Besides our private insurance LTD claim, I have to file a claim for Social Security Disability. Can anyone offer advice or support on this? How about an attorney specializing in this?
I wish I had a clue about how to answer some of these questions. I'm not at all sure whom to turn to. That said, I'm sure there are people in our church who have been through this and faced these same decisions. It might be worth calling Bob Meyer, for example, as he may have dealt with similar issues with his son. Another possibility is giving Lynn a call to see whom else at church might be able to provide some guidance.
Filling out the disability form online, I'm stuck with a couple of questions, but can't get through the phone tree to anything but a busy signal. Any ideas? Or someone who has filled out the form who might know how to interpret an item?
Received approval for SS Disability benefits yesterday, retroactive to 12/2008, with a 5-month waiting period; Need to go into the local office & have Raj sign some paperwork for checks to be paid.
