In this episode, I answer two questions that relate to activities in the State Agency adjudication offices:
Question 1 is from a gentlemen named Ron, who writes "we received a letter from SSA it states that the medical requirements have been met for disability benefits. then states we realize you stopped working on 10/05/2006 when they apply the SS rules to the medical evidence we find your condition did not prevent you from working until 3/19/2007. they says they have not made a decision about meeting non- medical requirements and they will shortly, what could that mean?"

In this episode I answer two listener questions. The first question has to do with eligibility for Title II benefits. Terrilyn writes to say that her SSDI statement shows that she does not have 20 credit hours of work and that she last worked in 1995. Is there any way that she would be eligible for SSDI. The answer is "yes" and I explain how. The second question is from Christy and she writes to say that she has been diagnosed with MS, and that she applied and was turned down several years ago. She has been trying to work since then with limited success and now her condition has worsened. Should she apply again and what issues might she face.

In this episode, I answer two questions: 1. Gladys writes to say that she has bilateral carpel tunnel syndrome but has been turned down twice by Social Security. She has returned to work and has been able to work because of regular shots she is getting from her doctor. Gladys will be retiring in June, 2006 and wants to know if she has a chance at winning 2. Sandy writes to say that she has been working part time for several years and only has 18 credits and therefore does not meet the non-medical qualifications for Title II. I assume that her husband earns enough that Sandy would not qualify for SSI. She wants to know what she should do to try to qualify for Title II disability.
