Guest IRARI Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 i'll get $758 monthly starting in june and about $15,800 in back-pay minus 25% to my lawyer, but i think his assistance sealed the deal this will enable me to get a used car & move towards independence i get to keep my full benefits for 1 whole yr. even with a full-time job if you ever need disability i do recommend getting a lawyer you may be turned down the first time and at reconsideration but stick with it Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/46120-i-won-my-social-security-disability-case/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would suck if you had spent that time and stuff and lost yeah i think the ones responding ambivalently or disapprovingly don't realize how debilitating paranoid schizophrenia can be and that i truly couldn't work w/o great personal & professional risk these few years.

thehauntingsoul Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I have had my share of anxiety issues and paranoia, probably nothing near what you have experienced but the sheer scope of my issues which were minor in comparison kind of shows me how bad it really could be.

Guest ms-dos Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 if any of you chucklefucks think that paranoid schizophrenia isn't disabling, go spend an hour at your local psychiatric ward and try to eavesdrop on a couple patient interviews.

Braintree Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I know a guy that's diagnosed with schizophrenia. A friend of a friend. It's really hard to have a conversation with him, plus he eats my fucking food every time he visits. Fucker.

Others might though i don't want to get too far into it but i still have aural hallucinations today primarily consisting of bad words that i hear in my mind in some settings they seem to be brought on by stress but once in a while i get visual ones like the irises of someone's eyes in a photograph being a different colour than they should be... also used to think i was god and invincible & so on.
