My husband filed for disability a few years ago & was denied....instead of appealing, he was glad that they told him he wasn't disabled because he didn't want to admit that he really was.

We finally got him to understand that he really was disabled & he filed for disability again. They have been going over his paperwork & had him go in for the psych review....which was a complete joke. All the person did was tell him 3 words, talk to him a few minutes, ask him to spell "world" backwards, then ask him to remember the 3 words he had told him at the beginning.....that lasted at most 10 minutes & didn't even talk to him about what was really going on with him. My husband was frustrated, thinking that was going to be the determining factors in whether he qualifies or not.

Then today, he got a letter telling him to come in & discuss whether he is going to get SSI (supplimental security income). SSI isn't what he applied for at all & there is no way that he even comes close to qualifing for SSI since we own our house & even if he were to sell the house, all you can have to qualify for SSI is $3000 (if married) $2000 if single.

He applied for SSDI which is what he should be getting. I think they are trying to get out of paying him the large amount of disability that he deserves considering disability is based on the salary you last had when you were working....& he was working as an engineer consultant that last year he was working. Either that, or the letter was a mistake. I told him to take care of it before the meeting time so that they don't waist his time or theirs for something that is incorrect.

Will be interesting to see what they have to say about what they are trying to pull on him.
