Social Security Disability Fight
How many Americans in here filed for disability and were approved? Any in Texas specifically? I filed immediately after having to quit in December 2012, and a few days ago I received a letter from the Appeals Council, giving me my 4th denial in almost 4 years. The amount of health diseases I have filed with is tremendous, I had what I thought was a great attorney, I had 4 of my doctors backing me with letters stating I am 100% totally & permanently disabled, and the state's vocational counselor that testified at my trial told the judge TWICE there was absolutely no job I could do now. Unfortunately, Texas is a very tough state regarding awarding disability, and my judge was the worst one out of the 10 judges in my district who only grants 28% of his cases.
I now had to get a new attorney, as my case appeal is going to the fifth & final appeal at the federal level & I have to get a lawyer that can handle federal cases. I have seen soooooo many mistakes my ex-attorney made & that the Social Security Administration made in my paperwork. I have no idea why so many other people can lie & work the system & get approved right away. I know people who are getting disability & are working full-time jobs under the table. I know peole who use their "disability" money to buy illegal drugs every month. This whole system is jacked up!
I worked 25 years full-time from the age of 15 & cannot BELIEVE that I now can't get help when I so desperately need it! How many of you got disability because of Wegeners? How long did it take? Were you approved right off or had many appeals? I will be appealing for the 5th & final time, and then I will file a new case (this is allowed now) if I'm not approved on my appeal. I'd appreciate any prayers!
