narcolepsy?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Is there any help I can get for going to school with narcolepsy? It's to the point where I choose not to go to the majority of the lectures, from being useless when I'm constantly trying to stay awake, and just try to teach my self from home and only show up for quizzes and tests. But that's hasn't even been working lately because I won't make it through the test with a clear mind. A test last term, I sort of tutored a couple friends who had trouble with a certain class; despite that it was me who was teaching them, they aced the test, I failed.

After several years of diagnosed depression, my sister has recently become incapacitated with catatonic depression. She is unable to apply on her own due to both mental and physical conditions. How do we begin the process if she can't do it herself?

Winning benefits on the basis of low productivity (due to LD + MH issues)

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

I applied for SSI, and was told that I have a very low chance of winning because I'm a college student. My lawyer told me that it is rare for students to be granted benefits since taking coursework demonstrates to the SSA that I would be capable of working (nevermind the fact that I'm only taking two classes!). While I tried taking more than two classes in the past this was difficult due to interference from my learning disability, as well as mental breakdowns.

Cannot do this by myself

Submitted by Gordon on

I filed for disability for Bi-Polar depression in 2/2012, I was denied, appealed it, went to a hearing in front of an ALJ judge, lost the hearing, appealed it and lost. Now my only recourse is to drop it, reapply or take SS to federal court. My attorney will not take it to court, another attorney looked at the case and won't take it either. So I got all my records from my attorney and read them. I've had consistent psychiatric treatment since 2006 and psychotherapy since 2010. Both of these providers agree I cannot work but their medical records suck.
