I finally got my disability back

I haven't been on here too much in recent months, so I was unaware of your financial straits. I'm happy to hear that you're getting your benefits back again though. The only thing I can think of that really had me scared and waiting for a decision, was when I was going to court on behalf of my son, to get a "peace bond" to keep a former babysitter of ours away from him. I was so worried that I wouldn't get it, and her family was adamant about fighting it, so it ended up going to trial. It was an awful experience, but I got the peace bond in the end. Unfortunately it only lasted for one year, but I knew that was the case when we started the process of getting it.

am so so glad you finally got it back! takes a big load off the mind. I had a time with SS after hubby passed took 6 months to get them in gear to get them to swet me up on his SS and then they took my little bit away but at least I do get it.

Hey that is great I am really glad you finally got it back. I am sure that all of us has been scared because of something like that or another. It is never easy and knowing it might go in your favor doesn't make it that less scarier while it is going on. Prayer sometimes help alot of it. Usually when I go to a doctor and waiting on test results for something that is serious or life threatening can make me scared about the results and when it comes back clean I can breathe a sign of relief that everything was okay.

got to check it out

I'm happy to hear that you have your disability back, even if it's only temporary. It still saddens me that it wasn't perminant, because you deserve it. I read the full story, and one thing I didn't understand, it said you couldn't go outside during the winter, spring, fall, I was shocked to see that summer wasn't on the list. I remember reading one of your discussions about you having such a hard time trying to get to the doctors office, I'm not sure what month, but like to say between July-August. It was really hot, and you had to stop to catch your breathe, because you didn't have a ride, nor you could afford to take a bus. With the list of your medical problems, I am shocked you didn't get perminant disability.

yeah i was very worried the past month because of my hubby changing/trying to find a job and me not being able to work.. it was horrible so i can definitely relate.. i got my disability papers today asking for more info for the court date saying they havent heard anything from me update wise since oct 30th 06 and i just sent them things months ago grr!! im so happy you got it back and i hope you get to keep it and not have this to stress about.. fibro and everything else stresses you enough with out other things!!

Hubby was held up on getting unemployment, because of his boss letting him go. Bob (my husband) knew it was a set up deal. He had an interview on the phone with the Unemployment people. They sent a paper to the previous employer. The long and short of it was that Unemployment felt that the firing was unjust, and they never got a response from the company. They told Bob it would take seven to ten days to get any money, but in three days time he had three weeks worth of benefits. Winter Rose, is the disability going to be permanent this time? Are you happy with the results? Did they give your any retroactive pay?

Thanks for sharing this article. I read it with great interest. It is scary when your source of income is at threat.

[i]Hi winterose, wow..that is a great news! ENjoy and relax! I remember when I took a licensure exam, I was scared a lot and I didn't even look for the result and I was glad I made it, it was[/i] my family and friends who told me that I pass after checking the result! LOL!

I am so happy to hear this good news. I know you have really been stressed and worried about this. I still don't see why they don't make it permanent disability for you. Thank you for sharing this happy news. Now sit back and breath again and relax.

Winterose, I am so happy that you got your disability back, I was worried about it before when you were talking about it.. I read your article also and it was really good.. I have been scared many times in my life, too many to list, but things do have a way of working out in the end.. I am glad that a bit of the pressure has been taken off of you.. Good luck to you with our writing..

I'm so glad you got a good decision. I've been concerned about you.

{{winterose}} I just finished reading your article and felt like I had walked back in time for myself, its all just so stressful!! Maybe I should write about my own personal "hell" I had to go through while waiting on my own disability....It is rough, it is hard and all I can say is just keep hanging in there, I know you live in a different country, but if you ever need to talk EMAIL ME or PM to get my email...maybe I can relate something of help towards your own ordeal... it SUCKS!!! That's one of the reasons I am here on mylot too, looking for ways to earn extra money to get by on for each month, I need to get busy and write more on associated, Reviewstream, now that ciao has lowered their review fee's/per article ( darn it) I wish they could've waited until AFTER the new year but such is our luck right? RIGHT!! thanks for sharing your story, I know I am not alone in this battle not by any means but there are times when I do feel all alone in my daily struggle to just "get by"...make it and so on!! big {{hugs}} to you, and I do mean it when I say if you need to talk email me ok? good luck to you!!! I'll be searching for more of your work ( your writings) maybe it will inspire me I need a good kick in the pants I think to get going here on that! LOL!

I am so glad that you got it back and I do hope that things will now be a bit easier for you

I am so happy for you also. I think alot of us have been through things like this at one point and time. We almost lost our home a couple of years ago because our house payment got to the bank one day after the grace period. We had to wait for them to decide if they would accept three whole payments from us for the next three months payments. That was scary also. That was the first time we were ever late, but it was sent on time or early also.

This is great news, congratulations, I am glad you got it back.

Oh winterose what a time you are having, it must be absolutely awful for you. At least for now you have it back and lets hope that it is made permanent. It is so unfair that you are being treated in this manner when it is obvious you have so many things against you health wise. The only time I have ever been scared is when we were investigated for fraud on our benefits we were claiming, we had done nothing wrong but someone spiteful had made an allegation against us and we would be in big trouble if they found anything amiss. They investigated every aspect of our money life and it was horrible of course they found nothing amiss but the stress of it was horrible.

I am so glad everything worked out for you.It will sure release all the stress that has been building up.Now you can take one deep breathe and relax!

I'm sorry your disability payments had to be cut. That is so cruel IMHO. However, I'm glad that you found some writing jobs to get you off and prevent you from being evicted. It hurts my heart to think that, there you are physically disabled and unable to do anything that can otherwise help you earn the money for rent, and you're going to be evicted. I pray for your continued sources of income so you can support yourself winterose. Do your best as much as you could.
