Social Security Adminstration Social Security making false decisions for my disabilty income i am not capable of working & the social security is making me poor refuses to look @ all medical evidence Ripoff Atlanta Georgia

Please, do not reply to my report. I, got my benefit's back. I, just

updated my report that social security finally did good & let me have my

benefit's back. This, is to advice to anyone who has the same trouble

keep appealing & get a lawyer, also social security say's I can still

work & find a job. I, already told them my interest was truck driving

I told them I would not make much money when I first started driving.

First of all, I do not know Charles' situation in depth and am not really commenting on that.

I am just extremely surprised at some of the responses to his posts. For instance, "if you can sit at a computer, you can work" or "being lazy isn't a disability" etc.

Ok, for those of you who think someone with bi-polar can work, not ALL people diagnosed with bi-polar can. My husband is bi-polar. He takes his medications every single day. He never misses a dose. But, he has lost several jobs due to his disability. He is not on disability but I cannot see how someone like him can keep a job for any amount of time to support a family. We have been talking about applying for him at the suggestion of his doctor. And just getting "hungry" doesn't make someone get up and go to work. When he hits his low points, he won't even get out of bed for 2 days. Let alone eat! We have almost lost our home several times and if it wasn't for friends and family, we would have.

Some times it takes years to find the right medication balance. He can get on the computer etc. It doesn't mean that he can go out of the safety (and thats what I call it) of his home and work. His work history is such that his med's will work enough to get him to work for a few months and then he starts calling in. We have been together for 8 years and this pattern has never changed.

What breaks my heart is that he really does try. When he starts feeling better (and let me say that he NEVER feels "right" just not bottomed out) he jumps right back on the "gotta find a job" band wagon and gets back to work. He is then, proud of himself again etc and then, the rug gets pulled out from under him. We are about to try yet ANOTHER round of new meds on him to see if these will work. Sadly, it takes a month to see any change. So....we wait.

I guess I just got a little hurt by the reactions of people here. I am physically disabled and have just been turned down for SSD/SSI. I have worked since I was 14 years old. I am 37 now. I have always worked hard jobs, both physically and mentally. Now, I can't work. I have several things wrong with me and am on oxycotin, muscle relaxers and motrin everyday. This is just to keep the pain levels down for me until my surgery in April. I can barely walk, stand or sit. I have done physical therapy (which was canceled by the PT because it was doing more damage than good), been hospitalized for several days, been in and out of the ER and Urgent Care and been to the doctor's several times. This is all within a few months time. The only reason I have to wait until April for my surgery is because of my insurance company. I injured my back in Dec of 2006 and got my insurance in 2007 so I have to wait until the "pre-existing clause" to be over. So, by the comments I have seen here, I should be able to go get a job because I can sit and type here.... Hmmmm, I don't think so. First of all, the reason I am able to sit and type is because I haven't taken my pain meds today. So, I am coherent. The reason I haven't taken my pain meds is because I haven't had to leave the house. If I have to work, I would have to be able to shower, get dressed and get myself there. To be able to do that, I would have to take my pain meds etc.

On those meds, I don't have the mental faculties to be able to do the job's I know how to do. Not to mention, the ability to be able to walk or stand for any length of time. I have a wheelchair but cannot operate it by myself because it's a back injury. So my days are spent in the house, at my computer, trying to baby my back so I don't have to take the pain medication. I can't stand the feeling of being foggy headed etc. Oh, and not to mention that some days I can't even get out of bed due to pain and severe weakness in my legs. There are other issues that are tied to my back but I will just leave it at that. So, I just want those out there to know that just because someone is able to type a half way decent sentence, it doesn't mean that they can just run right out there and go to work.

Of course, I am not looking for disability for long term. Just until my surgery and probably a little bit afterwards but still, it just seemed that a lot of you were unfairly harsh to those who do have legitimate problems.

I am contacting a lawyer (which I suggest all to do) since I was just denied a couple of days ago. And YES Charles, I agree with you, SSA do deny quickly and a lot of times unfairly. They do make you work for their money. Which is kind of funny because you are applying because you can't work (hehe I found that ironic). My Mom is on SSI and it took her a year and a half before they accepted her and she has now been on it for 25 years but it took a bit to win. She only won with the help of a lawyer. So, if you have been denied, get a probono lawyer or one that will bill on a contingency basis. That's what I am going to do.

I, won @ the end no matter how hard social security in georgia tried to take it away from me I won I depend on these beneifits they almost put me on the street, well it didn't happen. After, 3 years I won @ the end the problem started when I moved to georgia I will never move into georgia again, I just would like to add this to my report that I won @ the end.

To date, I got my full benefits & social security back with 3 years of this Its over & I can get on with my life I have appeald the decision & I reapplied for my benefits & I got approved, Its a huge relief. Its, amazing how rip-off report can help you when you don't think It Is helping you we all can make a difference, I have received my full benefits. My, prayers where answered from god.

SSI is an altogether different program the Social security disablity! The program is designed for those under the age of 18 or those who have not enough work related credits to qualify for the disability program.

Therefore you must qualify by income and need so working on SSI is not idea as you obviously are not going to qulaify for an income based program if your working and making at least min.wage since you would then make more then the alloted amount of SSi in any state.

You may however if your on SS disabilty apply and be granted what is known as a ticket to work and you may work a certain number of hours on this ticket without fear of losing your benefits for a period of transition from disability to work force. Since the process for applying and being granted disability is a long one they give you the opportunity to try and see if you can successfully reneter the workforce after disability without cutting your benefits. However if you can and do participate and do well for the period of transition you will disqualify for your disability award at some point in the review process so beware of the ticket to work if you think you cannot carry out a workday and a 40 hour a week job then do not try it or you may find yourself having to restart the ntire process of proving your disabled again.

