I completly understand where you are coming from. My husband became disabled at the age of 23 due to a car accident. We have been fighting with disablity for 3 years. All his medical records show that he has had a 3 level fusion, aherinated discs that cannot be fixed, all the same symtoms that you have plus some. We finally got a court date and he had been approved. Now, we wait 2 weeks to 90 days for a check. It is ridiculous that they make you wait, deny you two times, and then about 6 months after that, you finally get a court date for 6 months later.Then make you wait even longer for a check. We were told once the decision of the court comes in, took about 2 months for the letter, the check (back pay) will take between 2 weeks to 90 days. What a time frame.

i think the whole system is screwed up it takes up to 2 years if your denied at the first level. mean time your kids go without. but wait the state says you must take care of your kids if you cant work anymore. what a joke this country is coming to. i have degenerated disc diasease and stenosis of the spine severe with 2 bulging disk with a torn nerve in the lumbar region and take 3 shots of insulin 90 units a day with 3 diffrent types of pain killers. i have tingling down the right side of my leg and numbness in my legs. i was told i need a fusion but i dont have 60 thousand dollars and the surgen just keeps putting me off. all this is documented on medical records also. so i applied for disability ssdi 6 monthes later im still waiting for an answer from them. yes i have lawyer. i know ill get denied because every body does if you dont have cancer and your not dieing you will probally get denied. but why should thease people care your the one who has to feed your kids and put clothes on their back side with no income. i call them hitlers s.s working for the state. i bet their relatives they know get disabled are approved right away threw the so called system. yes i have worked for 28 years and im 44 i drove tractor trailer until it got so bad i coulnt work. well wish me luck and god bless the troops who fight every day so we can stay free in this country and fight for the things we believe in and what we should get as a people in this country.
