Gee, when I was injured I didn't get to appeal my injuries! I didn't get to appeal all of the surgeries! I didn't to appeal my termination! So, why does the company get to appeal their responsibility?

do this and they also do that if a spouse is still working
and they make over what SS. thinks is allowed, they will
take it out of your SS payment until it is payed back also.
Witch means the spouse can't afford to work period.. :(

Back in 1986 we had a child born with a majority of his small intestines dead and had to have over 1/2 them removed and he ended up with a condition called Short Gut Syndrome. By the time he was 1 year old, he had ended up having 8 surgeries. He was confined to NICU for his first 4 months of his life, he came home connected to his TPN machine. He was on TPN (Total parenteral nutrition)for the first 10 months of his life. The doctors at the time told us he may never get off TPN and be able to eat foods. Only time would tell. So they had us sign him up for SSD..and he was denied...because he was gaining weight. They said stop the TPN and he would get it. He would have died had we done that, as he was eating predigested formula mixed at 1/4 strength. Then it was only 1 oz every 3 hours. Everyone knows a 6 month old eats more than that in a day. We were young and just gave up.

Bless you
Yup!!! One day at a time!!! My husband was only retired a year or two when he discovered the lung cancer. We had planned to do some traveling after I stopped working. But that all changed in a big hurry. After lung surgery he couldn't hike or take long walks because of shortness of breath etc. Then it attacked his esophagus, so he couldn't swallow, no dinners out. You just have to go along as best you can, and make lemonade out of those lemons dropped at your door.
