So the last week has been pretty busy trying to get my husband's disability appeal written and sent in, and contacting lawyers to try and find a representitive. Having to go before the judge without an advocate or anything was hellish, to say the least. So finding a lawyer is a must for the appeal. It truly sucks that a system that is meant to help people in need is so abused that even those who should qualify have to jump through so many hoops and be made to feel so insignifigant that they feel like giving up every step of the way. I know that this country needs to make sure that the people getting help really need it, but when we can't afford to go to the doctor every time he has a seizure or a day with bad symptoms, we are told that what we experience doesn't count. Literally. When you deal with a condition like epilespy for 23 years, it is gut wrenching to have to pay a couple thousand dollars for an ambulance ride and er visit, just to be told, take an extra dose of medicine and sleep it off. Which is all they can really do since the active part of his seizures don't last for longer than 5 minutes. So part of the reason for this site is to try to earn extra money to stay afloat. I want to share my knowledge with people, and everything that I have found out over the past 15-16 years, so that others can benifit from my work. But I also want my family to be comfortable and to thrive as well.So for anyone having a hard time or thinking about applying for SSI on your own, please, take my word for it. They may take a portion of your settlement, but having someone in your corner really helps you feel like a human being, not a pile of crap.
