| Re: Question about being denied SSD?
SSDI benefits gradually disappear over a 5 year period after stopping work. One earns credits as they work, and it's a 60 month rolling period. You have to prove that your disabling condition started prior to the date the SSDI credits disappeared. After that date, you have no SSDI. However, it sounds like your disability problems have been going on for many years. So if you have doctor records proving you had this problem prior to the date your SSDI credits rolled off (6/30/08), you can still win SSDI. Go ahead and appeal the denial. My suggestion is to contact a lawyer who specializes in social security disability cases, and they'll fill out the form for you if you want. They'll know how to help you get benefits, as long as you have good medical records prior to that June date.
My son had the same problem - he was receiving SSI, and could have gotten DAC on his fathers SSDI benefits, but was denied for DAC. It too, was a date problem. Luckily we had good medical documentation. We had to jump through hoops and use a lawyer, but he finally got his DAC benefits.
Good luck to you!

Question about being denied SSD? 
I went to file my appeal today and found out some stuff. One, my old file was NOT pulled and sent with the application for the SSD so whoever made the decision didn't even know I had a history with them or that I was even currently receiving SSI. (Ummm how do they not k now that I dont understnad as isnt it all in the computer system) but anyway she had my file pulled and it will be sent with the appeal. Also, in ref to the date you were right about that and they also had my work history listed wrong so it was showing I was still at my old job through aug instead of them pulling my pay stubs from my other job and if it works out like she thinks it will that would insure me through 2010. So hopefully this will take care of everything and I will get it approved this time...
