Dr Foster, You're the Best 🏆. I'm a disabled nurse. And can always get a good laugh watching your broadcast - although I know you aren't trying to be funny 😁. Thank you for all you do, to help us injured folks get through our process
Thanks to you, I understood the process better and was approved at reconsideration after almost 3 years of fighting. YOU also helped me find out about Dr. Stone about FND, which I was diagnosed with by my neurologist who also suggested Dr. Stone. I am grateful for your kindness, directness, and very informative videos. Many thanks!
@@DisabilityExams Kindness is free, and all too often hoarded like gold. You truly helped! I could use your videos AS reference for others who were struggling as well, I could try and not wind this whole feeling of failure into a knot at night. FND is only known by name BY my neurologist, not even my neuro-spine doctor knew about it. I thought I was going insane. If I can make your day, that is worth more than I have words for! You helped me understand not just the SSDI process, but also what was happening to me. Truly, thank you. 5/5 Gold Stars!
Hi Dr Foster: Thank you for your service! Dr,,, I was awarded a partial disability in 2015.. meaning they awarded me for a 21/2 yrs of a medical journey. At that time I had a double mastectomy and Ovaries removed and diagnosed with a rare Vascular disease so rare tht Vascular surgeons knew little about: it’s called : May Thurner.. it causes reoccurring blood clots.. I’ve had 3 very bad blood 🩸 clot incidents causing severe damage to the vein in the left leg. I was on the operating table when the Dr stopped the surgery due to how my leg was swelling up cuz I had to stop 🛑 blood thinner meds..I feel like my chances of getting perm SSI bcuz it’s not known abt in medical community due to how rare it is,,any suggestions.. it was 10 yrs ago I was diagnosed,,and this progressed
Getting Social Security employees to understand rare conditions can be a challenge. My suggestion would be to have your vascular surgeon write a letter describing the condition, it's problems, and likely future outcome. Best of luck. Keep in mind Social Security gives a lot of weight to specialist's opinions.
True. It’s from a good source of information, if you were to look it up on UA-cam, the channel is called “ Social Security disability videos “ (Ginsberg) and the title of this particular episode of his is called “Age-Related Conditions: Cases that WIN Social Security Disability” - it was uploaded about three months ago if you are searching chronologically.
Can you give some insight on a person who has severe inflammatory arthritis that also has autism and struggles to communicate ! My brother is 42 years old and lives with my parents and has been seeing a doctor for the last three years, but struggles very bad to communicate his symptoms . He has strong medical evidence, but he has a medical exam coming up and his anxiety is taking over. He doesn’t know how to communicate to the medical exam doctor how bad his symptoms are.
If a patient has severe difficulty communicating, it helps to have someone who knows them come to the exam with them to fill out the details. However, part of the exam is evaluating how the patient functions mentally, so it's important the companion not do all the talking. The ability to communicate is a work-related function, and difficulty communicating counts as a disability.
@@DisabilityExams thank you for your response. I have one more question his flareups come and go so often that he has photos that he’s going to take with him to the exam. But as of today, everything is not inflamed and swollen. Will that be sufficient tomorrow show the Dr
@234dsa hi, just to chime in, to convey what you just said, and offer images. My own condition is like a kaleidoscope of possible symptoms. The truth is the truth and will ring out as so.
Once again, I don't make the rules. If you are sincere about changing things, write your Senator and Congresspeople. I've never had anyone come back and say they did that, because it's WORK!