SSI has no such program with the exception of school age children that are not far from reaching adulthood and whom may not qualify under the disability requirements of adults.

More then likely this is what happened to this person whom is the origional poster here,maybe having been on payments of SSi since childhood and then reaching the age of amjority and the qaulification quidelines being different for adults that are disabled versus childrens disability qualifications they didnt pass and were forced to reenter the workforce either as in the past or for the first time in their life.

I would have suggested you use the opportunity of SSI payments to maybe seek some type of training or technical schooling so that you would not have to qualify for adult disability since it is likely your not going to qualify as an adult for the same malady you did as a child and there are many different ilnesses and injuires that have different qualifying natures for children then adults.

Good luck to you whatever you do and remember there are all kinds of places in the community to seek help in trainng a person who has been on some type of disability. Take advantage of them as it will certainly pay more then SSI and then soem day if you ever need to reapply you may very well qualify for SS disability with some work credits in.

Example here of of payment difference for those who draw SSi and those who have worked and have credits in to qualify for SSD. SSi in most states pay somewhere around $564 no matter how many dependednts you have and if you have no other income of any kind. SSD with some work credits in of say 15 years of pretty stable employment at a reasonable rate of pay is around $1264 and if you have children or dependents of qualifying age you they also will get about half that amount divided between them.

See why it pays to work at al for as long as you can and pray that you dont have to use that disability ever in your lifetime? It is good to know that at least I did have some work history that paid off when the time did come though.


Good luck to you!

You would not be behaving as you are now. I can't believe she is backing you up on this. I would hope that you would know, but she most certainly SHOULD know that social security does not fall out of the sky. It comes out of your PAY when you are working. How much have you paid in? You don't want a trivial job such as flipping burgers in a fast food joint? How do you think a lot of us started out? I am now self employed but when I was a teenager, I waited tables. As a young adult I worked 3 jobs (not 1, not 2) to make extra money. Job No. 1: office (I wanted the experience), Job No. 2: sales route (I liked the money and the people experience), Job No. 3: You got it -- waiting tables (great tips). I paid my first car off in half of the loan time. My child works at one of those fast food places while she is putting herself through college. She worked her way up to management because she wanted the benefits. (She has been working since she was 15). I suggest your Mother take parenting classes and teach you how to be a Responsible Adult and not a spoiled child. Obviously she did not work at it when you were a child. You have no clue as to what the real world is like. You won't get rich on disability. You won't ever have more than you have right now.

Listen up, everybody to whom reads this report! do not get my reports mixed up with everyone elses! even though people do this to mess everything up for you on this website!. This, is not peter from the piggly wiggly reports! just because I am anyoumous don't mean it is him!. People, meant to mess things up for people know people accuse peter of writing this report! rip-off report knows who writes these reports!, let me point this out just because I can write this report & try to explain my problem don't mean I don't qualify social security benefits. Peter, did not write this report its not I did! so quit getting my report mixed up with his!.

Nobody, seems to care about the emotional stress or nobody cares what they put me threw like the social security! I can't have a life because social security took my benefits away!, nobody cares about the emotional stress & mental anquise like social security doesn't care!. I, don't get why social security is treating me this way I hate to be anywhere else where people don't have nowhere to live because their family doesn't care about them or how their court system treats people, I will never live in any other state besides the state of alabama!. My, heart goes out to people in other states for what they get put threw with a disability like my & no employer will hire them & they get abused by everybody & by the social security & by their family members! & having everyones civil rights violated & being poor!.

The, problem began when I moved to the state of georgia 12/01 & social security evlauated me 10/02 & found I wasn't disabled, my mother & I told them the same problems & disabilty I have been have sense 1994 & I had the same diffuclities taking the same test & diffuclities answering the questions!, & the evalator came back I was not disable this was new to me because all before test they had given showed my scores in the low range below 70 & know they say I can work. My, mother & me appeal every decision with them saying the same things over & over & know the ALJ judges decision was unfavorably!, because I was not treated fairly! I believe it has to deal within the state of georgia do this to people who really need this money & making false decisions to deny peoples claims!. I, have moved back in alabama & filed a new claim & hopefully in the next few months I will be able to get my benefits in once I submit my new evidence, georgia is just trying to mess with my benefits because this all started when I moved in the state of georgia! them messing my claim up!. I, have appealed the judges decision but I don't see why I need to sense I live in alabama know that was georgia, alabama understands alot more about my condition then georgia then hopefully I will have a better chance with them listening to me, for the months I didn't get social security they will pay me in one lump sum. If, people are not in my shoes then they don't need to critize me because one day it will happen to them!.

This is to everybody, keep making fun of us people who is own social security benefits! because one day you will be in our shoes unable to work & make a living!, so keep judging us & acting like this! because you will probally be disabled & unable to work & have to live on social security benefits & welfare.

So, keep giving people a hardtime who is on social security benefits & welfare & keep accusing us living of us because ya'll just want to be incontrol mind your own business!, & one day you will see how it feels being made fun of & ridculed because we are unable to provide a living for ourselves!, & we & other people will make fun of you! when you treat people bad you forget that one day people will treat you the same way ya'll have treated people on social security benefits & welfare!.

So, keep treating us badly one day ya'll want have that big expensive house to live in or a nice car to drive, or your high incomed job! so keep it up making fun of us & giving us a hardtime because one day you will lose everything!.

Dosen't this post ALSO remind you of "PETER from 'PONY', Alabama"? Their style of writing to so alike.

To those who oppose me I will stand by my post! I see the only intentions for people is to cause hate! & try to ruin things for me! Well, I stand by my statements! & my post! It will not work with what people has got plotted against me or their negative comments or abusive comments towards me I have said everything about my situation!

