I know that there are other things to qualify you, and that's where not seeing a doc hurts me. But they have a chart that goes by your hieght and there is a FEV1 # not a %. if you are at that number or below you qualify. I'm not familiar with the actual number, and was wondering what that is.

On SSI you may also be eligible for medicaid which is what i get. I have been on disability for 15 years and i am not eligible for medicare at all ( i cant remember why). But Medicaid pays all of my medicine and doctor visits. If you cant get medicare maybe you can look into getting medicaid when you go to apply for SSI. It may be different where you live, but i am sure there has to be something you can get to help out with medical costs, while on SSI.

I think that number is in liters, but I'm not sure. On the records that I get from the clinic, they have the % listed and under that they have the liter # listed. If you have had a breathing test done at the clinic, I would think they would have a record of that. I just found out last month that I was approved for disability. My last breathing score before I applied was 1.36 liters (49%). I was really expecting a denial, but I was approved. Of course, that # fell within their guidelines for approval.

Hope things work out for you.
