I have been trying for over a year now to get SSD. I have been denied because I can still think.I would have never thought having a brian would be held against me. I have several problems and deal with a ton of pain. It is so bad that a lot of times I can not even pick up our 21 month old son. Who will hire me if I can come to work because I in so much pain that I can not hardly move. What is really sad is that I know people that are known drug user that got approve with no problem. Is that what I have to get it ? I have work for everything I have and paid into to social security. Why am I having such a hard time ?
