Digest Number 1134
Hi All, speaking of Social Security Disability, my hubby has a very very bad back problems, finally he got carried home one day from work, and that was it..He decided he can't go there anymore. After much urging from our Dr. , we (me) applied for Social Security, got the forms, gather many years of documentation from surgeries, dr, therapy. etc. etc... We applied, got turned down, we fixed what they asked, reapplied, got turned down, 2 more surgeries then, reapplied, contacted a lawyer from his work, part of his benefits, low cost......met him, he took the case, talked to us very little, went to court,got A PRIVATE CONVERSATION with JUDGE, explained that WE had did all the paper work, the lawyer didn't do much, but charged a lot for gas and copies, which he already had, from me.....Judge gave his Disability, back payment for 3 years, monthly check, and disallowed our lawyer for overcharging us, stating cost would be 2000.00 instead of 6700.00. So it worked, the lawyer was peaved, to say the least, but the Judge just overruled him for now and the future of his business................... Point is, get your own papers, copies of everything, do your own homework. Hope this helps. Donna
