Applying for Social Security Disability - Part 1

Over the past year, PH community members have collaborated with the SSA to create a training video on PH for SSA adjudicators. This video highlights common PH types, symptoms and diagnostic tests.

Thanks for this post of the SS system and how to navigate through it. I refiled after a couple of days and found an organization to help me with the paperwork that helps for free do the forms. The fraud and abuse here in Oregon needs to be delt with now and not give people with no physical problems or mental disorders SS and VR needs to not tell their clients that a disability is only MRDD people. There are many other physical disorders other than being MRDD. VR is making severe cuts now.

@PamelaRP If you don't like it, then support the tea party and vote to abolish the whole system. No handouts for anyone.

I hate the SS system and all these videos are nothing but lies on here. The entire SS a fraud and gives it to people who do not need it and can get around rather than people like me with severe arthritis and emotional problems and cannot walk or function. I hate the system and know too many people that have NO physical problems and are getting SS checks and more than one. I hate the SS system and know nothing will change about it and until it does many people that are frauding SS will get it.

The entire SS system is messed up and a total fraud and people that are not even physically disabled are getting huge checks and can do all these things. This person I know can drive a car, she can bowl,ride a bike and can do all these things around her house and she gets a big check yet I cannot even walk due to severe arthritis and have severe depression and cannot get it because I worked last year. SS used a 8 month scale and made my SGE average higher than it should of been. SS is a fraud.
