Gotcha about the SSI versus SSDI. I made too much money for Mark to get it too.
Are you familiar with the impairment listings for CF. I'm pretty sure you already meet them with your hospital admittances. <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.socialsecurity.gov/disability/professionals/bluebook/3.00-Respiratory-Adult.htm

How often do you have sputum cultures done? Are you ever put on nebulized tobi or colistin, or IV antibiotics (either at home or the hospital)? If so, how often? The easiest impairment listing to meet is the 3.04C
I agree beth is fantastic, in fact, I have gotten 100% of everything I know about this process from her. That coupled with our experiences (5 denials, 27 months and 1 federal hearing...) give me a lot of info to share with others. Inspite of the fact that she's fantastic, I'm free and she's not.
I would really encourage you to allow me to assist you first (with this initial application) and if you get denied this first time (which is VERY likely), help you with the appeal. I'm only saying this because of the $$$ involved. I'm free, she's not.
I have some documents to forward to you to help you start keeping track of your respiratory infections/neblulized or IV antibiotics as a result, and some general "good to know" information. Can you PM me with your email address or email me at division902@verizon.net?
