Does anyone have experience with an SSI application based on migraines or something like chronic fatigue? I just had a denial after my hearing, and the administrative law judge wrote something about migraines not being medically verifiable. I don't know what I am going to do because I cannot prove that I get migraines.

Bare with me here for a bit. When I originally won my disability case way back in the day. I was told that I made more then I am able to receive in Michigan. I think at the time they were saying I was going to get like I dunno $1900 but after I won they the said the limit to what you can get from SSDI at the time was $1300 something. And so at that ( Read more... )

Hello, I started receiving SSDI in May. I would like to try doing some transcription online through Amazon Mturk. Even if it does work out I don't see myself earning more than $300-500 a month and $50-100 would be more likely. Could this cause trouble with my SSDI benefits? Do I need to call and tell them about it? Does anyone else earn some money ( Read more... )

I think there was once a discussion about this but I forget.. Is it worth it, or does anyone actually bother to do their taxes when there on disability? I know you have to make 25,000 or whatever it was to be taxed in the first place, so it doesnt really matter. Since I dont make anywhere near that much. So I never bother to do it. But is it worth ( Read more... )

When you have your SSI review & they ask if you've worked outside the home, does volunteering count? I just did my review over the phone & I said that I haven't worked. I have done some volunteering, thug. I tried to call the worker back to ask, but her voicemail seems to be off.

I dont post here much and well from livejournal itself I havnt met to many people that are sick.. But for the people that do or dont know when i was younger basically my doctors fucked me up and didnt admit it to me till I was dying in the hospital. It was a big mess I found out a lot of my records were messed up, even to the point of UofM faking ( Read more... )

Hi, I just joined this community with the purpose of seeking some information, though I'm not sure how active this place is.

I am not on any disability and I don't know much about it, either, but I've been looking into it because I am pretty sure I would like to apply.  From what I'm reading, I'm not sure if I'm even "qualified" so I'm hoping those ( Read more... )
