wish me luck please

Hi Everyone, I will be having my ssdi over the phone interveiw tomorrow at 11:00am pt. I wish I knew last month what I know this month I would have had an in office interview and had Mom drive me there. At this point in time I am not doing much driving. I am just to afraid I might have an accident. My medication just makes me to dizzy to be behind the wheel. I am sure there are some of you out there that feel the same way.

Anyway, I hope this interview goes well and that I don't have to jump through too many hoops before I am approved. I know it can take a while but I have a lot of time on my hands nowdays.
Not that I wouldn't like to be as busy as I was ..say this time last year. But that isn't likely.

I hope you are all having pain free days.
I have asked for pointers or words of wisdom but haven't had much feedback. Maybe that is a good sign.

What is it that you know this month? Is the in office interview better?

[sleepyangel30]

i had my interview over the phone back in 2001, this was before ic ever kicked in. i was so suprised that i was finally approved.

[Dixiefireball]

i done my over the phone also. I find it easier talking to people on the phone or on line I don't know why but I do. I hope all goes well.
all she or he is going to do tomorrow is ask you question about your health about your daily life, birthdays of you huband or children s.s.n. address things like that. tomorrow isnt a big deal and they would do the same thing in the office. this way you dont have to go wait for them to call your name your at home if you need to go to the restroom.
I hope all goes well for you let us know
sending you hugs and prayers

Yes, I would have gone to the office. And my lawyer thought it would have been best too. But I didn't think it would be any different. Will see. Got to get off there they will be calling in an hour and 15 minutes.

I have been thinking of trying to file. But I have no idea how to start the process. How did it go for you Today. Have you been working at this a long time? Hope all went well!

[gypsyjoy]

Everything went fine today it took about 10 minutes she asked a few questions about when I became disabled and said that she was also having me apply fro ssi because I have no incaome at all.
That is about it. I will be recieving a bunch of paperwork in the mail and we start the process for filing.
Thanks for your will wishes everyone I will keep everyone updated on the on going process of applying.

I wish you much luck and then some...............i too have applied for disability and SSI or they said it was in there together rather.
I am being sent to a chiropractor in june........because they said i need another examination.........i have no idea why a chiro but i will do whatever they want if it will get me some disabilty since i am no unable to work because of the IC.........so keep praying for me also..........let us know how it goes and if you get approved......

Just thought I would up date everyone on the application process.
It is still on going. I am now having to fill out daily activities and work history, I already gave them work history and what I did on each job. But I guess they want to read it again. I have until Saturday to have it back to them. They also want a family member fill out my daily activites. Wish me luck this is starting to get old and I can get anymore poor than I already am.

I'm glad things went well.

[gloriabono68]

I so totally understand...........i too am in the position of not getting any pooerer than i already am.....already its a struggle to make ends meet. Other wise i will have to move in with my parents and i just don't wanna do that just yet. My daughters 16th birthday is coming up in july (22nd) and she will be so disappointed because there won't be a party and probably won't even be cake unless her grandparents get her a cake. It takes every penny of the 49.85 cent a week i get in child support just to keep the roof over her head.
and the disability people keep giving me the run around to all these doctors that know nothing about IC much less how to say it .......the last one i saw was calling it something other than what it is......chronic cystitis.........that is a completley different condition ya know.......its weird.......and now they are sending me yet again to another doctor thats over an hour away from here......its like they don't understand that its very hard for me to travel anywhere and i am just so frustrated .......i could understand it better if these doctors were specialists or urologists....someone who knew about this IC stuff.......and then these doctors only talk to me for like twenty minutes or less........i am at a loss as to how they can determine if i am disabled or not........by this kinda visit.
arrrggghhhh!!!
I feel like i am just getting the ole run around and if they run me around enough that i will just give up on my claim.......its like they don't realize that there are all different kinds of disabilities......
I am debating whether or not to write the woman a letter.......thats handling my case.....i don't know if that would make it worse or better......i keep thinking that if maybe she heard from me what it was like it might help in some way......but then it might look like i was making it up or something.....i just don't know what to do.........
I hope things work out for you............i really do................

gloriabono - I know right were you are coming from. I began my wonderful time in November 2002..7 months letter I got my turn down letter then started the appeals process. I am still to this date waiting on a appeal date.

I too was sent to a SS provided DR. The first was a psyc dr and the last was an internal med. dr 1 1/2 hrs from my home. This man knew nothing about IC and like you could not even pronounce it. When I left there I called my husband and stated this guy is going to keep me from getting SSD. Sure enough 5 days later I got my turn down notice.

The main reason the denied me was not even for IC - It said that I did have a weight problem but that has stablized and with medicine should be okay. I have never ever been treated for a weight problem. That man get every thing so messed up. Nothing was mentioned about my IC or anything releated to it.

And they get in no hurry to process any appeals. I asked to go to appeals court and 40 minute drive from my house yet I have to go 2 hours away make any sense.

Best of luck to everyone.

gloriabono68, hi again blueblondie here. i to got to go to another doc.i think now they want to pick my brains.my daughter said they will most likely give me a mmip2 test. she said it was a true or false test. but some can be trickie. about 500-600 of them. i sure dread it. on top of it it's in july. i like you got it bad . we live on $55 a week. thank god for section8.or we would be on the street. it's now been 5 months. i think this should be the last doc.i sure hope so. it's geting me stressed out.one way or another we should know soon. geting ready to get a lawyer.i hate to.25%,exspences from us poor people is unfair.i won't be on the site soon they are cuting our phone off ,cabel. guess we will sit around and stare at the walls, get more stressed out. got to go. i wish you luck on your next doc visit. i will let you know how it went with me if i can.:thumbsup:

[gloriabono68]

I am sorry to hear that............i hope that your appeal will bring you better luck.........maybe you should get a lawyer........theres a few lawyers out here where i work that wont take any money unless you win........
I am just really frustrated with the whole process......i could understand it if they were sending me to doctors that knew something about IC but they arent.......so it makes no sense whatsoever..........and what in the world does your weight have to do with having IC??????? not a thing............
see its just ridiculous...............its like a wild goose chase.........
I hope something works out for you and like i said consider getting a lawyer..........
take care
