Hi Tree,
I joined a while back but never wrote or chatted on here. I have recently been diagnosed with it. I worked hard and had a disability lawyer, but it stressed my physical limitations, reasons I can't work in an office computer desk job and with people / customer service anymore. I lost many jobs. I was diagnosed with Asperger's a year after the initial hearing. My appeal was denied and I am not quitting. I will have to see an doctor for an evaluation and focus on my emotional issues, Asperger's and social anxiety problems. Maybe my focusing on the Asperger's I will have better chance of approval. Open to your advice. Thanx.
What reasons did they give for denial?
Did they say what sort of employment they recommend?
"I will have to see an doctor for an evaluation and focus on my emotional issues, Asperger's and social anxiety problems.
Maybe my focusing on the Asperger's I will have better chance of approval. " If the first application and appeal didn't deal
with those issues, this seems like a useful approach now.
Describing the circumstance of each job loss also would be useful.
Specifically, not in general terms.
Any paperwork that SS gives you, fill out, in detail.
The details may require using additional pages, beyond those
few blanks the SS forms allow.
Carrying an outline with you to your doctor appointment is
a good idea.
Anytime you have to write or tell a person about your experience,
make the description as vivid as you can, so that the picture is
real in the other person's mind. Use words that show what it is to be
you.
