You know, it just so nice to see how people can shoot down anything and everything someone says regardless of what they have been going through!! In my last response to this post I told only what had been happening to me, and I will say again, everybody is different in every way!!!! I know for a fact that the Social Security people here in Florida have been denying me for over 3 1/2 years now and I just had to hire a lawyer!!! Now, some places are different I agree, but I based my post on MY experience!!!!!! Which in this case Social Security DID NOT do their job!!!! When requesting my medical records, they DID NOT request ANYTHING from ANY of my 16 surgeries!!! Nor did the ever request anything from any of my 6 Doctor's!!!!! That is why I had to hire a lawyer!!!! I just didn't want to see anyone else have to go through the crap I did and am STILL going through to get what they are entitled to!!! I don't take kindly to being made out to sound like a fruit cake that doesn't know what shes talking about, because I will tell you all right now,,, I DO KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!!!!! As with anything,,, everybody is different and every Social Security office handles cases differently!!! I was told 3 years ago when I first filed for SSI & SSD that #1 I was to young, #2 My condition was not "life threatening" and #3 that I had to be denied 3 times { which is not true}!! I just didn't want to see this person have to endure the hell I have been through and am STILL going through with Social Security!!!! And as for exercise,,, ask your Doctor if you don't believe me!!! Again,,, everyone is different and so are Doctor's so I suggest you ask your Doctor!!! Everybody on this site has their own opinions of which they are entitled to,,,, but that does not give them the right to judge or to degrade another persons opinions,,,, most of these people are only speaking from their experiences just like myself!!!! And again,,, what happens to one person may not happen to another,,, keep that in mind when your reading this message board,,, if you have real questions,,, I suggest you take them to your Doctor!!!!

>Having worked for the Social Security Administration and having been disabled twice myself, I can tell you that there is absolutely no reason to hire an attorney until you have been denied twice. The attorney is not involved in your claim, other then perhaps helping you fill out forms, until you reach the hearings level which is after you have been denied twice....the initial claim and the reconsideration. It is only at the hearings level that you and your attorney will argue your claim in front of the administrative law judge. It is possible to get disability based on adhesions, but so much depends on how you complete the papers and exactly how your doctor phrases his answers to them. Everything must be extremely specific and not subjective. I, myself, have written the letters for the doctors (for both Social Security disability and VA disability) and brought them in for their signatures. They have gladly signed them each and every time and at the same time they said what needed to be said and it was said correctly. If you have any questions let me know.
