NAACP in Minnesota st.paul forced landlords to evicted us disabled people no matter what are race is. There clients lost there housing vouchers for lifetimes years ago and I being a scapegoat due to landlords who went to public housing vouchers office supervisor Alexis informed me Lynne. There clients lied saying that I am a mentally retardation person which is far from the truth. Im 100% biracials discrimination against us by African American people who hate crime us biracials people are not whittys and retardation person which you allowed others to do that to us.
Question About SSA Charging $123 for Notice of Award Hi, I hope you can help me clarify something. I’ve been receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits since January 2022, after being declared disabled. Recently, I requested a Notice of Award from the SSA because I need it for a legal matter. However, I was told I would have to pay $123 for the document, which surprised me. I’ve already received a Benefit Verification Letter, which provides details like my original approval date and retroactive payments, but this isn’t the document I need. The Notice of Award is important to me because it formally establishes my disability status, the reasons I was declared disabled, and the medical approval notes regarding my condition. Can you confirm if this fee is standard or if it might be a mistake? Is there a specific process I should follow to request this document without incurring such a high charge? I want to ensure I’m taking the correct steps to obtain the necessary paperwork. Thank you so much for your time and guidance.
Retired teacher here. The problem is that there is NO discipline nor consequences for violent behavior. Teachers are quitting in droves!
My country need. 444 million diligently Buses for people can't walk and talk and blind and kids for My country of Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nice educational video .....thank You
Would participating in a paid medical study reduce my SSDI benefits? I will be earning 360 per month.
How we report to social security? It has a form or just write down?
The housing authority told me that they don't do anything for disabilities at the complex that i reside in when asking for handicap parking.
"De-concentrate poverty" Translation: give a certain group a better chance to do what they do best.
More opportunity for plaintiffs' attorneys and frivolous lawsuits.
And what happens when the school bypasses all of that. Sends us straight to court and the judge just gives us fines. My son has an iep and we have been to court 4x in 3 years. And one of the times was bc the principal just didn’t want to accept the doctors note 😮
Hi there! Go to ndrn.org and look up your local state protection and advocacy organization for people with disabilities. They should have knowledge specific to your state's regulations and be able to answer some of your questions. We have an online get help form, as well as advocate-on-call days at our Virginia office for this purpose.
www.dlcv.org/get-help
How do you know when you're approved?
what a load of nothing
My doctor has me documented as full disability an can't work. Can i still lose my ssdi?
Hi Phyllis! These are great questions. For advice and help for your specific case, complete our get help form or call-in during advocate-on-call hours: www.dlcv.org/get-help
If you lose your medicade, will you lose your SSDI?
Is of right now CDRs are indefinitely stopped
How do you know this?
thers very little support this is bs
Hi there, Nancy. If you'd like more resources regarding housing discrimination, you can call during our advocate-on-call hours, fill out our online get help form, or reference our housing resources to learn more. I'll link those for you here. We hope you get the supports you need!

there all asking how much this info is false income credit score refrences
How can s.s. terminate my SSI benefits when they calculated my income from my part time job and my disability benefits wrong?? I only make 770.00 a month at my job and 601.00 in benefits. Am I over the limit??
Nominated me for disabled.
The letter is on the ssa.gov website you can print it at anytime!
Thank you for this explanation ! I didn’t know that there were disability advocates. I don’t live in Virginia, but that is a good thing to know also. ❤ This makes no sense. I’m currently living with my parents and just was approved for SSI and they did this 1/3 deduction even though I told them that I planned to pay them back as much as I could for the last couple of years. But as soon as I start getting money, I planned to pay part of the household expenses. But if you can’t afford the equal😂 percentage because It’s more than the allotted amount, how does it make any sense to then not give you the full amount at all? You still have to pay, nothing they do makes any sense. Like they had asked my mother if I was paying them rent and she said “she can’t she doesn’t have any income”. I just don’t get it if I were renting an apartment they wouldn’t want to know the total of the landlords expenses. I was looking at their written explanations, and their examples are ridiculous as far as how much things actually cost. Like a total household of five having $1500 in expensive including rent and food and everything . Where in the world does thathappen? Her They are SO under how things really are now. I’m very happy to have gotten approved for this and wish that I had applied sooner because I could’ve gotten SSDI. But I don’t understand how you prove that you are permanently and completely disabled, but then they don’t give you enough money to live at all and any money you make is subtracted from what they give you. And if you’re not not paying what they consider your fair share, but you’re paying more than what they’re subtracting for living with someone else it’s just a weird catch 22 and I don’t know what kind of bureaucrats make these idiotic rules and standards.

