(REMASTERED) Q&A: Social Security Disability Today - 8/21/2011
Original Posting - 8/21/2011REMASTERED - 11/14/2024Video available on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/iccS8dEigwI1) In your most current video you talked about how the SSA may look at cases involving heart conditions with applicants who are young (32) and have a college degree vs. an applicant who doesn't. Is this a major factor in how they decide whether or not you qualify for SSI or SSDI?2) I only have ER and hospital visits to prove my case. I don't have a primary doctor but I have a serious health condition. Is the lack of a Primary care Dr. going to hurt my case? If so, what are some of my options?3) I filed Jan 2011. I have recently went to a SSDS appointed meeting with doctor. Seven months have went by and I am struggling as you can imagine. If the claim is approved, will payment be retroacted to a certain time in the application submittal process? In plain english, will there be back pay, if so, to what point?4) What is a medical source statement?5) When can I get a copy of my Social Security Disability file during the process? How do I know if my file is complete? How do I know if certain medical records got in my file??6) Have you any experience handling cases for those with Asperger's Syndrome? And what is the general outcome of those claims?7) Student Loans. I have heard that student loans can be forgiven if the person is been considered disabled by SS. If so or not, I'd like some clarification on the matter?
