>i have dealt with the s.s. disbility dept. before for others, they have strict criteria. your disability MUST either lead to death or it must keep you from working for life. what about workmans comp? thats the road to take if its a job-related injury. i know its awful, but what about welfare? and food stamps? try those.. and good luck!
>We need comments or suggestions from anyone who might have dealt with similiar thing. We only wanted SSI, SSDI. & MEDICAID benefits while injuries heal. Not permently. Lineman drove Harley into side of a pickup. Resulting in multi breaks of multi bones. Doctors using him as a "poster boy" regarding the contraption placed on left arm. Only 3 one done here we're told. And dr. estimates 12 mos. total healing time. Unknown if he will still be a lineman then. I know his LINEMAN'S ATTITUDE will get him up pole, don't know if wise to continue as career. SSA says he should heal in 12 mos. so no benefits. And there is no state disability program here.
Re:NEED APPROXIMATELY 12mos TO HEAL. DENIED SSA HELP. SUGGESTIONS?
