If it is under the limit of SGA then it wouldn't reduce your benefit or cause trouble. The amount is 500 something a month. I think it just went up in 2018 so I don't want to quote an exact amount.

The only problem with getting an attorney right away is they don't really do any work until you are denied the first time. I got an attorney after I applied, but before I knew if I was approved or not. Inwas approved right away and now that attorney will get almost 6000 from me.

Please do! I actually feel more depressed since I heard the words approved. I haven't been out of bed today. It's like I don't know what to do with myself now.

That is a very good idea. I am in intensive treatment right now, but want to make future plans which hopefully means I can go back to work one day.

I filed July 2017. I was sent to a mental CE Sept. 28th and was approved Oct 2nd. This was all on an initial application. I have spotty treatment but have been in and out of treatment since I was 14 and I'm now 31.

So I found out today my SSDI has been approved on my initial application. I am happy, but feel so bad about it. I feel like a total waste. This can't be my life.

I just found out today I was APPROVED for SSDI. I am both happy and sad. I feel like a waste of space.

I am in your same boat, but I am 31. I just can't accept that I won't ever again. I want to work, bit I also need to get better. In your case I think a good answer for the docs question would be I would love to work, but my illness and symptoms keep me from being able to do that.

Well to be honest if you ask anyone most will say they don't want to work but have to. Most with a disability want to work. I am fighting for SSDI rigjt now and working would give me more income than SSDI ever would. Even if I win my case, I want to continue treatment and get to a point to get...

Initial approval. I have concentration issues, but really don't know how they could tell with what they asked. I get very bored with things. I have been DX ADD. The first time or second or third time you ask or have me do something may be easy...it is the long haul over and over same thing type...

Sorry, I haven't been on in awhile...a lot has happened. I went for my mental CE yesterday with a psychologist. She asked nothing of my symptoms or life events. Just memory type of questions. Really lady of I could give my memories away I would. I have never stayed I have memory lose just have...

The report only says some stuff not even the tip. I am going to let her see it and see what she says.

What if what I was told is correct? What if I can't keep a container or door closed? What if I really go insane!? I know there are always people that have had it worse than me. I don't know if it would be so bad if it was only me. I am the second oldest of 6. I watched and saw what was done to...

I have had anxiety for as long as I can remember everyday for at least 5 years. My chest hurts daily and it feels like my heart skips beats. It has become a normal for me. Over the past 5 years maybe once a month is would go into a full blown panic attack. For the last year and a half I have...
