"Success Stories From Real 
People Just Like You!" 

Hi Brian,
Just wanted to let you know that I received "The" envelope from Social Security today. It took me three hours to get up the courage to open it. I was a very happy person when I did. 

My disability has been approved on the first try!!!!!! I am absolutely 100% sure that the only reason I was approved on the first try was because of you and the disability digest. 

The information and contacts you supplied me with helped me gather all of the necessary reports and medical records I would need prove my case. 

The Disability Digest played a major roll in my getting approved so quickly and I really do appreciate you keeping me in the loop and recording the calls for me. 

Thanks again for all your help,

Darla Scott

Brian,

Before I found the news letter I had no idea how
to go about finding information on obtaining disability. 

You gave me different websites to look at and also other sources like when or when not to obtain a lawyer.

This has been helpful,

Brian,

Your emails have been quite helpful. Actually, you were my last hope and it now seems like there is light at the end of the tunnel. 

Thank you!

Dear Brian Therrien,

I just received those magic words today. She said she was from Social Security and she ask me to verify a couple of things on my application. Then she said she was calling me to tell me that my Claim was approved.

I have been reading some of your e-mails and listening to the recorded calls and learned the main thing is give them everything you can, be straight about why you can no longer function, and then back it up with dates, Dr's, medical records, tests, days missed work, how many times and etc. SS. loves lots of paperwork, especially if it help them to see your problems and why you can no longer work.
 
Brian Thanks if you did not have that message in there I may still be waiting. Brian tell your people give Social Security more then what's needed and be sure to keep copies, I had to answer some of their question three times! 

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Brian,

I learned the most from your lesson about getting the Dr. to think in terms of completing his report in a way that explains ones inability to work, as opposed to explaining ones medical condition. 

There is little you can do improve your service. 

Thanks Brian.

Brian,

I wish I'd had this info when I first applied...it would have saved me a lot of trouble as I ended up retaining an attorney and actually going before a Disability Judge before I was approved. Took about 6 years, too!!

What has been most helpful and informative for me is the info you supplied on housing and the links to others such as the Centers for Independent Living. 

You provide a tremendous service to us all.

Brian,

I am a Psychosociologist and I assist patients in filing for SSDI benefits. The info is very helpful. Several patients have recently been approved in 2 months.

Brian,

Learning the ins and outs of both the SSDI and LTD application and claims processes through your website have helped me prepare myself factually and psychologically for the road ahead. Using the advice of your guest speakers, I have worked with my doctor, my accountant, and a number of advocacy groups to assist me with my transition from work to
rehabilitation and back to work again.

From start to finish....I was waiting for my denial letter before contacting you - but, much to my amazement, my claim has been approved - much is due to the information you provided. 

You provided a roadmap of what questions to expect and how to respond. Your information was concise, accurate and FREE - no hidden fees and the program gives a sense of empowerment! 

I THANK YOU!

Brian,

I have spent most of my life in health care and I still found the information helpful in getting my benefits. 

I proved in the second round that I was permanently disabled at 45 years old.

Brian,

I really liked the way you outlined the process and what is needed before tackling what is a difficult thing. You have helped me greatly by giving me more information about applying and what to expect. Keep on helping other confused and disgruntled individuals.

Thank You.

Brian,

A lot of your emails and conference calls have been very helpful, not just to me but I consistently help others as well. Especially on the information of how to apply correctly for Social Security Disability
and not to give up continue to appeal with Social Security.

Brian,

I stumbled upon your website by accident and started researching what I needed to start the disability process.  I found it easy to understand.

I was contacted within 24 hours and Susan was attentive to my needs and easy to talk to.  She reaffirmed my need for filing and gave me honest answers to my questions. She also offered information for disability lawyers should I choose to go in that direction.
