I am being sent to disabilty drs. and wanted to know if this is a good or bad sign in the process?
IT WAS JUNE O5 WHEN I DECIDED I COULDNT WORK NO MORE AND I IMMEDIATELY SIGNED UP FOR DISABILITY... IT TOOK ALMOST 6 MONTHS FOR THEM TO DENY ME FOR THE FIRST TIME. I THEN WENT AND GOT A LAWYER AND WE REAPPLIED AND WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OR SO I WAS DENIED AGAIN. THEN I WAS ABLE TO REQUEST FOR A HEARING TO GO IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE AND THEN HE WOULD DECIDE IT I WAS TO RECIEVE MY DISABILITY OR NOT ... WHICH HE APPROVED ME. BUT IT TOOK 3 YEARS TO DO ALL OF THAT. THE HEARING IS WHAT TOOK THE LONGEST. HERE IN OHIO THEY ARE SO BACKED UP BECAUSE OF SO MANY PEOPLE APPLYING THAT I HAD TO HAVE A JUDGE COME FROM SOUTH CAROLINA AND WE MET IN PARKERSBURG , WVA.'
I HAD TO GO TO A SOC. SEC. DOCTOR THE 2ND. TIME I APPLIED.. AND LIKE I SAID I GOT DENIED AND HE WAS THE FIRST DOCTOR THAT TOLD ME THAT I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA..FIGURE THAT ONE., BUT AFTER THAT I STARTED HAVING ALLOT OF OTHER PROBLEMS ANDBY THE TIME MY HEARING CAMEUP I WAS ON HEAVY PAIN MEDICATION AND HAVE CONG. HEART FAILURE, COPD, DIABETES, CFS, RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME, SWELLING CLEAR UP TO MY STOMACH, DEPRESSION AND THE LIST GOES ON I WAS EVEN IN RIVERSIDE HOSPITAL IN COLUMBUS OHIO WITH PULM. EMBL. I HAD SEVERAL CLOTS THAT WENT TO MY LUNGS 4 OF THEM TO BE EXACT. THANK GOD THAT IM STILL HERE. SOC. SEC IS VERY HARD TO GET. BUT U MUST KEEP TRYING. WELL IF YOUR LIKE ME I HAD NO CHOICE I KNEW I COULDNT GO BACK TO WORK SO I HAD NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT FIGHT FOR IT,
GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE U GET IT

Did you have to go to the SS Drs. before you got approved or did you get a denial? If so how many times did they turn you down? Thanks for answering my question.
IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT THEY SAY I GUESS... BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE ON THE SOC. SEC. SIDE. I FOUGHT AND FOUGHT WITH THESE PEOPLE AND IT REALLY GETS AGGRAVATING BUT DONT GIVE UP ... KEEP FIGHTING THEM ..
