Yes, the people there think it is THEIR money! If you let them know you know your rights, quietly, they show you the door/hang up on you!

Seems so....I have been diagnosed with M.S. (multiple sclerosis)and have lots of secondary medical problems.I am not allowed to even drive at the moment.I was turned down for both SSI and Disability.They agree I have limitations,but believe I can work.I cant drive remember,but I can work?Anyway I have gotten a lawyer and have been told I have a very open and shut case.Even my lawyer couldn't believe I was turned down.So in answer to your question yes you are usually turned down the first time.
After you are turned down the very first time,find a lawyer.It will be no cost out of pocket.They will just get about 25% of back pay owed to you by the state. I hope this helps.Good luck to you.♥

To get Social Security disability, you must have worked at least 40 quarters and some of those work quarters must have been with in the 5 year period immediately prior to your becoming disabled. So is you worked for 10 years, and then didn't work for 4 years and became disabled, if you were approved by SSA, you would get SSA disability. BUT, if you had not worked for 6 years, you would NOT be eligible for SSA disability (even if you had worked 40 quarters) because you had no employment with in the 5 year period immediately prior to becoming disabled. You would be able to get SSI. In this last case, when the disabled person becomes of age to retire, they would be able to get Social Security retirement. If a person has not worked enough to get Social Security disability and can get only SSI, they will not be able to get SSA retirement.

No. SS is an entitlement...you paid into it and collect at 62.
SSI is disability at any age and yes you can be turned down but if there are new developments you may reapply.

From what I have seen, you are almost always turned down the first time. If you appeal, you sometimes win and are accepted. Obviously not everyone continues to be turned down, or no one would be on the program. You must appeal to have a chance.

You do usually get turned down the first time unless you are at death's door. Then you get it. That is what happened with me but they got their revenge. A few months after my husband died they made a "clerical error" and took my income away. I am still fighting to get my benefits back.

I heard that it is procedure to always turn you down the first time.
Good luck. Keep trying. I think you need to be turned down atleast once before you can get a lawyer anyway.

Do you mean SSDI? You are most often turned down the first time, unless you have really good documentation for why you can't work.
