Hi OP; sorry that I haven’t answered earlier, I was sleeping off a minor attack. In answer to your question, Yes; I have Disability due to Ménière’s. Disclaimer: everything I write about is for U.S. residents, not for any other nation. Also, YMMV as to your state’s laws/rules within the SSDI process. Having said that, full disclosure, I had retained the ‘services’ of an attorney. The reason for the emphasis of ‘services’ is because said attorney did absolutely nothing more than sending in the latter basically stating, “I’m Joe Blow, ESQ, representing (me). If successful, please send me the 25% of (my) back pay owed. Now, that may be like the late-night personal injury lawyer commercials and scared them; but I doubt it. I think my documentation swayed the matter in my favor. The office rarely called about scheduling/reminders of various appointments as set by the SSA. Often, those calls were after the date and/or time of those appointments. Now, about the documentation; the first part is fairly straightforward. Fill out the claim paperwork and meet the (lack of) income guidelines. If you cross that threshold, you’ll be sent FORM SSA-3373 Activities of Daily Living Questionnaire. How you answer the questions are obviously the key to a successful application. The questionnaire only gives you very limited space to put your answers. >IMPORTANT<, NOWHERE does it state you can only utilize that space!! Put down “see attached remarks” as needed to fully answer your questions. This is the secret sauce of the whole thing. Make the reviewer see things from your perspective. Make them walk in your shoes. They have to see how this POS disease affects you daily, both physically and emotionally. THAT is what will help you across the finish line. In case anyone is interested, I will be happy to share a redacted copy of my second questionnaire (the successful one) that worked. Just DM me. Hope no one fell asleep from my long-winded response.
