I’m at 90% on the disability decision they’re asking me now to have a mental exam , any idea what that could mean?

The portal is wrong 99% of the time. If you allege a mental health impairment you will see one of their doctors... Never believe the progress statements in the portal.

Dang! I'm at 46% and I've got to go to one. I messed up!didn't have any doctor appointment within the last 90 days for mental issues, so from what I've gathered from info that's why. I've got a medical exam too. But lookup about the mental exam because you will need to know the info that helps you best. Don't forget they aren't your friend or personal counselor. Good luck!

During the midst of COVID I had an over the phone initial SSDI application interview. However, the SSA did not process my SSDI application and instead SSA took it upon themselves to process me under an SSI application and down played my SSDI application.

[@GospelOnTheStreet]

I got approved for SSDI but I was never informed as to the official reason WHY I got approved (e.g. was it grid rules or did I meet a listing). Of note, I did get a notice of award but it never addressed the reason WHY I got approved. Is SSA supposed to tell you the WHY? I personally think in my own mind that I probably met a listing impairment but I'm not certain. I was approved on my first attempt 9 weeks from the initial application submission. I was 50 when I filed. 100% Permanent and Totally Disabled with the VA too.

If you get approved before a hearing, they do not disclose the reasons why you were approved.

The VE said no first, then she said yes there was one job I could do. Then AlJ asks the VE how many of those jobs are in the national economy. VE said there were 4000 jobs in the national economy. Then ALJ asked VE if I had any transferrable skills. The VE said no. After that the hearing was over and I'm still waiting on a decision. What do yall think? Will I get approved?

I had disability benefits before as well ever since I was a kid it got cut off during pandemic when I was 18 I'm now 25 and learned to apply so I did the lady asked on the phone was I on disability before and I said yes she put me on hold for 40 minutes came back and said I had appointment then she started saying since I don't have a bank account it's ok they have cards and it can be setup that way before the appointment is that a good sign? Also she told me to bring proof of disability my social security and birth certificate so is it possible that when she left she went through my past records?

[@thegoodlawgroup]

It sounds like you've had quite an experience with your disability benefits. Regarding the call you had, it's hard to say for sure whether it's a good sign, but it seems like the representative you spoke with was trying to help and provide you with necessary information. The fact that she mentioned alternatives like cards for those without a bank account indicates that they're trying to accommodate your needs. Best of luck with your appointment, and I hope everything goes well for you!

My son faces the same thing when he turns 18 in a couple years. But I'll be there helping him. I hope you get yours fixed and your benefits back. Make sure you go to recent appointments regularly that shows your disability status on the appointment documents. Keep your application simple and match your records. It helps with the process.

Im 32 i been applying for SSI and ssdi for many years now.. i have a attorney, doctors paperwork from my PCP and my mental health provider both therapist and mental doctor.. but the question i have is i receive Medicare and Medicaid part A,B,C, and D since 2014 from my dad social security i don't pay nothing because no income more than one doctor signed me off form work, x-ray and more is that a good thing?? Do it helps my case to get approved??.. people ask why i get it and no benefits

[@cedlocc265]

And it was medical experts saying so what jobs I can and can't do no more than 4 hours so may breaks and no more than 10 pounds

[@A83-A83]

Do you get a check from your dad's social security? If so that may be why you're not getting SSI. ssdi is for when you work and have work credits. The only way they would give you a portion of SSI is if you don't get the equal amount of what your state provides. It's what my son gets with having funds coming from his dad's social security and the rest covered by SSI. Hope that helps you understand better.

​@@A83-A83I did at first 74 dollars.. I was getting it for 3 or 4 years then they stopped it send a letter saying I'm to old to be getting it but I still receive Medicaid and Medicare of my dad's social security number.. and by the way on what I was talking about in the comment I got denied and my attorney was shocked for two reasons because of my condition and I got on my social security app it said denied about a month later after my hearing with the judge so she applied it been waiting about 6 months now.. it's at the appeal council

Hello. I recently found your channel and it's been very informative. I was wondering if I could get an opinion about my hearing with the ALJ. I ended up being very nervous and anxious. I forgot to elaborate or time-stamp a lot of my answers. This caused me to blank out a few times about some of my med side effects among other little things. At the end of the hearing, the vocational expert did answer some hypothetical situations where he did find jobs I could do 2-3 times. Afterward, my attorney asked the vocational expert if there any jobs where I had to take multiple breaks and still maintain employment. The vocational expert said he could not recommend any jobs from this scenario. After the hearing, I spoke with my attorney's assistant. Apparently the lawyer told the assistant my hearing went well. I asked what that intels and he said the lawyer has plenty of experience with this judge and he feels confident he may have won my case. I told the assistant how much I feel I tripped over my words or left details and numbers out, but he insisted I did every thing right and not to worry. Does this sound like I may actually win my case? I did avoid certain phrases like 'actually" or "to tell you the truth." I did not interrupt. I felt I was polite and honest. I know it's hard to tell without all my details and the fact every case is different. Nothing is guaranteed. I'm trusting my lawyer's team, but I would like an outside opinion. Thanks!

[@goodmshawn]

Hello! I'm glad you found my channel informative. I cannot provide legal advice or predict the outcome of your case. However, I would suggest trusting your lawyer and their experience with the judge. It's understandable to feel nervous during a hearing, and forgetting to elaborate or time-stamp your answers is not uncommon. From what you've shared, it seems like your lawyer was able to ask the right questions and elicit helpful testimony from the vocational expert. Remember, every case is different, and it's ultimately up to the judge to make a decision based on the evidence presented. I wish you the best of luck with your case!

What about having worked on big, expensive things like getting a patent for utility company scale power plant that made more deductions than I could have income, while working multiple blue collar jobs to pay all the big bills? I was told by the local SS office to follow the IRS rules in their booklet and what I owed SS would be paid from that. I literally made more deductions than I had income. When SS time came, I'm told I'm 7 quarters short because SS refuses to count all my decades of work to get the patent, and SS disavowed the largest portion of my work outside of the slave work in another man's shop. Also, SS claims I am $1200 short because of the big deductions my work made to pay for all of the invention, design work, and patent. In real time I worked triple yet SS just disavowes most of my work. I am medically qualified after being almost burned to death at 12. So I was 100% disabled since was 12 and SS uses all my hard work against me to rule all I will ever get is SSI which is 50% below poverty.
