Hello everyone .
just got my denial letter , diabetic, peripheral neuropathy both legs,not as bad in my hands, also have this thing called charcot arthropathy , tho they caught it early so my foot didnt drop, currently in a crow boot , have lymphedema in that leg also, lightly in my other leg , swollen lymph node, im on a couple scripts for pain ,also on lyrica, high blood pressure, cholesterol, arthritis in back, taking insulin for when sugars are high, and lantus at night. coronary artery disease, gull stones , it says in my hospital notes ,but when i was in the hospital they never told me about the heart thing i found that when i was looking at my medical records , nice huh? LOL
anyways now that i kinda painted a picture here, my denial letter said with my 11th grade education , and i can independently walk with a cane , tho i cant do what i was doing, but it does not keep me from doing less physically demanding work ..
i do have a lawyer and in pa the next step is to see a judge , so i will be 48 when that happens , do you think the judge will take that i am close to 50 ? i only had to jobs in my life and i think they wanted a report of the last 15 years and i almost made that with the current job as a warehouse worker kinda job , and a mechanic all labor jobs on the feet jobs ,
i really couldn't believe they denied me but as the same i expected it, i am pretty nervous about sitting in front of the judge because i don't explain things very well , and when i spoke through email with the lawyers helper so to speak , they said the only time i will meet her is when i meet her at the hearing, she will do most of the speaking but i will have to speak on things as well and that's the part where i go ok don't you think i should meet with her before the day lol
also if my lawyer finds something in my medical reports that meet any of the listings can they file something to ssa saying that ? or once its been reviewed by ssa that's it ?
OK last thing , sorry to drag this out , what paper work does the judge get ? does he review the function report i did for ssa? or the medical records that was sent to ssa ? are these judges medical judges ?
thank you in advance ...
