Appointment's coming up.....

DH has an appointment on Sept. 21 with an "orthopedic specialist" who is associated with Social Security Disability. I guess, when they pulled all his records, they not only found all the bipolar stuff, but, of course, all the back pain stuff, too. So now he's supposed to go and be evaluated for his back, too. I don't know if this is a good sign, or a bad sign, or just a sign that they're being thorough....

All I know is I/we sure could use that money.....I know in the Spring, things will be better, but that's still 6 months away!!!! I guess I've waited this long, though, huh?

I guess I'm just rambling tonite.

Carol,

I have been reading your blog for awhile. Like your husband I have bipolar disorder. I applied for disability at the end of January and I was approved at the end of August. At the beginning of September I received a very large check (over $14,000). When I called Social Security, because I was sure it was in error, they told me that they paid from January 2008 not 2009. I was disabled in April 2007. SS pays from the date you were disabled OR a year from date you applied which ever is less. If DH gets disability you will get a large sum for the initial payment. You should also get a payment for DD. My kids are going to get a small monthly payment. Best wishes!
