Hi,
I finally called my local ssa today and set up an appointment for my application. I set it up for as a phone appt. I am now wondering if
that was the best way to do it. I imagine there are pros and cons for
both but would like some input. I was also told that I didn't need anything
as they would get all the needed paperwork ie doctors records ect for me.
I thought though that with IC, I should include documentation as to the
disease itself and my own daily records of how my disease disables me.
Advice greatly appreciated.
Also how hard is it to prove an onset date that is prior to the actual diagnois date? Onset being the time that I was disabled. My diagnois date is March of 06. My onset was at sometime in 05 the Drs just couldn't determine my problem until March of the following year. Which as I have read is pretty lucky to get correctly diagnosised that quickly My benefits and credits needed to be eligible end Dec of '05. If they will only go by diagnosis date then I just miss the eligiblity.
I did ask about the child drop off years and was told that was a possiblity to look into with my being off work for the last 5.5 years for my young kiddos.
Wish my luck and give my any advice please.
