Denied - Disabilities Message Board

I recieved my letter yesterday and they denied me.

It says that my conditions my limit my activities., but they arn't severe enough to become disabled at this time.

Based on my age and my education I can do some type of work.

I do have a ssi app tomorrow, now I am wondering if I should even go or not, I have thought about waiting on this and drawing out my unemployment and see If I can find a different job I can do and If I can't, Apply again, I am still having treatments I have one this coming Monday, They are burning root tips in facet joints,

Any Ideas would be appricated.

Hello....Was that your first time apply and your first denial? Even so, keep appealing...Do not re-file, but appeal...Most everyone is denied the first and second time applying...Keep going...AND yes go to your appointment....

Yes it was my first time to apply, I applied back in October, filed for ssi but got turned down because of retirement money, I got it out and spent it down paying of cc and other stuff,

Sounds like you were entitled to SSDI instead of SSI. Suggest that you review the SSD website:

Good luck!

I agree. though SSD is also a waiting game SSI has much higher criteria for an approval and you can have no more than $2000. SSD doesn't have anything to do with owning a home or money in the bank.
