The system really does stink and ...I'm sorry Kelly. The system really does stink and is totally broken. I applied for SSDI at the beginning for November. They needed some more paperwork so I did that, probably middle of November. By the middle of Dec. I had already received the news--denied. Although I suffer from severe back pain and haven't worked in over two years and have a disability rating and my drs don't know if I will ever be well again, I was denied. Just flat out denied in a matter of weeks. What I was told would take months to decide took about 4 weeks. I can appeal but they have already said from my history they think I am fully capable of working. Maybe that is just their way to keep me from appealing, I don't know. Right now though I am doing okay with money and whatever I would get from SSDI would never be enough to pay any sort of bills. So hopefully I will be released from drs and do what you are planning, lying to jobs and faking my way through feeling good to get back out there and get some real money and insurance. <BR/><BR/>Take care and know that I'm always thinking of you.
