I want to know if anyone here has multiple disabilities and did you get disability? I have been diagnosed with bi-polar, fibromyalgia, and now since my MRI the other day I have four herniated discs in my neck and three in my lower back. The neck is worse. I'm at my wits end. I can barely work when I feel O.K. but now I'm out of commission. I have to go back to community health and fill out paperwork for state help because project access will take up to six months to get me into a neurosurgeon. The appointment with my provider is at the end of the month and if I qualify he can sent me to a neuro guy. I'm seriously considering applying for disability and I just need to know what I'm up against. HELP!

Hire an attorney ON CONTINGENCY and have him file for disability for you. On contingency means that you don't have to pay him -- he gets his fee from your award -- and he can't get any more than 25%. At least that's what it was when I got my disability.
He will get all your medical records that he needs and along with the paperwork, he'll send it in to disability. Almost everyone gets approved when they've hired an attorney. HOWEVER -- many people are denied on the first try -- so you might be denied, but you might get it thru cause you hired an attorney. I really don't know. Having an attorney certainly puts your odds higher. Best of luck and let us know how you make out! God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
