I just received my letter from my hearing and I WON! After 2 denials and 3 years and 4 months I finally won! I want to thank you Mr. Ginsberg for all your help from these very informative videos!
Thanks so much! I'm a nurse who has volunteered to help two very sick people through the SSDI paperwork. I've never done this before, therefore your advice is priceless to me. You are doing a lot of good in this world by educating vulnerable people.
I’m so nervous about going to my hearing cuz I like to babble and stray away from the questions asked but I’m confident I can answer the questions truthfully and tell the judge that I’m in tremendous pain everyday but I am going to my pain management doctors.. physical as well as my therapist to control my mental health and I have good days and bad then I gave really bad days when I’m screaming in pain and my anxiety and depression get out of hand and I’m screaming at ppl on phone or online or wherever. I’d love to go back to work but my disabilities are too much for me to handle a new job right now. So hope judge gives me benefit of doubt and grants my approval if not I’m going to even more depressed and with my finances almost at 0 I dunno how I’m goin v to live or pay for my utilities. My parents pay for my house and some utilities I just pay cable and internet which is essential to me ( Internet is to stay in contact with my doctors and family
Mr Ginsberg I have learned so much watching so many of all your so informative videos. I have already been denied twice and I am just waiting on court date preparing for it all watching your videos. You are by far the most informative attorney I have seen making disability videos, I wish my attorney was you, but hopefully he will be comparable.Thank you so much!!
In my hearing I had so much anxiety, I couldn't stop crying the first 5 minutes. All I can remember is the vocational expert only named 3 hypothetical jobs. The Judge Cross Examined Her & Asked Her Would these 3 jobs allow me to miss 2-3 days a month due to my mental ILLNESSES, therapy, doctors visits etc, the Voc. Exp. Said NO. He then asked my lawyer if she had any questions and she said no, that the judge asked the question she was going to ask. I am still waiting to hear from the Judge. I have been through foster care, group homes & mental hospitals since I was 2. Bipolar Affective Disorder Rapid Cycling, Schizoaffective Disorder- Bipolar Type, Ptsd, Social Anxiety Disorder.
LOVER OF YHVH 420 usually in situations like yours if the judge only asked a single questioning asking to V.E about work limits and that was it it is good. Same thing in mine was I got named two jobs and the judge cross examined asking could I hold a job if I worked 15% slower and the V.E said no job will allow that and that was all she asked. My disability case was won and I'm 32 but worked 15 years so my checks are more than most people. Good luck!
Johnathan I have a question From my understanding the new judges are trained by the agency they act as ''BOTH'' prosecutor and judge. How can anyone truly have a fair and unbiased hearing?
SSA is an agency so technically the judges represent the Commissioner of Social Security. They are supposed to act as fact finders and not be adversarial. Most understand this but, unfortunately, a few do not.
I just had my hearing three days ago. It felt good being honest and not trying to milk my pain. my judge was very receptive, either way it goes I feel good about it. I had an RFC but I also did a vocational assessment to see what type of jobs I could do but it came back stating my physical limitations makes rehabilitation impossible. anyway thanks for the videos, I represented myself, It wasn't my best day but I'm good for a few hours before my body shuts down. The judge smiled.
I received an unfavorable decision from alj. Stating that all 4 physicians that treat me and filled out rfc forms stating that my functional capacity is sedentary. ALJ stated that all 4 doctors were unpersuasive. Yet the 2 doctors from ssa that never saw me were persuasive. My 4 doctors are spine surgeon, family doctor, pain management doctor and a psychologist. Can you advise if I should appeal at the counsel level? Please advise I am 53 yrs old with non-transferable skills. Thank you.
I've never met a doctor who's treating you who is willing to say you're disabled and will help you get on disability. Not unless you're in a coma or on your death bed. The most recent one I asked to fill out an RFC said he works to get people off disability, not on it. And they'll fill them out for temporary issues but since my condition is permanent he doesn't want me to be on disability indefinitely because they look at it as a bad thing. I guess to them I'm just supposed to magically survive without any money
This is an issue frequently. I advise my clients to approach their doctors carefully and to explain that they are seeking disability for only as long as it takes to get better and return to work.
I have applied for disability 2times and I am waiting on my hearing. I have Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Anxiety, depression and PTSD. None it that can be proven from any tests. I see my Dr on regular visits but I don't go every time I have a flare or get so depressed I can't get out of bed. I feel like getting my disability hopeless.
FMS, chronic fatigue and the other "invisible illnesses" are a challenge at SSA these days but not impossible. If you have very strong medical support and other evidence supporting your claim for disability you can still win.
I know the feeling..I have Bipolar 1, PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, Panic Disorder, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Osteoarthritis all over, chronic cluster headaches, bilateral carpal tunnel, back and neck problems .I have been fighting to get my ssi for 10 years now and I am going to my 3rd hearing tomorrow..I keep getting these angry nasty judges and I am beyond livid..Im not gonna give up and you shouldnt either..Good Luck
I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, depressive disorder, and ataxia. I have record of emergency visits but not constant because I don't have health care. My first time being admitted to mental health for 30 days in 88. I have tried work, school and have failed over and over. I have been denied 3 times. I am filing a new claim and not sure what to expect. Thank you for all of the information you are putting put🙏
I spoke with you a few months back. I have been listening to radio shows about people on ss that are not qualified, but receiving ss. My brother is receiving ss. He had hip surgery and is limited to 10 lbs of lifting, but he is not totally disabled.
Danielle Garrison s.s is welfare, ssdi is not it is looked at how much you have worked and paid in to disability. Your brother isn't mentally disabled just physical which is why he would be on welfare.
I will be having my second hearing with the same judge, the appeals council sent it back. What will the judge be looking at this time? Everything or the reason it was sent back? I feel like I don't have a chance with this judge, his approval percentage is low and now he'll be aggravated his decision was sent back from the appeals council.
You mentioned grid rules for those aged 59 to 62. Do these people require the medical records you refer to? This is in reference to being too old to be retrained after a lifetime of one particular job or face age discrimination due to cost of older employee for insurance benefits.
My job expert in my case said I could be a janitor or floor cleaner but that I would get fired if I was late or left early and would also never would be able to compete or move up n the company .is that still a loss
Excellent video and very informative. I have a question I hope you will answer. Does the grid rule argument have to be asked to be used by an attorney or will the ALJ automatically consider using it when a claimant is in his upper 50's? The reason I ask is my friend is a perfect candidate for that rule but his lawyer never brought it up. Also thank you for the free survival kit.
Since subscribing to your channel I thought I watched all of your video's but apparently missed one from a year ago where I just saw a comment identical to mine. I read your response to the question and unless anything has changed in that years time I would suppose I have my answer. Thank you for all the great information you give to everyone.
I am still currently working self employed Below gainful activity after Business expense am on SSII have enough credits for disability now my hearing is next month could they make me pay back Previous SI payments if they find me not disabled anymore from the date of my application 3 years ago
Do you think I won my case. I had my hearing on the 22nd of June. And it’s now being reviewed by the judge. I’m trying to win my case because I have severe anxiety and depression all my life I’m 19years old and I have tons and tons of doctors visits and notes from them saying I’m very sensitive to antidepressants so I’m constantly switching medicines. I call off work most days and since my hearing I haven’t worked since because my anxiety is getting worse. I’ve also had an IEP my whole life and I save selective mutism. And when she asked if there was any jobs available for someone like me the one lady told her yes to 3 of the questions but the very last one she said no. The guy who represented my case called me the other day and said my chances of winning my case right now is 50/50. Is that a good sign or should I just assume I didn’t win my case.

