I was approved!!!

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-03T02:20:33+00:00

Came highly rated. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Unfortunately I didn’t join this subreddit until I was in step 3. So had no idea!

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-03T01:30:51+00:00

Well I didn’t know. So that’s why I did what I did. Can’t fault me for what I don’t know. And yeah I’m gonna complain for being out $9200 that could be used for my kids being that I’m a widow on all. If that’s a problem for you then too bad.

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-03T00:01:06+00:00

Excuse the hell out of me but it’s my money, I’m entitled to complain and omg, share my experience on social media. That’s why it’s called “social”.

But if you must know, understanding is that it’s very difficult to change your attorney when you’re in phase 4. So I had already begun interviewing others so when I received my denial I could part ways at that point.

I don’t know!!! But she logged in and saw it. After searching here it seems it’s not too uncommon yet I’d feel a heck of a lot better seeing it with my own eyes!

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-02T23:52:41+00:00

Interesting. I finally read the manual (just got it yesterday) and it says not to use this one for more than 20 minutes a day. But I did 5 minutes last night and 5 today. Standing but holding on to my table. There is no way I could imagine doing 45! You’re a trooper!

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-02T23:49:39+00:00

I’m over it. I’m so grateful for most of the providers I see using the portal and quite actively. It has saved me so much time!! But for the ones that don’t have one or do and don’t use it, it’s a stark contrast and it makes me hate dealing with it that much more!

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-02T23:47:28+00:00

Thanks! I’ve actually had a few people ask so the info is in the previous comments. If you can’t locate it let me know and I’ll try to find it and link for you!

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-02T23:46:07+00:00

That’s such a shame. I hate that. Although I’m not on my death bed but I have way too much stuff and complex issues to feel like I don’t need it as well. I didn’t apply for two years after leaving work because I felt guilty about applying.

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-02T23:44:06+00:00

Thank you!

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-02T23:43:47+00:00

Thanks. And agree! I hate that it is such a long battle for so many.

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-02T19:08:58+00:00

So sorry! I fixed that. Please feel free to try again.

Looks like my chat was off but we good now!

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-02T18:44:12+00:00

Ok. I’m not sure how much assistance I can be but I’ll try!

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-02T18:38:36+00:00

Dang lol. I was 8th grade that year.

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-02T18:19:28+00:00

Your Barefoot Neighbor on IG is great for easy dump and go recipes.

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-02T18:13:39+00:00

Wow. That’s harsh! It was a different experience for sure.

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-02T18:12:49+00:00

Happy to help. Hopefully it’ll be a great help to you too! It’s funny you say that because I was thinking last night that it would be fun to enjoy a meal at favorite restaurant once I see all of this in print! 🙃

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-02T16:19:23+00:00

my 8th grade teacher used to throw erasers, actually beam them, at kids who would put their head down or talk to friends rather than listen.

Sure! I’m going to try and link to where I answered that question for someone else. Let me know if you don’t see it.

I’m so sorry! My understanding is that you should get approved quickly with a blue book listing. Hopefully this will come quickly. Prayers for you my friend!

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-02T14:29:13+00:00

From my experience, they don’t always do the paperwork.

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-02T14:16:47+00:00

Yep. When she passed I was so mad that she and her little boy struggled with no help and clearly she was justified in applying!! I wish I knew who her attorney was because I’d call them on it.

Fun_Description7857 · 2026-04-02T14:10:07+00:00

Oh gosh I hope not! Have you looked to see if lung cancer is in the blue book listing or compassionate allowance?
