Barbara Cat- Disability

Posted by judy1 on June 20, 2003, at 13:40:17

Hi,
I contacted Allsup (sp?)- a national group of diability lawyers once it seemed obvious I couldn't return to work. I was diagnosed with bipolar/panic disorders and had a rough year (hospital, frequent shrink visits,etc.). I told my history to the lady who contacted me and she filled out all the forms, contacted my shrink (who has lots of experience with disability)- all I did was sign things. Three months later I was approved and social security even gave me a large check for back pay. I think the key was the lawyer (who charged the max fee -I think $4000- once I got my check) and my shrink who knew how to word things. I just had a review a few months ago (my statement said they would review me every 3-5 years) and my shrink filled out the form and my husband filled out something and they passed it again.
Hope this helped-judy
