I have worked at minimal paying part-time work as my children grew older. I still have to get 2 through grade and High school. I feel like life is much more "do-able" when I don't work. Do you think I will have a chance at disability. When I add a job to my like, it makes it so grueling. I am presently trying Wellbutrin. It does wonders for my depression-but I am probobly going to have to give it up because it causes so much anxiety that I take anti-anxiety meds for. I also have an increased desire to drink alcohol, which I gave up completely one year ago because I was using it excessively.
Answer:
This is how it goes..(* my husband on disability for depression) You apply, fill out paperwork..you will be turned down the first time now matter what because unless your illness is terminal, they turn everyone down usually..you MUST appeal this...more paperwork..you will either be approved this time around or denied..SOMETIMES they have you go see one of a number of psychiatrists that disability pays for to do these interviews to get another opinion other than YOUR doctors..IF you are denied the second time..APPEAL it again..you are usually approved the third time but if not, GET A LAWYER..they work on contingency and do not collect anything unless you are approved..then they will take about 25% of your FIRST check..which is called a winfall check..this is an accumulation of ALL the money you wouldve collected if you had been approved the first time you applied..(it can accumulate into thousands of dollars depending on your income when you worked)..It is a waiting game so be prepared to wait..perhaps a year or more for the process..but it is worth it..I dont know what we wouldve done without it as my hubby is very ill. It is not true that you usually get turned down the first time unless you have a terminal illness. There are many medical conditions such as physical illnesses or physical problems like blindness where they are required to automatically accept you since they have no reason to turn you down. Mental illness is a bit tougher, but having schizophrenia or obsessive-compulsive disorder will get you automatically accepted too. Also, you do go in for an interview, at least this is the way it happened for me at the social security office I went to. I'm sure having obsessive-compulsive disorder in addition to depression helped me to get accepted. But I went in with all my relevant information, my psychiatrists and psychologists references, with a note from my psychiatrist that stated my diagnosis, and then I waited 3 months and was then accepted. They also paid me for the 3 months that I waited for an answer. The interviewer doesn't have anything to do with you getting accepted, they only accept your information so that other people can look at it later on. I'm not sure on depression though, it might be a little tougher to get accepted with this alone since so many people have different kinds of depression, you do have to get a recomendation from a psychiatrist that says your depression disables you, if your recommendation was from some other type of doctor then there's a much bigger chance they will not accept you. They might also require you to see one of their psychiatrists before they accept you. But if they do turn you down, keep appealing and do get a lawyer and one that knows about this stuff not just any lawyer. There are also groups such as groups for depressives that might be able to help you with this and they might be able to supply you with a free lawyer, the people themselves at the Social Security office can give you information about this.
