Are you working at all? Most states have higher income threasholds for the "working disabled". What state are you in?

Of the 54 cases DAFCF has taken on from initial application and eventually won, 49 were denied on initial application. Of those 49, 36 were denied on first appeal. Of those 36 some were won in a subsequent appeal, and others were won in a hearing (some states allow for a 2nd appeal at the DDS...

Muscle, Jen gets her home infusion covered because her medicaid picks it up. Medicare does NOT cover those services. Do you think you might qualify for medicaid? I can assist you with the application process if you would like.

If you are currently receiving SSI, it will NOT change simply because you turn 18. What state do you live in? Many have different income limits for healthcare for the "Working disabled", so if you are considered disabled but are working a bit, the income threasholds are higher to still...

If your SSDI payment is low enough (well under $650 a month) then you can also collect SSI, however it's rare that peoples SSDI is that low. It should have been 24 months from the time you were eligible for SSDI, not a year... you got lucky...

Jennifer, if you are on SSI as well as SSDI then you would have had to apply for both (and the application for SSI is not online), received separate decision letters on both, and in *most* circumstances, would be issue 2 separate payments each month for them. Have you not been on SSDI long...

It is worth nothing that the Continued Medicaid Eligibility (Section 1619(B)) applies only to SSI recipients and not ssdi recipients. This is because those on SSDI are eligible to receive medicare 24 months after being on SSDI, although this is such a crappy thing because not everyone has...

No worries Frank. Personally I blame the damn SSA for naming the programs the way they did. I think its a strategy to get people confused so they screw up their own benefits..

The CF center at the UW is horrible, I'll just leave it at that. Mark gave up on them many years ago and now sees Dr. Wood for MOST of his treatment (he still does UW like once a year, but NOT when he needs IMMEDIATE care). Try contacting her, and tell her you were referred by the Raysbrook's...

Frank is incorrect, if you are on SSI and work, each $2 you make will DIRECTLY reduce your SSI benefits. If you are on SSDI you can have up to 9 trial work months in a rolling 60 month period before your benefits are discontinued. A trial work month in 2011 is any month in which your earnings...

Jeana, I can work on one for you but I need to see your exact denial, and a copy of your benefits booklet. If you can get that to me, I can assist you. All my contact info is on www.dafcf.org

Have you requested a retroactive out of network authorization yet? If not, I'd go that route first while simultaneously appealing their decision. My initial reaction is to tell you that you are likely screwed, however, if there is a loophole, my organization can usually find it. If you would...
