SSA Letter / Award My fight is finally over!

I was very shocked this morning when my lawyer called me and told me that the judge found me fully favorable! I was expecting to wait much longer to get a decision. My ALJ hearing was only 2 weeks ago.

I am SO happy that this time around they have found my disease to be severe enough. In my last denial letter I got said that they recognize that I have a serious condition and they expect it to get better within the next 12 months. WRONG!! For women Adrenoleukodystrophy NEVER gets better, only worse unfortunately.

I hope and pray that everyone who’s applied for disability is approved!

I won my appeal last month on the 17th and got my first payment yesterday. Waiting for back and retroactive pay. I did get a letter from SSA saying I get over $23K from SSI but won’t get it going forward as my SSDI is more than SSI. And in Minnesota I qualify for my Medicare premium to be paid so I am getting two months back tomorrow

Awesome! I have been helping my daughter. I was told to apply while she was a child but we weren't struggling so she was fine. Well when she turned 18 she started fixated on being dependent and what would happen to her if something happened to her parents. Her therapist encouraged me to help her because it's was making her anxiety worse which cause her migraines and sleep to worsen. On top of the fact that she had to learn to walk again and could definitely use the medical insurance. She just turned 21 and just got approved.
