Due to an my health problems, I went on state disability, which ran out in April. Since then, I have been going through the social security revolving door.
I got my second denial today!! Arg! According to them, a job I worked ten years ago is a job that I can do now. What the hell?
That job entailed standing most of the day with a knife in my hand. Carrying glass and using large cutting blades. What the hell?
I have an epilepsy condition, they have to be crazy. I will get a pitance if I ever get SS, but they say I can do SOMETHING to make that much money.
I can't even drive anymore, so jeezus...
So today I did some checking. The information I have is that they didn't even contact my neurologist. Who did they think they needed to talk to? my eye doctor? Fortunately, my neurologist called today and said that he would write a letter to include in the appeal.
So back I go on the merry-go-round. It will be another 90 days before I will hear back. In the mean time, I asked what I should do, they told me to go on welfare. Never! I'm going to start up my old business to make some side money. I'm not up to it, but what can ya do?
I think it's just a damn shame that so many with so much knowledge, can't get past the idea that "you don't look sick". Because I can articulate I should be denied. One of the SS employees told me to act stupid and wear crappy clothes. It shouldn't be that way.
I'm not sure if I want to keep up the battle with the SS. It's not that much money, and its just degrading.
Ok, sorry to ramble. I'm being a crybaby, but thank you for listening.
Peace and happiness
