| Does your government really care if you
| |
| | currently sitting in office. So, do they
|
| are disabled? That's a question that is
| |
| | care? Do they really care about those
|
| becoming more and worthy of the public's
| |
| | who are least able to assist
|
| consideration.Recently, I was on the
| |
| | themselves?I would have to say no. They
|
| phone with a disability claimant who
| |
| | do not.I will leave you with this
|
| needs to have his reconsideration filed
| |
| | anecdote: about 2 years ago I tried to
|
| and I asked him if he had been seen by
| |
| | assist one particular claimant whose
|
| any doctors recently. He gave the all too
| |
| | situation was quite miserable. He had no
|
| common answer: "No, I haven't been able
| |
| | access to medical care and his living
|
| to go. My insurance ran out a long time
| |
| | conditions were beyond the pale. To try
|
| ago".This is a very common situation. And
| |
| | to help him, I contacted the following
|
| I've heard it so much that I've become
| |
| | agencies in his city (not my own area of
|
| somewhat desensitived to it. But...if you
| |
| | operation): the salvation army, catholic
|
| really think about it, these situations
| |
| | social ministries, and urban
|
| (which ARE extremely common) are
| |
| | ministries.Want to know what I was told?
|
| horrendous.Let me put on my examiner
| |
| | They were out of funds. THIS WAS IN
|
| caseworker hat for a moment. The
| |
| | FEBRUARY OF THAT YEAR.So, what does that
|
| disability system is set up so that the
| |
| | say about the federal administration's
|
| prospect of being approved for disability
| |
| | notions of faith-based charities taking
|
| weighs entirely on a claimants medical
| |
| | up the slack from the
|
| records. And not just on medical records,
| |
| | government cutting back: that it is
|
| but on recent records (aside from closed
| |
| | essentially useless and disingenuous
|
| periods).Well, ding ding ding (wake up
| |
| | rhetoric.In addition to being a former
|
| bureaucrats, politicians, and red-tape
| |
| | disability examiner, I used to be a food
|
| functionaries), if the process for
| |
| | stamp caseworker, medicaid caseworker,
|
| eventually---we hope---getting approved
| |
| | and an afdc worker, and I can tell you
|
| for disability benefits can take up to 3
| |
| | unequivocally that private charities
|
| years (I'm not pulling that number out
| |
| | will never be able to fill any gap left
|
| of a rabbit hat either----just call any
| |
| | behind by the feds, but that's another
|
| attorney or non attorney practicing in
| |
| | conversation.Now, why this article?
|
| the raleigh north carolina area and they
| |
| | Because there are changes in the works
|
| will sullenly confirm this
| |
| | that while masquerading as reform of the
|
| information), then how can a claimant be
| |
| | social security disability system...will
|
| expected to have decent medical record
| |
| | actually make the system more hostile to
|
| documentation by the time they get to a
| |
| | disabled benefit applicants.Chew on this
|
| hearing (a destination most cases will
| |
| | as a parting thought. The people who are
|
| arrive at)?Answer: an unacceptably large
| |
| | trying to "reform" social security
|
| percentage of claimants won't (I
| |
| | disability are the same people who tried
|
| typically tell people to seek out a
| |
| | to (or are trying to, as the case may
|
| county health department, free clinic, or
| |
| | be):1. bust the federal employees unions
|
| even go the ER, if need be---but's let be
| |
| | (and have to some extent succeeded),2.
|
| honest, that doesn't take the place of
| |
| | altered regulations regarding overtime
|
| records generated via an ongoing treating
| |
| | compensation in a way that was clearly
|
| physician relationship).Now, before I go
| |
| | hostile to workers,3. are trying to limit
|
| on any further, I acknowledge the notion
| |
| | the ability of mesothelioma victims to
|
| that the disability system is not
| |
| | seek compensation (the sick part part
|
| responsible in any way, shape, or form
| |
| | about this is that mesothelioma has an
|
| for facilitating a claimant's access to
| |
| | incubation period of up to 40 years
|
| medical care while a case is pending in
| |
| | following exposure to asbestos fibers and
|
| order to substantiate a claim (i.e.
| |
| | the diagnosis itself is a literal death
|
| ensure that records are in place to
| |
| | sentence----no one survives, even
|
| support allegations of disability).
| |
| | following a pneumonectomy).And these are
|
| But, even for those claimants who had
| |
| | just a few things.So, to address the
|
| mainstream employer-provided health
| |
| | question we began with: does your
|
| insurance, COBRA only lasts 18 months.So,
| |
| | government really care if you become
|
| when the process can last 2 or 3 years,
| |
| | disabled and need immediate benefit
|
| where does that leave claimants? In a bad
| |
| | assistance to avoid falling into a
|
| way, without a doubt. Not only are they
| |
| | financial abyss? Perhaps to some
|
| put in the position of finding it
| |
| | extent...but, unfortunately, I would have
|
| difficult to document their
| |
| | to say, not particularly much.The author
|
| impairments----to add insult to injury
| |
| | of this article is Timothy Moore, who, in
|
| their conditions will sometimes worsen as
| |
| | addition to being a former food stamp
|
| a result of having inadquate access to
| |
| | caseworker, medicaid caseworker and AFDC
|
| medical care.Now, back to the headline of
