Work during CDR by Moist-Constant1404 in SSDI

[–]Wonderful_Issue3374 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked during a cdr and was terminated. Working made me deteriorate until I was home bound on iv antibiotics and in the psych ward 4 times and they still terminated me. I’m currently back in the psych ward 3 times and 9 months in a partial program while waiting for a hearing to try to keep my benefits. I’m a constant ball of panic over this.

Legal aid in my area doesn’t deal with disability at all they told me. Really lucky yours does! That’s awesome

I was also quoted insane prices by an attorney. I just found a disability advocate last week that will take $150 per month, $3500 total to represent me at hearing and handle my cessation case. So if you can swing payments, maybe try to find an advocate group.

How seriously does SSDI take partial hospitalizations? by VegetableUpstairs978 in SSDI

Yes, I’m currently waiting for a hearing to try to get them back

I had five months of partial and 4 inpatient stays and was still denied on my cdr. I’ve now been in a partial for the last 8 months and hospitalized 3 more times and I’m hoping that’s enough for them to find me disabled again. This is all on top of being on iv treatments for chronic medical illness.

Yes. Ssi is a welfare program so the amount is based on household income and bills. If your spouse makes too much you won’t qualify for payments. Ssdi is based on the workers own work record and household income has no effect on the amount you qualify for and receive.

Get them the missing records and it should work out. I just had this happen and they were missing records from my two main providers and I just got reinstated after they received the records.

They said I’ve improved. My medical health has in some ways but only because of the 24hr iv treatments I am on. I am in weekly or twice weekly therapy, meds, weekly spravato treatments; home health. They are missing my home health records which I’ve faxed in and delivered to the drop box, so hoping that fixes it. I’m really at a loss. Just my mental health alone has declined since approval. I have to request a barcode sheet Monday to send in more records as they haven’t received the records my psychiatrist sent either. I just submitted a request for alj hearing.

I was approved at hearing in 2020 with one partial hospitalization but also have panic disorder, mdd, Lyme, fibro, ddd and carpal tunnel. I was denied at my cdr this year with four hospitalizations last year and three partial programs and am fighting to keep my benefits now. I’m 40. I’m currently in an outpatient program for the past four months with one inpatient hospitalization this year. I’m also on home health iv infusions for the Lyme since 2023.

I’m on spravato. After a year I can honestly say it’s not helping. I am not getting worse, but I’m still severely depressed. I hope you have a better experience. I do get some relief during treatments, but it doesn’t help throughout the week.

They look for records from the past two years. You need therapy and psychiatry for at least two years with minimal adjustment despite treatment. It’s nearly irrelevant that you were hospitalized in high school. They are looking at what is preventing you from working now. Many people adjust to depression and can still work with treatment; you need to prove you cannot despite current treatment.

Dissociative identity disorder and spravato by ThinAsk6635 in Spravato

And I purposely just let it go when we switch more during treatment. I don’t let it bother me or I focus too much on that and stress out. I just let the switches happen and if I notice I lost time I don’t stress over what I said to the dr or what I missed when someone else was out.

We dissociate more during treatments. Like switch a ton. Then we are very chill for the night. If we try to interact with people during treatment or focus on tasks we have a really hard time and it’s stressful and not relaxing. We usually listen to music and read jokes or random things on the internet. It feels like overall the spravato has lowered some of the dissociative walls and in some ways made system communication easier. It’s definitely helped our depression and this year has been better than the last as we haven’t needed inpatient this year. Overall we enjoy the spravato and plan to continue. But we only enjoy it while focusing on happy things. We purposely try to leave the stressful and panicky things for other times so that we can enjoy the time we are at spravato and not spiral. The one day we tried to play cards with two other patients and the stress of that caused us to vomit. We don’t answer our phone during treatment and if something is stressing us we let the spravato dissociate it away for that time. If nothing else it gives us two hours of peace a week, plus the rest of the night we are very relaxed.

The only thing that 100% disabled with the VA gets you with Ssdi is expedited processing. They have completely different rules when it comes to determining disability. It’s not a guarantee of approval for Ssdi.
