Reconsideration Stage

I was awarded SSDI and judged disabled by a judge in 2012 for a case opened in 2009 for my heart condition and Multiple Sclerosis. Meanwhile, was separated from abusive spouse but it took 5 years for divorce to be final. However, during the divorce process - and not long after I got my first SSDI checks, I was denied further benefits by local SS office because the spouse inherited large amount of stocks, money, and cashed in his retirement (without my knowledge or any of my portion).

i was approved for disability in april 2017 ,i want to ask for reconsideration of the onset date that i was found to be disabled,my question is ,if i do appeal and ask that the date of disability be changed ,and they find me not disabled,can they take back the money that i was awarded /approved for in my original application ? i was told thay may find you not disabled if you lose the appeal,how can they do that ,they will be looking at the same evidence they approved me for originaly.can any one help with some information,so i can decide to appeal or not.

I WENT TO COURT ON A RECONSIDER APPEAL. I WENT IN WITHOUT A LAWYER. I RECEIVED A LETTER LAST WEEK STATING UNFAVORABLE. I ALREADY WAS APPROVED IN 2010. HOWEVER I HAD TO REAPPLY IN 2012, NOW HERE I AM DENIED YET I HAVE READ IN THE BLUE BOOK OF ALL MY DISORDERS AND THE JUDGE EVEN SAID IN THE REPORT CANT WORK AROUND PEOPLE. I AM SO UPSET OVER THE REPORT THAT I AM NOT SLEEPING NOW AT ALL IT JUST DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME

My case was being reviewed by the council sine the ALJ denied my claim. I was able to track the status online but when I logged in now it is not there. Does this mean a decision has been made not in my favor?

Hello Everyone,

I'm writing to get advice from experts in dealing with SSA claims -- specifically a recent SSA letter stating that my girlfriend was overpaid for disability benefits.

Questions:

1. Should we claim Reconsideration, Waiver or Reconsideration & Waiver? I'm specifically interested if one gives better hope for future success during Personal Conference and review of file.

My cozen was hit by a car some time ago and is 100% permanent and total disabled, She will never be able to walk again or perform the duties of most jobs. The problem that were running into is that the lawyer that she got has done little to help get her disability as well as took most of what she received in back pay, and rarely ever contacts her. It is hard for me to do much where I am at because I live in Florida and she lives in South Carolina.
She said that she was receiving one form for around $400 a month and then was allotted another that was randomly taken from her.

My sister has been disabled since December 2014. She has an open wound on her leg, has no feeling in her foot or leg, tumors in her stomach and yet no one will help her received any kind of money so she can pay rent and eat.
Who can we go to for help
