Filing for SSDI

I need to file for SSDI and I am scared to death. I have everything wrong with me plus I see a shrink. I think I will go straight to a lawyer as my fibro fog and anxiety level is terrible. I am so stressed and I tried to find a lawyer today with no luck. I must hurry as I will not have enough money to live on. I was told to list all ailments, etc. Does anybody have any "lucky" advice for me? Please, I need all of you more than ever now......Gentle hugs, Tawny.

Hi Tawnycat,

Did you look for a lawyer on the internet? Have you tried doing a search for "CA Lawyer - Disability"? I hope you can find one that way. Having a lawyer makes it so much easier. Most lawyers that handle disability claims only get paid a percentage of your back disability payment.

Keep us informed on how you make out. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Gentle Hugs

Hi Tawnycat, If you are able get that Lawyer or there are some groups out there as well. I use Allsup, I found them online and they are terrific. They have done everything. I know a few ladies on here have used them as well, one recently winning her case. Hang in there and get someone to represent you so you won't have the added stress. Keep us posted. Take care. Hugs, Robin
