration phase. My initial claim took me 12 months to get a decision. Will my reconsideration application be the same as my initial. I hope it dont take that long

There has got to be a way to investigate them this situation and I'm not able to physically work doing much at all that's days behind me now due to work related partial disabilities. Worse than carpel tunnel would be gaurenteed or I'd still be on the track with My beautiful beloved athletes God's beautiful ❤️ precious horses. Lol sincerely Pamela

Hello There...need your help.... I'm 63 coming this October, and last Year on Sept. was accepted on SSDI...Had a Quadruple ByPass Heart Surgery , Double Hip Replacement , have Coronary Disease , Hypertension etc. There giving me $699 a month which I cannot do squat with that so I've been eating my life time savings, I was told I cannot work more then 30 hrs a week is that true or not, and if I could work what is my limit on hrs that I could work, things are getting really hard for me, please shed some light on what I could do or get more money to survive with this SSDI. Thank you

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.

OK to cut to the chase. They are saying that I have $300 of unearned income ,coming from???????

I have a question I’m seeing a muscoskeltal doctor for SSD I have scoliosis and neurofibromatosis i was born with it I did work for 6 years though I had to quit do to bad pain , all this time I did not know about the scoliosis severe right convex curve and then out of nowhere but not all the time pain shoots down the back of my legs just don’t know the degree of the curve it just hurts all the time , sorry not good at explaining stuff

Hmmm.... havent worked since 2012. Screwed!

I am 58, married, got approved for disability, I got an a one time payment of $1,200.00 and three payments of $103.00the Social Security said I will be getting my regular disability at 62, what is up with this. I have no income of my own now. My husband has his SSI, SSI disability and pension, I now have to wait. I just don't get it?| I even had to get a bank account in my name, which only has around 6.00 in it now.

What do I get SSI and I’m 61 years old?? I’m ready

I have question , im wearing hearing-aids over a year now and wondering if im qualify for SS disability after many years of hear problems?

I do not receive the average amount you stated

Too high you don't get those numbers!

I was told my Ssdi would only be 500

My lawyer told me social security keeps 5 months of my back pay is this true? Doesn't seem legal

I hear there's no 4 stimulus checks

If I'm retired on a company pension, but I have a disabilty that prevents me from finding any other employment can I apply for SSDI and if approved collect until my full retirement age of 67?

How do you check your credit to see if you can get SSI

Do they have the option to work while on ssi in the state of Oregon?

Do you claim your SS disability check as income when doing your taxes or should you have taxes taken out of your monthly check?

So when I’m going on disability I have to keep learning about all this or can I just hire a lawyer

I am on my reconsedration now for ssdi If I got approved do I get back pay since I applied ? Or since my reconsedration since in my inital they denyed me for non severe means they did not conseder I was disable when I applied

I draw SSI and have free Medicaid my SSI check is 609.00 $ a month I’ll pay taxes all my life and 52 years old. I have talking percent of my heart working and I am told I don’t have enough work credits and I know I do someone please help me with advice on what to do because I have no clue.

Every disability should sign up to vote it's time for us to have a voice go and sign up to vote it's easy to do it's I didn't vote late time because I didn't like now of them this time I will vote

Hello, my onset date is Dec. 31, 2016. I applied for ssdi on Jan. 14, 2021. I am in the appeals process, when would my back pay start? Like would it start Jan. 1, 2020??

If I get ssdi, do I have to get Medicare or can I keep Medicade?

Credits you need are based on your age. You dont need 40 credits

Hello my friend I just got injured back in Christmas and I apply for it how long will I get a letter back from my disability form ?

How hard is it to get approved if I had a stroke

do you know what the low scores mean mine 118 after last cdr review short form

I get SSI how do I stretch it out to get more money

I understand that there are legitimate people needing SSI, but I personally know five, six people getting SSI, and why I have NO CLUE!!!!! There is too much fraud...too many Drs that roll over. I worked after three failed back surgeries, but saw people that NEVER even had a surgery get benefits.

If I have 10 years wok only and 40 credits but my history work just part time how much I will get each month

So I just want you to know that you have this completely wrong or maybe it’s different from Faith correct me if I’m wrong please

I'm on SSDI and now spousel support I've can't get no info on my income I got my disability without an attorney, and now I can't find no legal help,. Seems like even ss office won't help 🎉

0:01 I think you have #4 spelled incorrectly.

What if a person has a strong work history but accidentally applied for SSI benefits? What happens then?

Why doesn't somebody explain that we pay in 4050 years to play this disability lottery game it's not ready to qualify or if you're able or if you even win disability it's a goddamn lottery our entire lives to play this goddamn stupid ass lottery game that you left hand doesn't know what the right hand is nobody knows what the hell's going on cuz it's a goddamn lottery I want a law firm that I can talk to you about suing the disability social security and I want pain and suffering for the goddamn too goddamn years I've lived here and I've been able to f****** do a damn thing because of the pain and I can't get up out of bed who's going to pay me that

Thank god I worked enough and made enough to get 2700 a month

Why can't I draw off my dad social security we'll he's alive instead waiting until he dies I drawed off my deceased mother's social security before she died now I just get her check I used to get two check. But social security told me I have to wait until my dad dies in that's why I ain't drawing my maxing benefits from social security for being a disability child in I want to know why.

I don't know you get $430 a month for disability. I should be getting a 1000 some I've been getting robbed all these years. I think it's wrong and it's so scared to use the same way. They cut mine and hair so what can I? Do? You say people's getting a thousand some dollars well that's a lie

So I have alot of questions? I have ssd. I have dystonia. I’ve been going to physical therapy for the many things. At the moment I’m going for balance. I stumbled a lot. I try to do things in a day , I can not last that long. I was helping my daughter washing her walls n I didn’t last long . And I’m sore for days later. The Nero doctor said I dnt need to see him anymore. Just to keep going to PT . Ik for a fact that I can not work a reg job . I took up a hobby when I can do it . Some ppl want to buy some things I make . I’m afraid to be in trouble if I sell them . I can not afford that .

I have 20 credits, how much will I get ?

How do you guys get above $914

Can you ever work again if you get better?

I'm 56 got disability at 55. I get 841 dollars a month. That's it.