I have a right to make complaints all I feel like just because I can type a report about my problem doesn't me I don't have a disabilty anymore which the social security says I don't! I do what to drive a truck for a living but I still need help from my social security check!, I could still keep my check but social security will reduce the amount that I currently get $552 but I am afraid I will lose it all, but I have no work history except a small part time job @ a grocery store is the only thing I ever had. I am qualified for social security I was already recieving social security benefits when they cut me off from it!

I have said everything about my case & what I am currently struggling threw! with social security! Well people can say what they feel like! They can say I don't have a right to social security benefits! Good day!

As much as I agree that the Social Security system isn't perfect, Charles is of the mindset that the world owes him and his mom (see his rants about Claude Raptis, EEOC, Henry Mann, Schneider, Bush, videotape dude, Progressive Insurance, et al), and the rules shouldn't apply to them. He complained that he can't get into truck driving school (then says elsewhere that he WILL be going to truck driving school), but now complains that he can't perform physical labor. Does he honestly think driving a truck is a cushy job? I treat tons of neck and back problems from truckers with Workers Compensation claims. Charles says he is bipolar, which would NOT preclude him from doing physical labor. He just chooses not to, because he would actually have to extend himself and make an effort.

Oh, time for a civics lesson, Chuckie..you cannot sue the United States Government without them giving your permission to do so. Learned that in 7th grade Social Studies class.

You can work a little and still receive SSI benefits. In fact, the Social Security Administration encourages it!

My friend, I'll call her D, has a son who is Autistic and on SSI. He just turned 18 and is working at a Goodwill store. I believe you can make up to $900.00 a month before they reduce your benefits.

Working with the elderly and disabled everyday, I've seen the nonsense SSA pulls on people first hand. They lose paperwork, put the wrong social security numbers on paperwork, etc. And don't get me started on Medicare. We had a woman, who was dying from throat cancer. Her cancer was so bad that one day, her tongue fell out. Medicare claimed she was receiving too much pain medication and wasn't going to pay for it anymore! So, her family paid for it out of their own pockets.

I agree, there needs to be some changes in the way SSA does things. It practically takes an act of Congress just to get on SSI in the first place. I know they don't look at all the facts. Hell, back in the 70's, my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He was given six months to live. He worked for as long as he could before having to apply for SSI. Of course, his claim was denied! Finally, after several appeals, he received the benefits. He died three and a half years after his diagnosis.

Quit trying to sabotaging my reports!, social security knows everything this is the same crap the social security still says! that I can work!, I cannot do manual labor I don't care what social security says! so quit trying to make me look bad cause it ain't going to work!. I, guess people can't stand that they are wrong so they result in bullying people on the net cause they think they can sit behind a computer & insult people!, people cannot admit I am right! so quit giving me a hard time for heavens sake what have I ever done to ya'll. I, guess people can't stand it I receive help from social security that they are tyring to ruin things for me like they have ruin everything else for me!, I do qualify for social security benefits I do not care what social security says if i am not qualified for beneifits or anybody on here trying to ruin things for me give it up cause its not going to work!. I, am not afraid to speak out i guess people hasn't got the idea buy know reason why they still keep fighting me well to whoever posted the above its not gonna work because I will get back what has been wrongfully taken from me!, you might try to ruin things for everybody else but its not going to happen to me ya'll need to grow-up & quit making fun of people who have been hurt!. I, guess people haven't figured it out buy know that I am not backing down!. I, am qualified for social security they have over looked my disabilty! & my evidence they do not care I have nothing to hide! I am not lying about my disabilty which the judge accused me & my mother of doing!, I mean who do people think they are treating me like this! they all think I am stupid or something! that I shouldn't deserve to have a life because of my disabilty!. What, social security could @ least do! is let people stay on social security while they get work experince besides just cut them off completely from their money so it would help us surive! people just want to try to upset me!, I have been done like this all my life! & social security is trying to take my life away! they do not care about people if they are unable to get jobs or small jobs like having to work in a grocery store who can live just by $5.25 hourly! social security could @ least! let people stay on social security benefits while they get enough work experince to make it on their own, well this isn't what social security isn't doing for me!. I, guess people can't stand it because I get help from social security! because I am not capable of holding down a fulltime job because of my disabilty!, if social security keeps this up they will have a class action lawsuit for making false decisions denying peoples disabilty claims! I will make sure I will join this class action lawsuit, becuase I am tired of everybody putting my life threw hell!.

The OP posted a consumer comment to a rip-off-report regarding Schneider Trucking dated 3/17/2006.

See:
ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff80497.htm

The following are quotes from the above referenced rip-off-report (3/17/2006 consumer comment)

"I worked at winn-dixie from 05/05-02/06"

His reason for quitting?

"working in a grocery is very hard manual labor job I could not stand it anymore so I had to quit I do not know how the other people I worked with could stand or put up with a job like that but I stuck with it for 10 months I was grateful they hired me it was my first job but I was not used to manual labor you had to go all over the parking lot & gather bugies you had to put up with hateful custormers even if you did everything right & were kind & respectful toward them they were not they same towards you back you had to stand for 7 hours you get a break but it was only 30 minutes, you were thankful they let you have breaks in this kind of work because you are on your feet constantly this type job was not for me I feel sorry for the people that have to work that type job because you get tired real easily you had to work out in the hott & cold freezing weather & rainy weather & be sick all the time this past summer 2005 was the hottest summer in history. I was thankful I quit that grocery store job I did not realize how hard it was I am sure it is very hard for the cashiers then for us but I don't know how they could do it & stick with it I sure couldn't stick with it any longer its hard phyical work"

These statements that he posted clearly show that he is capable of holding a job but he does not want to work hard. Based on his own statements he does not qualify for SSI.

