I can’t stand or set upright very long a time. I think it due to some deformity in my chest and back bone. I need to lay back to rest it the more I work the more I need the rest it cause it feel like some one sticking a knife in my back anywhere between my nick and down to end of my ribs and also shoot around in the front of the ribs cage . If I continue working and pushing it I eventually freeze up, yes I try meds it doesn’t work. I can’t learn very well cause when I was little I had chronic ears infection and still do my doctor said that has something to do with and I have A.D.D to add to it that connected to my recall, long term, short term memory it just a too much of a struggle to keep up you know can’t make the grades. With both of my problem together I can not keep a job

Most of the people I work with who have hidden disabilities have been turned down at least twice, though, it's a very individual thing. In your situation it is helpful to have detailed clinical documentation about both conditions, your learning disability and your back injury.
There's a great group on the internet made up of people in your situation helping each other out. Go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ssadisability/

None I never wanted it! The disability label was forced on me in Canada and I'm stuck with
it! The only advantage is I get a measly check
and don't have to work for it! The disadvantage is you have a hard time to get off of it! Employers don't want to hire you if you're
on disability cause they think you're trying to beat the system! Disability is a bad thing.. you should thank your lucky stars you're not forced on it! If you want to be forced on it come to Canada and become a Canadian Citizen and perhaps you will get it forced on you... just don't let them know its what you wanted!
Something I don't want to be stuck on and I'd
go to the U.S if that wasn't becoming such a dictatorship.

I have diabetes and am on insulin, they will no longer let me have a cdl and yet the ss administration says I can still drive a truck, I have only been turned down once. But that was 18 months ago. As much as I hate it I got a lawyer. But I still think they will give me a rough time because I don't walk with a limp.

I have been trying to get it for my son who is a minor, got turned down 2 x he has an invisible disability but they told me that because I have life insurance on both of us and I have a 401k plan that we cant get it. I have to pay for all of his meds and copays and it adds up. I wonder if I die, would SSI bury me? I am going to try again but I have to gather up the energy again.

There are many thousands in my state that get SS Disability in my state. Many who are illegal and with forged papers. The system is corrupted

It's really hard to get it with more visible handicaps, and you have to be really poor.
