Hello all
As some will know I have ongoing issues with my cervical spine. After my last operation in March to fuse my C4-5 the fusion still hasn't taken place and my pain continues. I applied for SSD at the end of September and just received the phone call that it was approved
. This saves me from paying an attorney so I am really happy about that.
One less headache for the holidays
Take care and Be Well
Hi TPM>>>>nice to see you. I am so sorry that you are still in pain. I am happy though that SSD was in your favor. I didn't pay an attorney either and was glad I didn't. Bes tof luck to you. Visit us more often if you can.
Good to hear from you Tpm. Thanks for the update, and hope your Christmas/New Year will be a good one for you.
TPM, good news on the SSDI, glad to hear from you.
Thanks guys
I was somewhat nervous to answer the phone when she called. Especially after everyone I've spoken to said it will be automatically turned down without an attorney the first time around.
Christmas will certainly be a little better now that I don't have to worry about SSDI
Thanks again
tpm great news for you...maybe a bit of back pay for the holidays.....make sure any settlement has the right wording thru WC for SSDI so you dont get screwed......enjoy your holidays and come around a bit more you hear!
Thanks Jayne and I will. You will have to tell me just what wording I should be looking for
Be Well
TPM I was turned down the first time.. and have now appealed. I am waiting to hear from the appeal. I have an attorney and right now i can not seem to see that an attorney is any help

I wish you luck Cervical Fusion and hopefully he can help. I remember spending a good 3 days filling out online forms. I then expected to be called in for a interview but that never happened
. I was told they may call me once every 3 to 7 years to update my condition to determine if I should still be collecting SSDI. Seems fair enough
Please keep us posted and I hope the appeal goes in your favor
Be Well
congrats tpm! i'm happy for you