Charles for your own sake, stop making excuses and blaming everyone for your problems in life. You control your future. Its up to you change your life for the better. You are 24 (if I recall correctly)....its time for you to grow up and take charge of your life.

Cyd

Social security does not care, @ least they can do is help people find jobs before they cut their social besides saying they are able to work & cut of their social security benefits, like how they treated me!. Social security does not care if you don't have money to buy food or a place to live! the judge didn't look @ all my medical evidence! he refused to listen to me or my mother which social security has done all along like the evaluator in 10/02 who started all this refused to listen to me!, I do not know what the problem is. I, have filed a new claim! & appeal the judges decision & me & my mother will tell the appeals board what has been going on & how the judge would not listen to us or social security will not listen to us the entire time! just like the evaluator, but social security doesn't care if you have money for food or a place to stay I think its time for some changes need to be made @ how social security looks into people with 22q11 deletion. Their, was another person who was in a battle with social security for 3 years like me with the 22q11 deletion & he was awarded his social security benefits back because he was unable to work! & social security caused all these problems for him like they have caused me!, I am hoping the appeals board will listen to me & not ignore me like how the judge has or how the hearing officer would not consider anything just like the ALJ has done to me.

Being LAZY isn't a disablity. It's a mental disorder, but not a true disability. It's cured very easily...HUNGER.

When you get hungry enough, you'll get a J-O-B.

Yes, SSI is a joke. I have a friend who is currently trying to get on SSI. What a pain.

As far as working goes, have you tried to contact a Vocational Rehad office in your area? They will train you for a decent job for free.

Good luck with your fight with SSI. After reading up on 22q11 deletion, I don't understand why they cut off your SSI, since it can cause so many problems.

As far as working goes, have you tried to contact a Vocational Rehad office in your area? They will train you for a decent job for free.

I, already knew I wouldn't get any postive feed back & that people would say I don't deserve to be on social security well it isn't up to them, I can't help it if I can't work or make a living for myself! & people just praise social security for the judge who denied my social security befenits!, I still need help I cannot make a living on my own. The, evaluator who evaluated me 10/02 even lied saying I had previous work experince when I told him I never had a job!, he lied & saying I wasn't disabled anymore & I wasn't entitled to social security benefits this evaluator started this whole problem by lying about my condition like how social security has lied about me on several occassions! like how the evaluator lied about me they are doing this to everyone who is disabled like me!, the evaluator got my condition mixed up so they are the ones who really started this, & the ALJ believed them over me & said mine & my mothers statements was not creditable well I have appealed the judges decision & I have filed a new claim & I will update the outcome of this situation.

Social security is doing this to everybody no just me! if ya'll can't understand my problem don't judge me you'er not in my shoes!

I have told all I am going to tell, I, have filed a new claim & appealed the judges decision i will tell the appeals board all whats been going on so is my mother! how the judge refuses to listen to me & my mother & how all along they refuse to listen to my side of the story.

Social security, has been a godsend to me & they helped me out threw alot of hard times I might not had anything extra but @ least I have had a roof over my had & with meals 3 times a day & with me living with my mother, I, do thank social security for all these years they have helped me.

This 'rip-off' report is bogus.

If it's real, why is this person 'anyoumous'?

BTW, Where is Pony, AL? Can't find it on any map site, nor the Postal Service zip code site.

Peter, can you explain? Is there a zip code there?

Thanks

First, you did not earn the right to collect Social Security. You were granted relief under the law because at one point and time your disability and age made it impossible for you to be a productive member of society, however that benefit is because of people that do work poring money into a system that is dying a rapid death.

Now you are 17, and your abilities have changed. While you Don't want to work for some job earning minimum wage or digging a ditch you do not say you cannot. You talk about what you want, which is $500+ a week, but you do not at any point deny you have the ability to work at a job that pays minimum wage or involves labor, you just state you do not want to, in fact you go so far as to ask people for information on home based business.

Part of being an adult and a productive member of our society, some times we have to do things we do not want to do. Society should not have to cave into your whims, you make it clear you can work, but do not want to do certain things, then talk about how your about to be homeless because the government will not support you. Frankly based on what you have said here if I were set to preside over your case I would have also denied your petition.

I say it is time to quit looking at social security like some rich relative, time to grow up and work, time to contribute to the system you took from for so long, and time to stop thinking like you are entitled and have a right to something you do not. It is also time for you to leave the system for those that truly need it.

Before you cry the victim and claim that I am being unfair to you, I have been an advocate for people that truly need to be on SSI, I have assisted them at every turn I can, including testifying at their hearing and calling on my senators to help the people that needed it. I truly believe there are many people out there that need the help, I also believe there are a lot of people leeching off the system or that continue to receive benefits even though they should not, mainly because of their same sense of self entitlement, with no thought or regard for the consequences their actions will being to others.

Vickey is 100% correct, without Doctors in your corner: You Have No Case.

I've had 10 surgeries in the last 3 years, I can't wait to go back to work. Dealing with the Government is way harder than any job I have ever had.

Signed, I'll trade ya bodies any time. The mind ain't so sharp either after going under the knife that many times.

People just don't understand social security isn't honest when making their decisions. Their evaluation was not honest they did not look all my medical records & still they say I am not disabled. I do not know what's going on but I do know they are making false decisions this has been going on sense 10/02 when they did not find me disabled anymore they refuse to admit they are wrong! I will continue to appeal this decision. Social security does this to everybody who really needs these benefits & they don't care.

The government needs to raise the minimum wage to $9 an hour for people to just survie who can survie on $5.25 hourly. This whole mess began in 10/02 I still had the same disabilty before 10/02 just because you turn 21 means you'er still the same person you where before 21!

