——- Here Is Brenda’s Success Story ————–
Dear Mr. Therrien,
I ordered Jonathan Ginsberg’s “Disability Answer Guide” from your website, including the bound workbook copy, since I wanted the written pages/examples to study carefully for myself. I read it several times before even beginning my disability paperwork. (I would never even consider doing a phone interview because I wanted to carefully think through each answer before putting it on paper.)
Using Mr. Ginsberg’s excellent advice, I can tell you that I am completely shocked and totally happy that two months since my interview at the SSA office, I received my approval letter in the mail! I took Mr. Ginsberg’s advice: lined up a list of all my doctors, phoned their offices that they would be receiving a request from SSA for records, and made sure that they were going to be cooperative with my efforts.
I have a number of different illnesses, several in different categories which met the disability guidelines, so I asked my doctors to be very specific in their reports to emphasize that. I did not stick to one area only though, I included all of my different illnesses, since they combine to really create a total package to show that I am truly unable to work.
I left a job that I loved and had been at for over 10 years, and I was so distraught when I left. When SSA called my employer, he was even truthful and said that he felt I had deteriorated in my abilities to do the job adequately. In other words, I had my ducks in a row, and I owe much of it to Mr. Ginsberg’s excellent advice and also my diligence in doing everything that needed to be done. I filled out the paperwork, let it sit overnight, reread it to make sure I had not left anything out before sending it. I was prompt in all correspondence, and believe me, I had plenty of documentation to back up everything I said.
This was my first time applying for disability because I held out working for as long as I could possibly do it, since I loved my job so much. I am sad that I can no longer work, but I know it was the right decision, and with your help and Mr. Ginsberg’s book, which was well worth the $125 (I highly recommend the bound book to go along with the CD), I am amazed that my application literally flew through the system in two months time.
Thank you so much for your good advice. I did not use an attorney, since it was an initial application, and my doctors were very supportive. Also, even though I had several mental disorder claims involved, I was not sent for a mental status exam, most likely because my doctor is one of the listed qualified examiners that SSA uses. Whatever, the reason, I am very satisfied, and am thankful for the advice that I got from the Disability Digest and Mr. Ginsberg’s book “The Disability Answer Guide.”
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sincerely,
Brenda Puckette

Ps Let me add one last word of advice to others…and I can’t stress it enough…be brutally honest about how you are really doing, and be VERY SPECIFIC in describing the nature of your pain or symptoms.
Mr. Ginsberg’s book was extremely helpful in this regard, and I don’t think I would have understood what SSA was actually looking for without his advice in this area.
In other words, SSA does not really care how sick you are, they are only interested in your ability to do some kind of gainful employment. Never lose sight of that criteria. That’s the best advice I could give anyone.