Amazing Content!!
I have Crohns disease but no insurance to see a specialist.. medical records have a gap due to no medical insurance, will that hurt me?

Good information.Thanks !

Have you heard back yet?
hello. If the vocational expert says I can work will that mean an automatic denial for ssdi?
Yes
No
I work for 1 job 22 1/2 years but had other jobs as my part time jobs how would that impact my case
Hello Mr Ginsberg my name is Antwan i have a schizophrenia dis order and I have a hearing over the phone August 13 2020 i want to respond with a video tell me what you think i have medical records
What kind if cost is incurred in hiring a lawyer for a SSDI case
Chris the lawyer can get up to 25% but no more than $6000
They usually charge 5000
do all cases go to court hearing or can a case be approved without a court hearing. age 62
File for your early social security, you are at a age where you can receive. Not worth waiting on disability
I have an amputated left foot and an amputated 2 nd toe. Are these things good quailifications for disability?
It depends on how these conditions impact your capacity for work, and in particular a simple, entry-level, sit-down type of job.
I’m also 50 years old and never had a sit down job.
Thx for the video!
@Social Security Disability videos - Mr. Johnathan does anyone ever win cases on a rare tumor called Pheochromocytom tumors? High blood pressure, heart rate, sweating, tremors, anxiety, head aches, diarrhea ect?
Teresa Hollenbeck any true proof of Any cancer expecting to progress in more than 12 months or death is awarded.
Chronic pain fibromyalgia, long term medicine chronic kidney disease an failure, chronic kidney stones creating issues sucj as pain. Frequently urination. Unable to pee in daily issues. I was diagnosed with rhutomiaid arthritis. Birn with nerve issues, scoliosis wore brace 15 years which unfortunate created smaller organs. I was also with thyroid issues that created over acted cslicum productions. .i miss working. I miss my clirnts i miss making my ownnmoney. I jut wantvto get better. I wantbbetter health care somi cam get outside sources
I’m guessing depression and fibromyalgia doesn’t qualify.. ):
It is very difficult to win with those conditions. Not impossible but very difficult.