It's sad how social security treats people & know the judge says when I turned 18 I was not allowed to get benefits while I was still disabled then! Why did they evaluate me when I was 18 besides to wait until I was 20 they said cause I turned 20 I am not disabled anymore my iq scores where the same has always! has was before I turned 20 & know all this mess I have to deal with!

Today I knew social security would treat me like this one day! There's another person with the same kind of condition like mine & who is a little older then me got awarded their social security benefits back after fighting with social security like with my situation.

True, its sad how social security is treating people who really need social security & health benefits! I do have medical evidence to back everything up but the judge refused to look @ all my medical evidence, I lost my social security & benefits!. But, I have filed a new claim & appealed the judges decision I have medical evidence but from the very beginning it has been like this with the judge & social security refusing to look @ all my medical evidence because they cannot admit they are wrong! it has just been a hassle from the very beginning!, it has been like this with the judge & social security refusing to listen to me or my mother & then the judge says mine & my mothers statements are not creditable!. Well, I have medical evidence to back up my disability! but they refuse to look into it!, its been a pain when they will not work with you! or listen to you. The, judge refused to listen to me or my mother. I, have filed a new claim with new medical evidence to prove my disabilty which the judge refuse to look @ all my medical records I am glad I don't have to deal with this judge anymore mabye his decision to rule unfavorably will help me win this next time because his decision was wrong.

Listen, what ever your name is, my wife is disabled - she is bi-polar, has a personality disorder, a social disorder, and she is ADD. My oldest daughter is disabled with severe eplipsy and my youngest daughter also has eplipsy, but is not disabled.

While it is true that most people are successfully treated for being bi-polar, there are some that the meds just don't always work right as they should and for these, disability is the proper determination.

For most people, if you can wash dishes, watch a security monitor, stuff envelopes, do a paper route, etc, the SSA will NOT find you disabled.

The fact that you have a computer to use and that you are proficient enough to post, tells me that there is indeed something for which you can do. Perhaps you can be a professional poster (there are companies that pay people to do that) or a professional reader.

Question: You say your siblings make the $50,000 to $100,000, then why can't they help you?

BTW, I assist people with their SSI and/or disability claims and if I take a case, it's because they ARE disabled and I have yet to have one that I needed to appeal to the ALJ.

That doesn't mean that I don't or haven't done ALJ cases, for I get some of those too. But in your case, from the limited amount of info you've provided, you are NOT disabled and I am glad the SSA is/has turned you down.

Finally: my oldest daughter who truely is disabled and has had to live a rough life being mainstreamed in the schools, doesn't and won't allow her disability to limit the scope of what she does. She is now 17 and is working full time during the summer and will work part time during the school year.

She makes about $6.00 per hour and loves it.

From reading up on the 22Q11 defect I can't find your problems listed, i.e, inability to deal with stress, no work history, etc. You don't appear in your writings to be illiterate or below the 70 percentile in IQ, and you say nothing about what physical ailments are preventing you from finding meaningful work, just that you won't accept any low paying jobs, or work that requires physical effort.

I applaud the Social Security Administration for performing an honest evaluation and taking off their roles the clients that either outgrew their disability, or were erronously placed on the roles in the first place.

If you truly are disabled, then I suggest you look around for a pro bono law office, something like legal aid, and ask that they help you in obtaining a reversal of the judgement.

I too am disabled and went thru many years trudging the sludge our governement has attached to the disability process and during that long process of forms after forms most repeating the same questions tme after time and finally winning I gathered alot of intel and how to's to manuever this system but first let me say that I am not totally unaware of why this time consuming long process is in effect as I currently know 6 people whom draw SSI/SSD AND WORK FULL TIME JOBS,under the table and that isnt even counting the ones I have known over the years and dint relaize who exactly was getting ripped off here while I was still a tax payer I might add.

In saying all of this let me assure you that most of the people I have known and seen and belonging to a SS forum with live people in the millions making this fight for their disablity daily I have gotten lot and lots of stories some like your and others not so. Those that lose their benefits usely do so for several reasons and I will discuss those as I have learned themm. The first and foremost is they never saw Doctors and never on a regular basis or didnt take the medicines prescribed by the Docotrs they did see or they simply didnt follow the Doctors orders to self helping.

I know there are a millions and one reasons folks have given as to why they dont do this,ex: no money,not enough money, cant find one who knows this disease, none that understand, dont have transporation, whatever the reasone they DONT go to Docs for years on end and then when review for their benefits comes along those teams that do those reviews are using year old medical reports to base a decision on for whether or not your still disabled. Yet all those who are turned down and have an unfavorable review want to blame everyone but themsselves.

I cant agree that making statements such as being here and being able to type makes you not disabled as I am here and as you will have already noticed have a certain degree of educations since I can spell relatively well and I can form normal thought processes but I still am disabled and do draw disability although I am not qualified for SSI since I worked 25+ years before disabling out on the job I do know how they work and how they base their deisions on the same process as SSD minus the qualifications for income.

I know enough about it to know that SSI entitles you to healthcare via the state medicaid office and that you have access to treatment for your illnesses and problems and you have access to medicines to treat those same problems and you can go to specialists after going thru your primary in most states and I also know as a participant of medicaid your also eligable for transportation to and from medical visits.

I have disabled out in 98 and drained my workers comp program for as long as they were obligated to pay and then went forward with disablity application when after 3 years and 7 surgeries later and alot of stuff inbetween i was still not able to work and more so after all of that. I was denied at all entry levels and went before a hearing Judge after 3 years of waiting and was fully awarded on record to backdate of application. I did indeed have an Attorney and believe me once they got my name int he data base as appelaing for SSD I had an ungodly amount of offers for the fight that was to ensue in court before the hearing Judge as if you have a legit case at this point most of the work is over and they do farly well for just having to sit and wait for a hearing date with you and then appearing on your behalf as counsel with you.

