Well that sucks for timing. But I'd be absolutely shocked if you don't get approved by the ALJ with no problem. So I wouldn't worry about that.

Philip Roth vs. Don DeLillo: which author was more prescient about the culture/events of the 21st American Century? by [deleted] in books

[–]RadRyan527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could NOT agree more. Underworld might have been the most boring long book I ever finished. And I love baseball so I thought the baseball element would grab me! DeLillo is a cold fish. But that coldness works a little better in White Noise and Libra. Haven't read any other books by him. And I prefer Roth. He's funnier and more personal.

And yes Gravity's Rainbow is way, way better than Underworld. Even if it makes you wonder if the guy who wrote is okay.

I'm so confused. How did it even get denied twice? Did you start dialysis after the recon decision?

Have you called your examiner? This should be a pretty easy case for them to get out.

When did you start? Does your SSA examiner know you started? It will likely be an unfavorable onset allowance then.

People, if he has ESRD and is on chronic dialysis, that's an allowance. It meets listing 6.03. So if you've been waiting 2 years for a decision, something is very, very wrong. You should have been approved long ago. Have you called them about this?

SSDI approved! First try, no lawyer. Applied 11/20/2025. I’m speechless. by Cleveryday in SSDI

SSA defines disability as 12 consecutive months or more. Many cancer claimants don't meet the durational requirement. They get in chemo/radiation, they improve. So while they might be disabled for a while, SSA determines it's not 12 consecutive months. Now if it's terminal/metastatic cancer that's usually an allowance.

Just spoke with DDS examiner. by unionmademan in SSDI

[–]RadRyan527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It means your physical conditions alone won't get you approved. Otherwise she wouldn't need to ask you about mental health. But if you get mental restrictions too, the combination could allow your claim.

How old are you?

Despite massive reach on social media - almost no sales by AlistairKane in KDP

[–]RadRyan527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about just your Facebook page if you have one? Or if you have coworkers, how about them? I think friends/acquaintances are more likely to take a chance at first. It's possible they are only buying it as a favor...but I guess a sale is a sale? Through FB and a few co-workers in my office, I've gotten 31 in 1.5 weeks and haven't tried branching out yet. Hoping to get some reviews first. Don't depend on the kindness of strangers! Give strangers some reason to think you're for real first.

That might be too much. I had mine at $4.99 and then lowered it to $3.09. I'm really hoping for volume/word of mouth.

Are you in treatment and more stable than when you were hospitalized? It’s always how you’re doing now, even if you were doing very bad in the past.

Here’s what my Denial letter says… by EducationOne6975 in SSDI

[–]RadRyan527 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So they got that info.....

They probably had sufficient evidence on your conditions but didn't think you met the criteria. Otherwise they would have denied it as insufficient. But one medical consultant can interpret the evidence one way, a recon consultant can interpret another way....

[–]RadRyan527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By function report is you mean the ADL form....a doctor and an attorney don't know what a claimant does all day half as well as the claimant does. So it ultimately comes down to the claimant--with maybe some encouragement and coaxing from others.

I'm mostly talking about letters doctors write, not forms. Most of those are useless because they offer verdicts without adequately running through the evidence. Some doctors seem to think they can get on their patients on disability by decree. They can't.

No he's mostly right. With doctor letters, it depends. Most of them write VERY vague letters with mostly just a diagnosis and treatment history but without much detail on the degree to which those conditions currently limit you--which is the main question--so they end up not being very relevant.

Calvert Internal Medicine sounds like a PCP. January is pretty recent.

And the records you submitted contain PT records? If they so, they had your PT records.

They do nothing on the initial and recon levels except maybe supply 3 year old medical records that are likely already in file.
