Great News!!!!

Yes,  every bit helps.  Mine will be about 1500.00 a month but thats a good amount since my house is paid for.  That will just about cover all my bills and expenses plus I'll have a big retroactive check since they are going back to Jan 2007 as my start date of disability.   The law firm will get about 5K from that check but its well worth it to me.   Espeically as someone who deals with anxiety I didn't need the extra stress of trying to do the paperwork and stuff myself.

Steve, I knew what it was when I saw your thread. This is a great day for you. It will free your mind from so much worry. Like they say, one doesn't get rich on the SSD but it sure helps. Mine is not that much money but I still am glad to have it.

It is a bummer to pay the lawyer that much, but like you said the stress is just the pits. I know that I spent a lot of time on my application and got it on the first try, however, as I sat at my computer I would feel like crying. I could only think that to be ill, have brain fog and then HAVE TO DO THIS********PAPERWORK!!!!! Good luck to you. Irish

Oh  Billiedude,

I am so happy for you.  I feel the load is lifted off of you.  I hope you feel better I have worried and then prayed.

I'll bet your feet are not touching the ground yet!!!!!!!!!!  I think the atty fee is well worth what you've "earned."

I think I was so excited to learn this yesterday that I must have spent all my mental currency because today I'm wiped and brain fogged out.   I've already had two naps today and I'm still tired.

HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  What a great early Christmas present.  I'm glad the wait is over for you.

Great news, I wish mine would come in. The paper work is the worst thing you can imagine doing when you have brain fog! The process takes forever.

[Billydude]

Joe,  thats why I had a law firm do it.  I knew I couldn't "deal" with it.

Great news for you! I was approved the first time too. I took 10 weeks, and they called me on the phone and told me. I was so happy. My mom is on SSDI also, (genetics) and she helped me with the paperwork. It makes you feel that at least you are contributing to your household, what a great feeling.

10 weeks wow that is fast.  Mine took about 5 months.

Hi Steve,

Let me also wade into this and send you lots of congratulations!!!!  It's good to see the system can still work for those who need it!  Shoot, if this brain fog continues, I may be applying for it soon myself.

Have a great thanksgiving!!!