The ads for these type of Attorneys cover 13 pages in my local phone book and I dont live in L.A.!

I am required to see the Doctor and that is my family one once a month every month due to the type of meds I am on and he has notes on me that fill many a chart since this is his policy and then I see the surgeon that performed the ops at least twice a year and even if I am not in need of his opinion or help I do so anyway so he can at least document that i am doing this or that and how if any I have gotten worse or better, if I have any other problems outside of my disbality I also make those appointments and always always get copies of any and all tests, procedures, appointments, and progress notes and yes it is alot of paperwork to store but when my review comes along I have everything in order and all the names and addresses and dates that i saw these Docs so that there isnt any doubt in any reviewers opinion that I do seek medical care for my disabilities and i do seek any new and innovative procedure out there that might come along and help me. Makes their job alot easier and assures me that I dont find myself in your position from any fault of my own.

If I were you between now and the time I were going for that review I would be fidning any and all Doctors I could to see me and make a statement on my behalf as to whether I am able to do any meaningful or gainful employment and this is the key words here my friend as they dont expect you to make a fortune and given the fact that you have been on SSi since before you were an adult they know you are not going to make more then minimum wage and this is still more then your making on SSi I assure you even if you dont work full time.

If you have mental problems and learning difficulties then I suggest you look for a Doctor or mental health organizationt o back all that up and then I suggest you find another one to back that one up as one isnt enough to make it so.

YOu get yourself a Attorney and follow whatever protocol he tells you to follow and you fill out each and every form they send you to fill out and then have someone else fill it out as well on your behalf. Get letters from people or family that know you as well and know your condition and how much help you require for daily living.

If they give you meds you fill them and you take them and you keep each and every receipt that you did so and have your pharmacy send you a printout of all of them before you go to that hearing or review. You take not one piece of info that came from one medical place or person for granted as this one piece can make or break your case for you.

Is it a pain in the butt? You bet! Is it a time consumming process that seems never ending? YOu bet! Is it getting the best of you? You bet it will! Is it necessary for you to maybe win if you want to keep getting that $500 something a month? You bet it is your only shot at this point.

Now let me tell you who to blame for this versus the SS admin. Those folks I mentioned way back in the begining of this post that work everyday under the table drawing money off the tax payers that they shouldnt be drawing and cheating each and every person who can and does go to work today and those who worked the better part of their lives and paid into the system that may or may not be there when they need it. Those are the fine upstanding folks whom you need to place this report on.

You by now are asking why I dont report them myself? I have time and time again and everytime I learn of another one and everyone who knows someone like them should be notifying the Attorney Generals office and make sure you have as much info on this person as you can possibly get. Where and who they are working for and when they work and their names and addresses and SS number if you know it and report it even annonymoulsy if you have to as they take these kinds of reports as well although it makes it alittle more complicated it keeps you out of it.

That is the only way this system is going to be able to help those who really need it when the time comes and in a meaningful and time limited way when and if we can get rid of those that are ripping off the disabled in the worst sense of the word not the administration made up to make the decisions.

Self here here whomever you are is the key in winning and keeping your awards and benefits. You cant just get it sit back and draw it for a lifetime and not expect to show that ten years from now with medical progress as it is you have not gotten any better, sorry I certainly can understand this systems reasons for this being as it is.

The, reason I need a home base business because I do not want to deal with the hassle of work place bullying or work place harasment of face with discrinmantion which is what people are faced with these days I have extreme anexity when I just think about it!, so my best choice would be If i had an internet home base business making $552 hey i want in this If i heard people becoming rich from home base business I would like to be in on it to. But, its very hard to find what other people are into I have no money of my own to invest in an home base business my social security check got stoped & know I am DESPERATE! & scared!, please if anybody has any good advice or information about a home base business if anybody cares to share this information with me please put it on my report I would greatly appericare it. I, do not know how to look for this information i really need help $552 isn't much but it pays for my food each month & a home! but nothing else!, I need a job where I can make $552 a wekk & a internet business is my only hope if I can only find one.

I have filed a new claim for social security benefits to submit my new medical evidence & filed the judges appeal. Of course If I could find a internet business making $552 a week what my social security check what I get a month I would be find.

For the time I spend on the internet I could run an internet business making $552 a week! that would be awesome! But that is just a dream!. Their is no legit home base business out their all they are looking is to take advantage of your money & give you nothing in return!

I can only wait & hope! I only have a high school education but thank god I have graudated high school & got my diploma but that Is all I have. All I need is a miracle!

Please if anybody has any information about a legit home base business please please could I have the information or a home base business where you don't have to invest any money to get started. Because I don't have any money of my own If anybody could help I would appreciate you would be a godsend all the time i spend on the internet I could be earning money while i do it. I rather work on the internet then go to a work place & put up with harassment & being discrinmanted against!.

Social security says the same thing, just because I can use a computer & do normal things don't mean I am able to work or hold a job or answer questions one on one like i did @ the hearing, just because I can do these things social says I am not entitle to beneifits they are so wrong. Their, is another case the other person who has had my condition & learning disabiltly social security is doing the same thing to him, the same thing their doing to me & after a prolong legal process for 3 years he was awarded SSI beneifts back so their is hope for me.

It don't matter if i can type or do basic things but it doesn't mean i cannot hold a job I am trying to get my point across here!, the judge was unfair towards me @ then end I hope i get my SSI benefits back!. Social security is doing everything in their power to put me down! they are doing this to everybody who has my condition they don't understand they just refuse to understand, the other person I read about got their benefits awarded back why is social security treating me like this! I don't owe any apology they owe me an apology, due to my condition I am currently suffering depression & anexity along with my disabilty, oh social security says I am able to do one thing then I don't need SSI benefits just like how ya'll are saying about me.

