[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 547585, member: 1514"] Tedo...dont worry about that letter...APPEAL! Dont reapply. Please listen to me. Please. I beg of you. I got a letter something like that back in 03 and cried my eyes out and decided not to appeal it because it said that: Janet can do xyz in a normal manner. The kicker was when they said that I handled stress in appropriate manners the same way as most adults of my age. I was absolutely stunned at that statement. I honestly didnt know many people who cut themselves or who kicked holes into their walls. How many people do you know that have thrown entire everything on the kitchen counters out of the windows? But evidently that was handling stress appropriately. I decided to throw in the towel and try to get a job. I worked my tail off. I finally got an interview at a place that would have actually been perfect for me because the hours were in my peak times for being awake and pretty on my good game. I would be working from 3 to 10. Pretty darned good for me and it was as a call taker at night. I would have loved it. Well, I obviously was completely honest with these people about my health issues and the fact that I took medication including pain medication which at that time was only lorcet and I took my psychiatric medications which included ambien and one benzo, I cant remember which one now. I brought in copies of my prescriptions from my pharmacy as well as a letter from my doctor's saying that I was under treatment and these were medically prescribed. They wouldnt look at either letter. I was also told they were going to do a back ground check on me only going back 7 years. They did one on me going back 15 years showing that I bounced a check that many years ago. I had already been offered the job. Been given my hours. Gone through orientation. They claimed it was my background check. I know it was the drug screening because they refused to allow me to give them those doctors notes. So anyway....I reapplied. It took me years. I got a lawyer. we went to a hearing which is what you go to after you have been denied twice. When I got before the judge he was ticked off as all get out. The doctor from SS himself had advised to approve me back in 2003 but they denied me anyway. The Judge asked me if I would accept his apology and be okay with my benefits going back to that day?
