It has been a nightmare. We still can't beleive it. We couldn't beleive it when the Dr took him off work. That disability company UNUM sucks, I hate them. Why do we have to beg, cry and call over & over. Do they really think a man would do that. what would men do without their wives?

It is sad that those who truly injured and can't work have to wait so long. It is because so many people have abused the system of S.S. that it now hurts the good and honest person. Sure makes a person stop and think to always put something into savings for the rough times.

I am so glad I asked my accountant to wade through my paperwork recently when my employer terminated my position after being on LTD for 5 years. It was a nightmare, and if I had to go it alone, I think I'd have had a stroke! Why do they have to make it so difficult?
Glad it worked out for your hubby, finally.

Glad to see it finally worked out.

My husband went through the same problems. When the lawsuit was settled (Arizona), social security then took away part of his benefits each month until the money he received from Arizona lawsuit was paid back to social security. This happened in 1981. Not knowing what the current laws are, back then Reagan passed a law that any lawsuit compensation arriving from injury must be deducted from any social security payments. To me, it was wrong! Hope this does not happen to you. Nobody, even the lawyers, told us until we got the letter from social security about 3 months later.

I am so happy for you!

I am so glad your was settled for you it is a stress relief. Mine was a miracle to have been done in 60days. I had to go through some pretty intensive testing to prove my disease in the end it was worth it.

Congratulations! It's a rough thing to have to go through before you get approved! Just did it myself in 2009! I hope things start getting better for you soon!!

I'm so happy for you.....now you can relax....that was a lot of stress.

Praise God! So happy for you!