I already knew the judges decision so I wasn't going to get mad because of what they have been doing to me for the last 3 years I need this money to surive on!, I already knew his decision was going to be unfavorable after how his office has been treating me for the last 3 years lied about me on several occassion saying I wasn't going to attend the hearings did not send me a notice @ the second hearing so I was i suppose to know the judge got ugly with my mother @ the first hearing because his sectary lied saying I wasn't going to come so my mother explained everything & got that straited out, its just been a viscous cycle.

Their is a class action lawsuit agaisnt SSI for social security doing this to people what their doing to me denying peoples disabilty benefits, everyone has it wrong just because I can do one thing to them it means I can hold a job & i am not entitled to SSI benefits.

Well, I will continue to appeal everything me & my mother & my mother will file a complaint agaisnt this judge for his unfair treatment! I have a low iq still & I do not care if people think I am some kind of a retard for receiving social security benefits, I am entitled to them. Social security knows excatly what they are doing they do this to people who really need SSI benefits who is unable to provide a living for themselves like me!, If they are other people who social security is treating them wrong like how they are treating me wrong then they need to speak out this is the only way how we can get our word spread out!.

Charles,

Okay, somehow the bi-polar diagnosis does not surprise me. Things with you make a lot more sense now. BUT, this does not mean you cannot work. Maybe you are not capable of running a Fortune 500 company, but you ARE capable of handling a job. I have known a number of manic depressed people in my life and the majority of them are quite capable of having a job, family and normal life. YOU have to make the decision that this diagnosis is not going to run your life. Take your meds, see your doctor and decide for yourself that you will stop blaming everything on everyone else. YOU are responsible for your own life bi-polar or not.

Good luck to you.

I work with a company that employs many disabled people in jobs that earn $10 - 15+ an hour. This program that my company belongs to is in most every community and does outreach services to most anyone that is disabled. You may think you are "too disabled" to work, but tell that to many of our employees. We have a young man that has Downs Syndrome, he could not even begin to write a report as you did, let alone read it or understand it. He often has bathroom accidents, cannot read or write, talks to people that aren't there and yet he earns a good wage ($10.50), shows up to work every day, and works very hard. That is one example of many other workers we have employed in our company. I have also noticed in your first post here your grammar, manner of speaking and general writing skills were adequate, but as people pointed out that you were intelligent and able enough to write this report you should be able to have a job, your skills became increasing worse. You should discontinue your fight and find as many resources as you can to help you attain a good job. There are plenty of them out there. Also, to discount the numerous employees of the places you find to lowly to work at, you owe an apology. I myself was raised by an "unemployable" mother who had to perform menial tasks (ie. fast food worker, grocery bagger) to provide food for her children, and she did. She eventually provided me with a fantastic work ethic, college education and now I am able to take care of her. Take the effort you are using to spread the bad word against the SSA and get a job!

When, I was diagnosed in 1989 8 years after I was born when I was 8 years old, with my disabilty I could do the same things know That I could do back then & know all of a sudeen social security says I am able to work, how do they except me to work with no work experince no employer will hire me with no work experince mabye a grocery store but they will hire anybody. I, do not want to work in fast food or a grocery store or fast food for the rest of my life I know I will never have a job making $50,000 or $100,000 a year which is my dream like the rest of my family members do I am in a dark time right know & facing homelessness all I need know Is a miracle from god. I, was diagnosed with depression & anexity problems I am currently taking antidepressants for my depression my doctor will prescribe medication for my anexity, I am not leaching off anything I am a legitmant disabilty & have medical evidence to prove It they have been unfair towards me & refuse knowledge my disabilty this has been an ongoing legal process for 3 years with no end in sight.

OK, so since you are not denying it, I will go ahead and assume this is Charles.

You said: "People, think people with disabilties shouldn't be entitle to anything or have anything except from the lowest bidder"

Well, I know I didn't say anything to this affect, although I'm sure there are others who may feel this way.

But my question is, if your dream was to become a truck driver, and Swift was willing to accept you into their training program, why didn't you do that? Truck drivers make more than minimum wage, and if this was what you have always wanted to do, it couldn't be considered a "crap job". Does your disability prevent you from taking a trucking job?

Oh, but wait! This is all George W Bush's fault, right? Not to mention all the abuse you have suffered at the hands of Henry Mann, Tom McKeever, the EEOC, Global Personal, State Farm and the drivers of Columbus Georgia.

I, am not leaching off anything if you'er not in my shoes don't comment, I have a legiment disabilite & I have medical records to prove It I am entitled to these benefits social security refused to consider all my benefits got my records wrong to mess my case up!, & they are trying their hardest to mess my case up!. I, want to work but with my disabilty that I have had all my life is preventing me from working I do not want to work @ some job making $5.25 or work in some grocery store all my life or digging holes for a living or work in some crap dump which I refuse to work @ which is where they people with disabilties work @. Just, because we have disabilites doesn't mean we have to work @ an unhealthy enviroment or be mistreated we deserve to work in a clean enviroment & a safe enviroment!, not some dump for people to abuse me!. I, will not work in an unkepted eniroment or digging holes! in 90 degree weather I am willing to risk my reputation to get my point across, I am willing to have my life ruin! but that Is the price you pay when you speak out & I can live with that!. I, knew social security was going to rule unfavorably to me I, would like to know what is going on with this system! I already knew that I would get persucation & negative comments to my report!. People, think people with disabilties shouldn't be entitle to anything or have anything except from the lowest bidder, well ya'll need to be put in our shoes & see how diffuclt life is for us you wouldn't be so laughing then!, I have been done like this all my life! just because you have a disabilty don't mean you have to live in a dumping garbage place!, or work digging holes treating us like prisoners is bascially how we are being treated! not being able to work in a healthy kepted enviroment!.

