[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 304950, member: 1963"] Paula, it took me three years to get my SSDI and I had to go before a judge as well. Then I had to wait another month for her decision. I dealt with not only a judge, but a vocational expert and a court appointed doctor. I really didn't believe I'd get it. Not only did I get substantial backpay, but due to my having been judged to have been disabled effective to my original filing date, I got medicare immediately as well. Before that my only source of income was a small widow's pension from the VA. I was lucky in that I had VA medical insurance. I still do but with the Medicare as my primary and the VA as my secondary, I get much better coverage now. You having nothing to lose. [/QUOTE]
