What comes next????

Hello

I filed an initial claim for disability. Then I filled out and returned a huge packet of papers concerning my health, what I can or can not do, etc. I mailed those back this past week.

What happens next? Do I just sit and wait to hear from Disability?

Also, what do I do as I continue to see doctors? Do I need to keep sending in updates?


Thank you for any wisdom here

Re: What comes next????

After i sent my paperwork back, the sent me a letter to see one of their doctors.

Then after I saw their doc a couple weeks later i got my denial letter, then I sent in for my reconsideration, few months later i was approved.
good luck...

They usually get reports from your doctor, but keep seeing them.
But you will prolly need to see theirs next.

Re: What comes next????

Hello Aunt Duci

Thanks for the response.

I figure I would probably be told I would have to see one of their doctors. Thinking a psychiatrist also as depression is included in my claim. I just can't seem to get a handle on the timeframes and stuff like that. What I would like is a list with like #1, #2, #3, etc. Chuckles. What I get instead are long paragraphs in huge packets of paper!

When you sent in for reconsideration, what had changed? Anything? I mean, if I am denied, what the heck could I posibly share with them that I haven't already???

Okay, okay. I am going to stop projecting and just see what happens. I will wait for a letter instructing me to see a doctor.

Hey, thanks for the time to share with me. Much appreciated.

Re: What comes next????

I went to their doc(psychiatrist)and it wasnt very long after I got my letter.

I dont think anything was different from my initial application except time had passed..

I think if would have been off of work longer then I would have gotten it the first time around.
Im not sure, I do know on my first denial letter they didnt even have documets from my main 2 doctors, but from ones i seen years ago.

That ticked me off a little.(ok a lot)

So maybe they got a respnse from my other docs for the reconsideration.

Alot of states I think dont have a reconsideration phase like we do here in Indiana, mine they just went over my initial application, other states thats when you face a judge.

And if i remember correctly, they sent a letter to my therapist first to evaluate me, then i had to see their doctor.
you think i would remember it clearly since it was just a few months ago..lol.

But what I did differently after my denial was PRAY..lol..
and quit worrying.
I asked the Lord to let me receive it in Jan.
And he did. My paperwork says Jan 28th.
I know that may seem crazy, and my family was freaking out becuz i wasnt a nervous wreck, they were doing the worrying for me i guess.

but right when all my funds were gone, i opened my mail and there was my letter of award.
my family was shocked, and i dont think i blinked for a week.
now im waiting on my back pay, only for dec and jan...but its something.

So I dont know exactly what happened, All I do know is I prayed for whoever came in contact with my paperwork that God will open their eyes and see what the last person didnt.

And instead of praying in my head, I got on my knees every night and thanked God for giving it to me, and by the end of the week It was awarded.
I still get on my knees and pray, just to thank him cuz it is such a blessing!

Good Luck to you!

Re: What comes next????

Auntduci

Tonight you have done me a world of good, Friend, and I thank you. I am a believer also and am going to put it right their in God's hands. I have done my part, I have been honest about it and will ask God's presence in what the outcome is. I think the secular, worldly business of it all caught me unaware and led me to easily forget where my real strength lay. He is seen me through things a lot more trying than this for sure.

It is a time of change in my life and disabilty happens to be a part of it. I need to not let the workings of it consume my thoughts, huh?

Okay. Be well. I will post when something does occur.

Until then,
and with hope always
