Title: It came through, my award letter from social security!
Post by: sewerrat4u on March 01, 2009, 12:48:50 AM

Hello everyone, I just want to tell all that I was very concerned about applying for social security because I was told that most people on PD

get denied, that it would be difficult. I not only was dealling with the symptoms of ESRD, anxieties ,insomnia  high and low blood pressure

episodes. Now  I was thinking that if I was denied I was going to have to push myself to go back to work after missing more than four months

and still feeling like crap. I had also.  asked if anyone had hired an attourney to get their social security. Thanks to many of you, you told me not

to hire an attourney unless I had already been denied. Well it turns out you were right, I applied online on Feb 9th and had an award letter in my
 
hands by Feb 27th.

     I have 33 years at my job with Safeway, I was 2 and 1/2 years from retiring and now with my award letter I qualify for my full pension.

So pardon me  if I celebrate about not going back to work, but I also want to let everyone know not to worry about applying for your

benefits. The online application does take a few hours to fill out completely, so if you're needing to apply go to www.socialsecurity.gov

 Thanks to you all.....especially ...you Paris........... Gus

Congrats! I'm in the process of applying as well, so I hope it goes as well for me. Somehow I don't think it will as I don't have enough work credits.
