Hi all,
Yesterday I spoke with Alsup. They said I cannot claim unemployment and file for disabilty. That would delay my benefits for disability. As well, it would not look good with the judge.
During the phone interview, they only want doctors who treated you in the last year. I will have to speak with my family doc and see if he would validate disablity, if not I cannot file file for SSDI. I will talk to him on Tuesday.
Over the years I have seen many doctors to support my diagnosis. I will return to my psychiatrist, and to the pain control center, seeings as I will be paying for cobra. This will add to the list of doctors who will be treating me, and they can submit current medical info to ssdi
My daughter thinks I am crazy to turn down unemployment and live off my savings waiting for SSDI......As it is I will have to tell unemployment I am filing for disabilty and lose those benefits.
I cannot have it boths ways and she thinks I should run out my unemployment benefits.
I alway knew if I lost my job, I would have to apply for disabilty. However, this waiting and going to more doctors will drive me up the wall.
I am having a rough time with this....Alsup also said I will have to see SSDI doctors...arent these doctors working for the government, and are they more likely to deny my health conditions?
Has anyone seen ssdi doctors? what kind of exam do they do? I feel so intimidated with this...
any suggestions
Sharon
