Seek legal assistance.  In many places (US) this type of legal assistance is free.

First of all, never never quit.  Look carefully at the reason given for denial, and then take it step by step building all your evidence that will support your position.  When you have everything in order, then resubmit your claim because you will receive benefits for which you are entitled.  That is the law, and no one representative has the power to deny you what is right.

consider contacting the Disabled American Veterans, The Shriners or perhaps a local community service agency

you need to talk to your doctor, if he has documented you disabilities it's you doctors reports that persuades SSI your need for benefits.  By all means file, and put your doctors name as physician, as it was explained to me the Doctor's report is a deciding factor, SSI will send you to a doctor of their choice, for a second opinion,  As it was explained to me you are not expected to take a job of night clerk or anything.  If you are disabled where you cannot do the work you have been trained to do you are disabled.  I wasn't expecting to get disability, but my income had decreased due to working at a lower level, but could not continue and my income reflected the lower level, so got disability within a month.  Health insurance was a problem had to wait to get on medicare,

CHILD abuse eh?  You say you are 22 yrs old - this is not a child.   You also write very well for someone with the disabilities you listed. \n\nOK - assuming that you are who you say you are....... Go to the police.   Take the person who typed for you - obviously you are comfortable enough with them and trust them with your 'history'.   Take them along for moral support.\n\nRemember, it is a criminal offense to make a false report, but if you are telling us the truth, you need to report it to the police and see that justice is served.

I receive SSD,it took me two years to finally be approved.You can count on them denying your claim at least once.Mine was denied twice,then I had to get a lawyer and go to court.I have known some people who it has taken even longer to receive benefits than two years.If you do not have a legitimate disability,you will never get approved.You also have to be out of work because of your disability to even apply.Best advice is to get a lawyer before you even apply the first time,they will tell you if you even have a case worth fighting for.

My father is registered disabled but he had some difficulty in getting the authorities to recognise it in the beginning.    He had to apply a second time.  He has ankolosing Spondilitus which is basically fusion of the bones in the spine, he had treatment for this condition when he was younger which made it worse.  Sometimes he is fine and can do a lot more than you say you can do, however when he has a bad day he cant even walk.\n\nI think you should apply again to be registered disabled and maybe get some advice from the Citzens Advice Bureau, they are brilliant with helping to fill in forms, and often the right choice of words can make a difference to the application.\n\nIts difficult to advise on sorting out the weakness on your right side as I do not know what has caused them, I guess it could have been a stroke, which often leaves weakness on one side of the body, sometimes these cannot be rectified and only your doctor can advise you of this, go back to your doctor and talk about your problems, what you want to be able to do, what you can and cant do and get them to advise on what else they can do to help you and what you can do to help yourself.  \n\nI know you may feel you have done this before but I'm afraid you have to keep on to get people to notice what your life is really like.\n\nGood luck

I believe 1 year. The law has changed! You have to be disabled 6 months before you are eligible.

I am pretty much faced with the same situation.  I have been denied SSI and SSD.  I have reapplied for it.  I too have a physical disablity that is preventing me from doing a job.  I really don't have any answers for you.  I have applied from everything from being a walmart greeter to a receptionist.  I can not do any job where any walking or standing or climbing stairs is involved as I do not have the use of one leg and can not stand, or walk without the assistance of bilateral forearm crutches.  I have been turned down for everything but to prove it is because of the disability is impossible unless they specifically say it is.  I can only suggest you volunteer someplace to see if you can actually do the work.  I would also keep bugging soc. sec. to get you the help that you are requesting.  Don't leave until you get to talk to a person.

I can't tell you much except sympathize with your situation, and tell you from personal experience that whether social security grants or refuses your claim has nothing to do with your condition.  They twice refused my husbands claim when he was diabetic, had two heart conditions, a half dozen other problems, and within a year was declared 140% disabled by the V.A.  They want you to hire a lawyer, and assign up to a third of your benefits pending to him.  I believe it is crooked as can be.  I knew people with arthritis and little else to agree to the lawyer rip off and get S.S. about the same time.  All I can tell you is they will answer for it.  Cold comfort when you're broke and hurting, isn't it.  Try a Church for immediate help, and probably better agree to their rip off.  You usually get it when you do.

A year for the enhanced rate, but you can apply for Disability Living Allowance after six months.  \n\nIts up to you to make sure you get your medical note in on time, simple enough, as you can see the date on the previous one.  Your claim won't be closed if your note is a couple of days late, as doctors often will not issue a new certificate until after the date the old one expired.

Contact the ACLU in your area.  If you are being denied treatment, The law is being broken.  Although you did not say what it is you are being denied treatment for.  If it is a serious disability, the law says you must be able to seek treatment.  If you have no insurance, contact your local social services department and try to get help from them.

well sorry but it will take a while to get an approval for disability ( if you get approved at all)  my friend who has a serious illness was declined twice, had to get an attorney and took three years to finally get approved ( he got all the back pay though)\n\nBut you have to start with social service, go talk to one of the case workers,  they will have perhaps food stamps ( EBT cards)  and at times some emergency money for rent and utilities.
