Sherrie’s disability approval success story

I have listened and applied your web page info.  I gathered all my information myself.  I filed my paperwork on 9/21/08.  I reported to the Social Security office and handed them all my doctors info.  I did exactly what you said to do.  Give them all my info in the beginning, any additional info I faxed to them and followed up with a phone call that they got my the info I sent, I called to make sure that all their inquiries were fulfilled by any requests they sent themselves.

On November 8th I called, and my coordinator laughed.  I said to her, that sounds like you might have just been looking at me.  She said yes, that she and her supervisor had just reviewed my file and closed the case.  I said, “Is that a good thing?”  She said of course she couldn’t say anything but that I would receive info in 2 or 3 weeks.

On November 10th, 50 days after I filed, I have been approved for SSDI.  I can’t believe it went that fast.  Well I can because I knew I met one of the disability categories and I knew my doctors were supporting my claim.

I received a letter about setting up my own online password (should not have gotten that one yet), but I haven’t received an official letter of the amount I will receive monthly and any back payments I might get.  I filed in September but I claimed I was unable to work as of June.  Hope I will get dated by to June also.

My tips to for getting approved for Disability FAST are!

> I can’t stress to have ALL your info in your hands before starting the paperwork.

> Do the forms beforehand that you give them access to and you are prepared for the types of questions they ask.

> Research your disability and medication and its side affects.

> It is like you said, speak the SSDI language and they will understand.

Also, I did what you said, stopped working entirely.

I just can’t thank you enough for your help.  You know what your doing and YOU do it well.

PS: Other key Ingredients are that I had a solid work history all my life allowing me to build a case that I wanted to work rather work that collect disability and that I’m 60 years old,
