Fear of the uknown

I agree with you a hundred percent. An ALJ is an administrative law judge. They are suppose to understand your situation and listen to determine whether you can go back to work or if that’s just not possible. My lawyer got me this date after the old stubborn judge denied me. The old judge was going to do everything in his power to prevent me from reapplying for disability but now since he has nothing to do with the case he can’t prevent me from reapplying if I have too. Social Security diagnosed me as having “severe depression” and I don’t know the factors that led up to that. It seemed like the old judge was having a bad day and he would not listen to me and he just wanted to get out of there. Even went as far to challenge the fact I had nothing on record from my family when they were the ones who kept telling them what happened because I have no memory of it. So I challenged the authority of that judge and won. That old judge was going to over see my case again but he moved so now I have a new judge and will have to travel to Clearwater. Now I have seizures. We think they’re Pal Mal. I’ve always called them zone outs and I’m on medication for those. SSI was my only form of income and I was specifically told that I cannot work when I was in Mississippi. What messed me up was the ticket to work. Don’t ever get on that. I haven’t been having any since I’ve been on the medication. The State of Florida is trying to tell me that my condition has improved and it seems like nobody is listening or paying attention. I’ve been telling them the same thing since I got disability. That there’s been no change so I wonder how they can get a report of no change to has improved. Luckily my wife was able to get me on her insurance but I won’t know anything until after November 5th and there’s a chance I could get back up to 2 years back pay even though it’s been three. Social Security is trying to get me to pay 25 grand that I don’t have as well. That will go away if I win and if I lose I will have to work and they’ll take my taxes. But this process has been stressful and on Nov 6th I’ll update you guys and gals. I appreciate you taking the time out to listen and also appreciate you responding as well

@TampaxMemphis I have started having seizures. They are stress seizures and they come on unexpectedly. I'm on medication for them and was in the hospital for two days at the end of July for them. Part of the problem from the seizures that I had in July is that they did more damage to my neck. We visited the state of Florida twice and noticed that they march to the beat of their own drummer. They are very different to say the least. They are saying that your condition has improved so they don't have to put out the money that they don't have to pay out. See if your attorney can get your records from your doctors in Mississippi. They should help a LOT. Also another pain in the rear is moving from one state to another. I live in California and as much as I would like to move to a cheaper state to live in, I don't dare for the effects it would have on my disability. With the kind of seizures you have I would believe that you really wouldn't be able to be hired at most kinds of jobs. First of all they would need to be able to get insurance on you and that would be next to impossible, even if you're on medication that controls the seizures most of the time. Also you can't really handle a job where you are handling heavy equipment, heavy lifting, driving vehicles and so much more. Most employers want you to be able to handle a plethora of jobs... I would suggest that if you don't win on the 5th of November that you go to a higher authority, the state senate with your problem. Don't stop fighting, you have a valid case.

I hope you won’t ever have to go through it either.
