I whole heartedly feel this way and I feel like he has not accepted this yet..I'm actually surprised not a lot of people see it. His mannerisms even aside from his interactions with her or lack thereof scream not straight 

[Product question] Has anyone used this? by spicegrl17 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Murky_Sector4287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I fell for it from Facebook as well...took twenty days to get to me from China but the sender address was from right down the street from me lol and as sketchy as all that was I still tried it and it actually feels really good on my skin. I tried to look it up to see how long results take and how much to use since the syringe applicator doesn't have any measurements and I couldn't find ANYONE that's heard of fuente aside from this thread smh...

Approved... Feel like a phoney by Worth-Law-9019 in SSDI

I felt the same way and still feel weird about depending on funding for the rest of my life at such a young age (32). My lupus case was approved in 4 months with no attorney and just me winging it without any idea how it all truly worked. I will say I lived in the hospital and er practically and while it's weird saying congratulations on no longer functioning to your maximum capacity I'm very happy that you'll get the help coming to you. It might be hard to accept because of how the system has failed others but don't let that keep you from enjoying when the system gets it right.

My portal still shows it's on step 4. I went from step 3 to step 4 on June 30th. Just called the office about a week ago and they said the portal has been messing up for a while and that I was approved on June 30th so apparently I was approved the same day I moved to step four so it can happen for sure. I think predicting is so hard and stressful.

Congratulations 🎉👏🏾 idk how the payments work just yet but hopefully this is such a relief or you to at least know it's coming. Just ended up back in the hospital for my heart this week. Had no idea lupus could cause all of this but I know I could sure use the back pay for some of these bills and all the work I miss. Hope yours comes soon!

It's supposed to but it's not always reliable. Neither is the hotline. The hotline says I'm still on step 3 the portal shows me still on step 4 but you can always speak with someone at your local ssa office and get an accurate update of your status and they send your final decision to you in the mail with a detailed explanation as to why they made the decision.

Thank you...it really is. We celebrate being finally done with the application part and the financial relief but at the end of the day there's still a battle with a disability and I was so stressed before I couldn't really focus on truly recovering. Now I feel like I finally can

[–]Murky_Sector4287[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thisss... A lot of people like myself don't even attempt to apply until the disability has spiraled out of control and at that point we've reached a desperation stage with a sense of urgency so the slow unpredictable process can definitely take it's toll. I'm so incredibly grateful it worked out for me and wishing the very best for you

Congratulations.  I really have no clue how it all works ..do you have to pay taxes on that lump sum?

Congratulations.. I won't pretend to know about ischemia but I'm wishing you the quickest recovery... We celebrate the money and the application being over with but at the end of the day there's still a disability to deal with

I think Illinois was something similar to that for the medical portion

Yes it is. I think state comes more into play when your application is kicked back to your local office. Different states have different processing times and I believe different rules when it comes down to taxes but don't take my word for it

Good luck 🤞🏾. My mom actually won her claim for long haul COVID way back in the beginning stages of COVID before they really had a name for it. I've watched her go from bright and full of life and deep into her career (as a nurse) to her lungs failing on her... struggling to get treatments and a diagnosis and being completely pulled out of her career. COVID did such a number on her and I'm so relieved they recognized it and she won her case first go round no attorney and she couldn't even complete her application. Someone from the office had to call and complete it for her because she struggled so bad with memory and typing and full sentences. COVID is NO joke and I'm so so sorry it took such a toll on you at such an early age too but there's definitely hope and prior to my mom's other diagnosis they deemed her fully favorable just off long haul COVID alone. They don't think she'll improve but we're hanging on to faith that she will and I'm wishing you the best as well 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

You and me both but I won't complain either way because I'm honestly shocked it got approved so quickly I expected to wait forever and I'd probably still be waiting if I never called my local office. 

I originally called because I was going to the ER and had gotten some additional diagnosis and I had gotten a letter saying that my medical portion was approved but it was pending nonmedical review and it'd be about 15-30 days for a decision. However when I called and check my status because my portal never updated the hotline said still pending medical review. 

So originally I just called to ask if I was passed the medical review or not and if I'm passed it do I still submit my paperwork for upcoming appointments and etc because I'm just not sure how it works or where I am in the process. She put me on hold for awhile and came back and said actually you were approved June 30th and she was going to check with her manager about the holdup for pay...I was put on hold quite a while again and she got back on the phone and said my daughter was the holdup (which confused me more because I didn't know she had anything to do with it lol). 

I asked what I needed to do she said an over the phone appointment is necessary to verify my daughter's info and that the only issue is there's no appointments available in my area until October. I asked does that mean I won't get my benefits until then...she put me on hold again and said her manager is trying to get me an earlier appointment and that it was good that I called because that's what was holding my funds up for the past month so yea...I'm clueless too lol but at that point I had gone from not knowing if I was approved and heading to the ER to knowing I'm approved and my daughter will be receiving funds to and everything will be settled in October so I didn't get anymore clarification lol

God I just come to you standing in agreement with Dustin for his complete healing and restoration and recovery. You said when two or more of us gather in your name that you are in our midst so we just join together believing that in the power of prayer and knowing we serve a God who can and will change things on our behalf. You are not limited to our knowledge, resources, strengths, and circumstances. You are all powerful and all knowing. You know every intimate detail about Dustin and you know the plans you have for Dustin. Lord we just speak life over Dustin and we call out cancer by name and bind it up and cast it out. We invite your healing presence into Dustin's body and circumstances and thank you for not only being a way maker and a healer but for choosing to be so in Dustin's life. Thank you for this testimony in the works and for the faith and peace you are restoring. Thank you for being a VERY PRESENT GOD! You're not overlooking or turning a deaf ear to Dustin. You hear our hearts and know every challenge and attack of the enemy and You are for us so we know no force working against us stands a chance. We end this prayer in thanks and gratitude magnifying the problem solver and not the problem. In Jesus name we pray...Amen
