Crap

[gridlore]

Last night we got a letter from SSA.

My disability claim has been denied. Evidently, having severe epilepsy doesn't qualify. So now we have to consider appealing the decision.

This really pisses me off. I'd love to have one of the people who made this decision live in my body for a week.

Someone at alt.support.arthritis estimates that 90% of disability requests are denied the first time around. I'm not sure where the data came from, but I'd guess it's close to accurate. The good news is that if you keep applying, when it's approved you'll be paid retroactive to your first application.

Of course, that means wading through one hell of a lot of paper and red tape.

*nods* I think it's standard, not personal. Just look at it from a gamer's view *wince* you just have to jump through some hoops to achieve the quest.

You can do it.
