Help with SSDI [View all]
I have applied and been denied disability. Fortunately when this all started I had good Long Term Disability insurance that has been paying the bills but it's not going to last forever. The insurance company got me a lawyer who has basically done nothing but the original filing and the reconsideration filing. I have a seizure condition that can/will leave me flopping on the floor and at times require CPR when/if I stop breathing. I don't know any company that would hire me knowing that could happen especially considering if I hurt myself while having a seizure at work it could maybe be considered a workman's comp issue. I am 52 years old and have paid into SS my whole life. I also owned a private company that paid about 500k in company match for employees. I will NEVER get back what I have paid in but I'm in a spot where I really need it. I contacted my reps Tim Kaine and Mark Warner and they both contacted SS for me and it was just a standard basic response.
What else can I do to improve my chances and speed up this process? When my private insurance runs out I have nothing coming in.
Thanks for your help!!
