OTP: SS Disability Update
DeeTee and Bob Taggart
has advised us your case has been received and is awaiting action by the
administrative law judge. (some verbiage cut) The judge will review your
case along with evidence we submit to determine if a hearing is required to
render a decision. (some verbiage cut) The hearing level generally takes
an estimated 8 to 18 months, but in some instances it takes 24 months or
longer to schedule a hearing." So the SS has acknowledged they've gotten
the case and the clock is now officially ticking. I just have to wait.
On another note, I sold my car today to Carmax. I didn't really want to, but
I'd rather have the money in the bank than sitting unused in the garage.
It'll also cut our costs for insurance, maintenance and gas. Now to sit here
and twiddle my thumbs until the SS gets me in for a hearing on my
disability.

Yes,,,,,,, but now you get back pay if you get a good decision. Watch your
taxes with that money.

you! Will hope for at the least the 8 month wait.
I can understand the car thing. If you aren't using it right now....had to
make that decision before.
Take care - thinking of you and hurrying along that decision in my mind!

If SSDI is her only income, there will be no taxes.
Even if she gets a whirlwind lump sum back payment.

Thanks Chief,,,, filing jointly? I think DeeTee's husband works. Ahh well,
she is on the back pay clock anyway.

drag it out long enough. Hopefully, your attorney knows the games to play to
get the hearing set up sooner rather than later.
I hear ya on the car. We decided last month to stop repairing our 89 Corolla
and we're waiting a while before buying something in its stead. It just
saved us the insurance & tag renewal. Timing was ok, we only had one month
left on each. Life with one car was much easier in the city!

Since she is married its based on their income, not just her income. But
there are special rules to prevent the taxes from being more than if you had
received it over the years it would have been paid, if you had been paid
from the time you were disabled.

Saying a prayer that they move their butts, DeeTee. Sorry to hear you
had to let your car go, but if you can't drive, I guess it's better to
have the money :)

news! Most folks get turned down the first time. If the judge sees a
goodly amount of medical evidence and you don't go dancing into the hearing
room you have a very good chance of winning. Take heart- it may drag out for
a while yet, but this really is encouraging news.
Best of luck to you!

And don't wear high heels, LOL :) I was on jury duty once and the woman
was suing saying she had severe back problems. She came into the
courtroom wearing these high heels. The lawyer for the other side
thought he had lost his case as the woman was on the stand in tears
talking about her pain. She did put on a good show. However, every woman
on the jury knew that if she had severe back pain she wouldn't be
wearing those shoes. When the lawyer heard our verdict, he couldn't
believe he had won! He asked us why and when we told him, he said he
never even thought about the shoes she was wearing. I looked at him and
said "You are not a woman" :-))) I think he learned something that day.

later applied again. I got turned down, appealed it, got turned down,
appealed it and now it's in the hearing stage.

I do hope you get it this time, DeeTee. I'll keep saying prayers for
you. I'm glad I didn't have to apply because of my arthritis. It seems
so hard for everyone. With CHF, they can't deny it as the test results
are what they are, and since I met the criteria, they had to approve it.
BIG HUGS,

encouraging that you weren't turned down this time and made it this far???
The hearings tend to go in favor of the applicant.

I've been turned down 3 times. The first time I let it go then two years
later applied again. I got turned down, appealed it, got turned down,
appealed it and now it's in the hearing stage.
DeeTee
y'know, what i can't figure out is why ssdi didn't give you temporary
benefits (6 months worth of benefits, at the end of which they would review
your case) when you were going through all that chemo and stuff.
it's a good sign that you got to the hearing stage, sweetie. as i
understand it, it is extreemly rare that they turn benefits down at that
point.
along with the big retroactive check, you'll probably either get medicare
right away or it'll be just a short wait, instead of having to wait two more
years.
hanging in there with you, sweetie.

last day of work, I am totally amazed that you have been denied at all.
It boggles the mind when you hear of people with multiple health
problems that keep them from gainful employment, being turned down.
It's supposed to be contingent on the doctor's records and that you will
be unable to work for at least 12 months. Well, golly, did they think
you were going to have surgery and chemo and rush right out the door to
look for a job? I will keep my fingers crossed for you that the hearing
comes up soon because I knolw the judge will grant you the disability.

keeping DeeTee in my prayers for a quick and favorable resolution. (Their
decisions often seem very unfair.)
