That is great news!! I had to fight them for 4 years and apply 3 times to finally get approved for disability. All because I am "too young". grrr!! So glad things are looking up for you and your family.

Glad DH's finally came thru...I retired at 40 from a strep germ that destroyed the veins in my legs...I was off only 10 months when I was accepted ...I can't imagine the horrors of waiting 4 yrs...Thank God he has been accepted finally.

Congradulations.

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.

I understand. They all want us to "give up". Don't you think? It sucks having to beg for insurance coverage. Is your son OK now??
