I was looking through threads written about this previously, but many were unanswered or just not enough for me. I have never been through anything like this before and I'm very scared, anxious, nervous, you name it! My appointment is for a week from tomorrow. Social Security said they set up two back to back Dr. appts for me. Why two? How will a doctor that never met me be able to see the extent of my disability in 30-60 minutes?! If I am friendly does that mean I'm not depressed? I'm freaking about all this because this is my only hope. I can't get it together to work. My psychologist has had me out since January and I have NO income. He thinks I have a long way to go to be "stable enough" for work. This is just adding on top of everything else. I'm obsessively thinking about this and am so nervous I could scream
 Any advice, calming words, "get yourself together" talks, or tips would be appreciated. Sorry for the mental breakdown

One is to go over your physical/medical records and one is a psychological exam. They may cancel the second one if they get all the info they need from the first one.

Thanks for responding. Hopefully it goes well. I read that 70% of people's claims get denied!

As I live in another country I cannot add any info regarding the technical aspects of claiming.
I found it helpful when I went to be assessed for my capacity for working (which was nil) I took my caseworker with me for support and to back up facts from some-one else. Good Luck. |

Good news, apparently the denial rate in New York is only 57% :-) Here's a New York disability lawyer's guide:

That actually did make me feel a little better. My tummy is doing its famous anxiety burny knoty feeling...can't wait for it to be done.

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