Answers:
Yes it is!.


Applying for disability benefits is a long, drawn out process that takes months, sometimes years, to receive!. You can call them to start the application process by phone at 1-800-772-1213!. Part of the application can be done online BUT you need to call them first to get started!.


Make sure you have ALL your doctor, hospital, clinic & medication information!. If you're not sure of the doctor, hospital or clinic address or full name, look the information up online through your insurance company or do a quick search to locate the information!.


You WILL be denied with your first application!. I don't know anyone who's gotten it with their first application!. Once you get denied, sit down with the phone book & start calling SSI attorneys!. You'll need one to help you file the appeal to get your SSI benefits!. A decent attorney's office will NOT offer to call you back!. They'll make you an appointment to come into their office to fill out the appeal paperwork!. I learned this the hard way with 3 other SSI attorneys, 2 of which had ME call SSI to obtain the appeal paperwork that THEY should have provided me!. My case has taken a lot longer this way but now that I have a decent attorney, I'll be getting my SSI with in about 17 months or less, depending on the appeal process!.


Stick with the process!. As I stated above, it's a long process to get your benefits!. It could take anywhere from 6-18 months to get the benefits!.


Make sure your medical records state you're unable to work due to the stroke, migraines & memory loss!. Otherwise, SSI will look at that & determine you're able to return to work!.


SSI will also ask you to see a doctor in your area at THEIR cost to help determine your case!. You'll receive the appointment letter in the mail & please keep this appointment!. It's crucial to your case!. Be prepared to provide the same information over & over again!. Have someone help you fill out the forms if possible!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is never easy to get on disability, but with patience you may be able to do it!. I don't know what kind of stroke you had, but if you go to your doctor, he can help you get the information you need to apply for disability!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A stroke can have many effects, you can fill in the forms and may have to be examined by a doctor before the final decisionis made!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
