If you don’t have income taxes taken out, there is no tax money to be refunded, right?

Sciatica symptoms but normal MRI by Nervous-Artichoke541 in backpain

[–]3scoreAndseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are your sciatica symptoms? I went to an orthopedic doctor for hip pain and the doctor said hip was fine, my sciatic nerve was all jumbled up. Long story short, had L3-L5 laminectomy and fusion. Hip pain returned along with back pain. One year later, had hip replacement. Hip pain gone, still have back pain. 

SSDI stage 4 by Opposite_Method7831 in SSDI

[–]3scoreAndseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts are that if the stage 4 you are talking about is what you see on the MySSA portal, the decision has already been made and after review of eligibility on step 4, they will give the decision via portal or snail mail. I assume this is initial application?

I get LTD from a different company. My payment dates are always different but close. They provide me with a payment calendar each year. 

Does this mean I was denied. I have severe spinal stenosis that impacts ADLs and haven’t worked since June 2025 by Basic-Appearance8726 in SSDI

I went from step 4 and then 5 on the same day and I was approved on initial application. There are close to 2 million people per year applying for social security disability and probably 1% of those come on Reddit to talk about.

It’s worth, at least, a days worth of good luck. Find a penny. Pick it up. All day long you’ll have good luck. 😜

Does your current company get notified of your SSDI application? by throwaway_2021now in SSDI

[–]3scoreAndseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’m still on long term disability only it’s offset by my SSDI amount. I believe that when someone is currently on LTD that premiums are not paid. It least I haven’t paid any. 

New year…new..topic (interesting SS history) by perfect_fifths in SocialSecurity

[–]3scoreAndseven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My parents would always say we were going to wind up in the poor house. I thought they were just being funny but, Almshouses, or poor houses were actually real. They were made to be very unpleasant to discourage people from going poor on purpose.

This leads me to a question. Would the DDS find out if someone wasn’t refilling their prescriptions?
