Getting disability must be harder in other states. I have SLE, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Sjogrens, with kidney disease and other complications. When I applied I did it myself, no lawyer, and I went to each doctor before to ask them to document specifically why I should receive disability. This included my regular doctor who is an internist, my pain doctor who provides my pain meds and procedures, my rheumatologist, and my kidney doctor. Each of them was very willing to document why I needed to stop working and receive social security. I filled out the paperwork expecting to be denied the first time, but, no, I got it the first try. They sent a letter the first of the year saying they were going through records again to see if I still qualified, but I haven’t heard anything else, and it’s been five months.

In the United States, the government offers benefits programs to the disabled called Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). These programs, while similar in name, are substantially different in both their requirements and the type of aid they offer.

I have SLE and I’m only getting worse with organ failure issues and my latest issue was I went into respiratory failure 4 days after having over half my stomach removed. I also have a regurgitating mitral valve that’s only getting worse. I’ve been denied disability 2 times now and I’m hopeful the 3rd time is a charm. Eric Yocum is a very good disability attorney for someone who was asking for a good attorney.
