I had used many videos provided by Johnathan. I had my hearing and received a favorable result. Everything I heard and learned from Johnathan was spot on. Thank you again .
You helped me win my case. Without your advice about how to prepare for meetings with doctors Social Security sent me to I would have messed up. I did exactly what you said at my mental health evaluation and that`s what tipped the odds in my favor. I was able to get a camper to live in, emergency solar power, and prepare for the future in case I lose my benefits. I was homeless before and ready to live in the woods in a tent. Now I have a used 5th wheel camper on a rural family lot near a creek. I can grow food here and power a freezer and cook from solar power. Plus I can use solar to heat bath water and distill water from the creek to drink and power an electric blanket if needed. Thankfully I got the stimulus at the same time and was able to get extra things I needed so I can hopefully survive the future no matter what happens.
All this information just makes me nervous about attempting to getting SSDI. Even though I meet listings & have supporting doctors. All of this just forces people to get Medicaid, Foodstamps, Cash Assistance, Section 8, W.I.C. which at the end of the day costs more than just awarding people SSDI, it’s completely counter productive & costing the government more money it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. When you’re awarded SSDI, you then transition over to Medicare which only covers a percentage of medical bills vs Medicaid that pays 100% of ALL medical costs. Also having SSDI, gives people an income that would eliminate cash assistance, Section 8, foodstamps etc for the most part. It’s insane how backwards the Government operates.
Jonathan, I've watched a few of your videos now, and, really appreciate all your wonderful advice. I have my first hearing coming up in a few months, and, many challenges with it. I have physical pain my knees, back, and neck from a wreck, but worse is the PTSD and other mental issues like memory loss, anger, anxiety, and, depression that caused me to completely withdraw from society around ten years ago, and I've been untreated since then. I initially filed for SS about a year after the wreck, but, was denied and told I had to be like this 3yrs(hence withdrawal/anger)... I'm mainly just hoping I don't get triggered during my hearing since I don't trust Drs, judges, or even my own attny. I really don't care about people in general. I wasn't always this way. I worked hard and was the "go to guy" in my profession before I got hurt. I haven't worked a day since then. Besides just keeping mouth shut at the hearing, is their any advice you might have for a challenging case like mine?
I've watched your videos for the past 2years. My hearing is in 3 weeks and I am a nervous wreck due to having mental illness and not able to concentrate or focus. I'm afraid I am going to forget something at the hearing :(
I have a ankylosing spondylitis HLA-B27 positive had back surgery dr said misdiagnosed for so long damage is un reversible. Take remicade I am 41 years old what are my chances of getting disability app
Your chance just as good as anyone else…said with love. On the contrary the closer you are to 50 yrs old, with medical records & long work history the better your chance. Stay encouraged
What if you received a Denial Letter from SSDI......stating that you are working and make enough money.......yet, u are not working and have not worked since 10/03/2021.........and have zero income .....does a person need to fill in all the medical info .....even if you were not denied due to medical reasons....???
Hi, is it mandatory that if you live with your daughter and both of us are on the lease and SSI lowered my check saying I can't pay for half of the expensives because the rent is higher then what my check is. yet to low to pay half. Also they lowered it even more by saying I was over paid in the past. How will I live with such little Money? Can they do that?
I do handle selected SSI cases. The problem with SSI is that the deeming rules result in offsets to monthly benefits such that it is not practical to accept SSI cases under a contingency fee contract.

Thank you for taking your time to educate on the SSI/SSDI hearings.
You are very welcome - glad you find the videos helpful.

They can't take your benefits
Thank you again sir for helping me win my case. I followed your advice> "How to Prepare for Your Psychological Consultative Evaluation."

How long does the judge have after the hearing to make his decision?

Good Bless You.🙏🙏.
If you lose to an ALJ meaning he denied it what should you do?
You can appeal to the Appeals Council. I generally refer my AC cases to law firms that specialize in AC work.
👍👍
youre a very smart man
Thank you. I do my best!
Judge winters is in hot water
Are you also an SSI Attorney?
I do handle selected SSI cases. The problem with SSI is that the deeming rules result in offsets to monthly benefits such that it is not practical to accept SSI cases under a contingency fee contract.
Is this video for newbie attorneys or for SSI recipients? lol
Hopefully both will benefit.
