Bi polar SS benefits?!


Question:

Bi polar SS benefits?

Can anyone tell me the process involved in applying for social security disability for bi-polar disorder. It is a documented, medicated case. It has even caused inability to work or attend college. Thanks in advance for help.


Answers:

Hi

What I did was I went to the social security office, filled out the papers, had my interview and they were to contact my therapist docs etc.

A few months later I got my rejection notice letter in the mail. I then filled out the papers to appeal the decision. Again, I was declined.

So I tried 1 more time. Again, declined. At that point I hired a Disability Rights Atty. I did not have to pay his fee unless we won our case. He did all that he could, we appeared before the judge and stated out case as the state did theirs.

about 3 weeks later I received an approval letter for SSID. The first check was retro active from the first day I applied in the social security office. My atty's fee was taken directly out of this first check and that was that.

It is a hard process but if your disability is real then fight for it.

Be safe and be well