I, new I would get this negative feed back, everyone feels people shouldn't get social security but It isn't up to them or any kind of government help I do have a legit disability & I have medical records to prove It but the judge failed to look @ him they say I can do basic things so I am not entitled to receieve social security benefits.

The, judge thinks I can sit & answer questions & the vocational expert says I can answer them properly then I can work! the vocational experts on the judges side statements are not creditable they are just giving me a hard time!, because they have the power to do this to people!. I, have medical records to back my statements up I knew the judge was going to rule unfavorably towards me because he didn't have all my records!, but I do not have to explain my whole life story on this website to convince people I am telling the truth.

It seems to me with all of the effort and time involved with fighting for the SSI you are actually proving that you in fact CAN work.

Dealing with courts are far more stressful than any job I have ever had. Not to mention the physical aspect of going to offices to file paperwork, going to the courts for the hearings etc.

You may in fact have a legit disability, we don't know for sure, just what you have said. I do however know for a fact that there are many people with extreme disabilities in the town I work in that are holding down FULLTIME employment. They are very happy to be able to contribute to society rather than leach off it.

Charles,

Is this you? It certainly seems like your writing style. I can understand the want for you to be anonymous on this report. You have so ruined your name on the other reports that you know you won't get any positive responses to this report.

But you know what Charles? We are not stupid. And didn't you say at one time that you were accepted by Swift to enter their truck driver training program, but you turned them down? So what you are saying is that you would rather have us hardworking taxpayers pay to support you on SSI than to go out and find a job you would be qualified for, even if you have a disability. There is a such thing as the Americans with Disabilities Act.

If this is not Charles (and you will have a very hard time convincing me that you are not), then I apologize. But my gut tells me no apology is necessary here.

I knew people wouldn't understand, It don't matter if i know the basic of small things but it don't mean I can work social security I knew I would get people who don't agree with me, social security doesn't understand they refues to understand they say I know how to do basic stuff so i am not entitled to benefits. I, will keep appealing this decision no matter how long it is social security does this to everybody with my condition, social security refuses to listen to me they think they are right & will not listen to reason. Their, was another case a person who had my same condition who could understand the normal basics him & his parents struggled for 3 years & finally got awarded his benefits back just like my situation. So you see, how social security treats people they think you able to do the basics you are not disabled anymore, this is not true. I, am currently suffering from manic depression & anxiety & I have problems dealing with stress which social security agrees I would have problems dealing with stress on the job but then turns around & says I am able to work, with my condition it is hard for me to deal with stress. Some, people can deal with stress & some can''t which would make them unable to work & I have medical evidence to prove this. I, have filed a new claim for social security & I am once again appealing the judges decision which I knew his decision was going to be unfavorable, he had doctors look @ my records who I have never seen make judgements saying I am able to work his doctors statements are not creditable their job is to deny people their social security, their job is easy all they have to do is sit all day denying peoples social security even with people have medical evidence to prove their condition.

If you found your way to this site, can type up a report, plus a follow-up to your original report, you are able to work. You might not get a job making $50,000 a year, but you obviously can understand basic tasks. You are 24 - a lot of 24 year olds get entry level jobs. Employers are not allowed to discriminate on account of a disability of the employee can do the job requested.

Go to the Employment Development Department (or equivalent) in your state and see what they can do for you. If you are living with your parents, I don't think they will let you starve to death.

This problem with social security has been prolonged for more then 3 years the social security adminstration does not understand my condition, they just refuse to their job is to take these benefits away from has many people has they can who really need them. I, need these benefits to survie on I am not capable of making a living on my own & my records proved this the judge was unfair towards me did not look @ all the evidence in my case.

I, feel angered by the way the judge treated me didn't consider all my evidence & has cause more prolonged process people should be able to sue social security for damanges for being disabled & denying peoples social security.

I, am looking to be persecuted from people I have been threw alot these past 3 years & the social security does not care their job is easy all they get do to all day is deny peoples social security & make them homeless!.

Sounds an awful lot like Chuck without the "phenix city" locale.

The social security adminstration, denies the benefits to the people who really need them who are still disabled when social security says they are not disabled anymore like in my situation!, this has been ongoing threw 3 years the judge was not fair on my part did not consider all my evidence they are doing this to everybody who has the 22q deletion they don't understand it or social securtiy refuses to understand it because they do not care if we starve!. Nobody, should go hungry or without clothes or a place to live i am doing all the appealing that i can!, don't except any kind of fairness from the law judge he doesn't care about anybody or their disabilty, he has a good job & get paid with high income all he has to do is deny everybody that he can to get people of SSI benefits, & make them homeless & ruin their life. I, reported to this website how unfair the social security adminstration about how unfair they are treating me I am having difficulties in finding an attorney this is a sad situation i am in I do not know how i can go on without this money!, & the social security adminstration does not even care I have done everything I can do I have appealed everything. The administrative law judge ruled agaisnt me so I have know appealed it to the appeals counsel so between july threw november I will not receive my benefits, so it the appeals counsel rules in favor of me i could recieve the 6 months of my SSI payments in one lump sum, I have family helping me but i cannot pay them the money back that they sent me this is really a sad situation for me right know, I hope & pray I will have better luck with the appeals counsel with my new evidence that i have so i can get my life back in order. This, has put my life in a hault! so if anyone has any advice or is in a similar situation please fill free to respond because i could use any good advice, in this sad situation I am in right know!, I will update this report if i have been awarded my benefits back in the next view months.