THE USA ???
We Help The Other Side Of The World !!! HMMM 🤔🇺🇲 ???
Medications Are NOT HELPFUL For ALL CONDITIONS .
I was approved for SSDI at age 61 and my Award letter said absolutely nothing about a CDR. I am now 63 and since I didn't receive a notification of review, is that saying they expect "no improvement" in my case? I have RA. I also did not receive anything concerning Ticket to Work either. Thx
My GOD
? ?
OH, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED.
There I know it’s been a few years since you made this video but I just found it. I currently have been receiving disability SSDI for two years. I just reread my form and I think I may be up for a review. It shows somewhere in the paper that you said to look at in 24 months but then it also stated between five and seven years, so I’m not really sure I was disabled with chronic fatigue, which is an incurable and actually I haven’t had any improvement, so are you saying that the best shot for me to continue benefits is only going to be able to be with medical proof meaning I’ve reached out to my doctor we’ve tried things and there is still no ongoing or treatment available that would improve my physical stamina the only actual medical intervention that they can offer is basically coping mechanisms, basicallybreathing exercises meditation SRI just to treat how I feel about having this disease but not actually anything that is going to prove my overall function. Is there anything else other than medical documentation that I should be doing considering there really isn’t anything else I could do to improve my review. Thank you so much. I hope this gets to you.
Why promote a law that no village or small town will enforce. People are donating millions of dollars to the ADA and all they do is make up ads. How about enforcing the laws and teaching the mayors of these small towns that they HAVE the authority to go onto that business property and ticket those who do not have a disability plaque or tag. Even the State Highway Patrol in Mississippi refuse to do anything about it.
71st and all of this stuff
I would love to connect with this organization
More education and training is fine, but when a man is running at you saying “I’ll kill you”, after being tased and there’s no effect, mental health has nothing to do with the officers or others safety. No officer is going hand to hand with a man out of his mind. He could of easily taken the officers gun, killed him and who knows who else. These people down playing threat are insane and let’s not forget the officer was black as well! So hijacking this for other agendas is just sad. It’s a tragedy but there’s no bad guy. Some people can’t handle that.
I kept my ssdi because of the grid law the code was 202.09 I am 54 I have mental and physical issues since 2017... I hope this help people like me after 50 years old.... God bless
Hi, I got my disability in 2018 Major Depresion, Phycosis and anxiety, I'm your same age, I turn 54 in June! Im not sure I understood your comment! You talk about Grid Law, What is that? Also I wanted to ask you..have you gotten the form in the mail? I got mine yesterday and thank God is the short form which I'll take to my doctor so I make sure I don't make a mistake, I'm a little nervous but then again the questions are very simple questions. Would like to hear from you so you can explain a little better what you meant in your comment. Thank you.

Can I work for my wife I'm getting disability
Overwhelmed emotionally . COSTLY,tring to keep organized .knowledge of being the brokenegg unable to keep up .the simplest task takes all energy 10times the time stress .Depression I,Never can recall explain,or communicate .Having to accept ,feeling I cant become more than I am .We Wear out and also employee s repeating ,needing help Frustrating to both .The cost replacing what's lost is painfully REAL Also add cover cost instead of trolly Uber. Must go hours early or risk,high stress any new change to add. Having to hide pain .Risk working to hide pain slipped off shoe . Back pain causing alot more need of meds . I found it's definitely difficult with not finding the job ...causing alot more harm than good needing to jump into users caused by new locations Keep simple ,not changing the routine a must. I am sooo aware Truth Losing or having to cover by spending just to get to work effects your health .Realizing Time sheets ,normal tasks cost me also Tring to fit in Can't .My confidence and feeling you can do this as time facts show more loss than gain. TBI what I believe We now have hope with AI Everyone's cost of needing special placements to fit our health needs Its now possible .I tried to tell more for full understanding.TBI we are Replaced easy which has cost shame medicating facing overwhelming self hate pain .Regardless . Losing everything is not the ill pain that stirring its unable to rewind my lose son, boys how to connect 💔 I cause exhaustion . I want to find a job .I don't want to be that person who medicates without a life . will spend extra funds from needs of returning home from forgetting .I would not be able to find my location costing me spending on users which removes almost point of going . I found having to replacing over and over my items I lost making no sense putting in extime The knowing you don't fit in socially hurts the most .I found caused more pain felt by being disconnected .I can't follow even normal conversations such recalling movies , normal things I wished mentally and physically NOT healthy . I can't say this enough with TBI it's stressful because norm simple tasks Noone thinks about are huge to be consistent . Being taken advantage or misunderstood mistakes from confused or embarrassed asking to repeat to show me again frustrating to both . What's needed is rewarding or allowing us to keep more the hard work money.Its tring to work than losing caused of overwhelming stress from lost , confused, scared . It's lonely being odd as a broken egg. I fear being rejected .perhaps AI has answers . AI TEACHING HOW TO CONNECT SAY SORRY REPAIR TO MOVE UP . I SO WANT TO GIVE BACK FOR ALL THE SUPPORT SSDI HAS GIVEN ME.
Maybe school should teach us about this
what if you receive ssdi and have a review that ssdi believes you can work, but while first collecting benefit -you have been diagnosed with early onset of dementia at age 58 -go to doctors/specialists memory loss, migraines, anxiety, depression, very sensitive
Thank you
What happens when you are 64 and health is not improving
As a former psych nurse practitioner it makes me so angry that people get disability for minor psych issues but yet someone with a major physical disability can’t get it. People shouldn’t be getting disability for minor depression or minor bipolar. It’s outrageous. It’s also disgusting people getting it for fibromyalgia, yet a person with severe heart disease can’t get
you can advocate for those who need it and face injustice without assuming that you know someone else doesn't deserve help.
This may be a difference between workforce and school accommodations, but in a work setting cost isn’t considered an “undue hardship.” I would think that would apply to schools as well, as they get government funding, and qualify for grants- many of which would cover the cost of any ADA accommodations or modifications needed.
Thk u so much ❤🙏
