In reply to And, will this negatively impact my disability., posted by brynb on January 22, 2013, at 14:43:32
bryn, I filled out my own disability application online. I made sure to be very detail-oriented and complete. Amazingly enough, I was approved.
It seems like the whole disability system is set up for the benefit of lawyers. Not that many that apply get approved, so they turn to lawyers, who make sure they get approved, because they get a 1/3 of the cut...your pay is dated from the date you first file. Going to a lawyer first makes your chances of being approved first time around much greater, but then you'll have to pay a hefty fee. It's a sucky system. But one way or the other, I'm sure you'll get approved. Good luck
KatIve got a really bad disease
Its got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
