Hi Susan, I have applied to Social Security Disability and have been
turned down twice even though my doctor wrote a letter stating "she
continues to suffer chronic pelvic and abdominal pain as a result of
chronic recurrent adhesions.She has failed to respond to multiple
therapies in an attempt to ameliorate her problems. She remains
permanently disabled." I have requested a hearing and will retain a SSD
Benefits Consultant. Due to the fact that I have worked for 25 yrs. and
have paid into the disability program, I feel I should try to collect on
the money I paid into the program. It is very hard to deal with a
chronic condition and have to fight for what is rightfully yours. I
will keep you posted. Sherry
