Legal and Disability Issues

[Guest guest]

I have just joined this group to give me access to 'tried and true' info for

legal disability-related and Disability issues. My understanding is that his

group is for all English-speaking nations.

 

I suggest that all of you whom have legal issues, whether they are

about disability or not, join this group - well if the legal issues have

anything to do with or are significantly effected by your disability.

Description

The purpose of Disinissues is to share experience and advice about the

processes of obtaining and maintaining Social Security Disability Insurance

(SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and long-term disability insurance.

 

The group is targeted mainly towards those with invisible disabilities, such

as CFIDS and other conditions not on Social Security's Listing of

Impairments.

 

Disinissues messages are available as individual email messages or in digest

format.

 

************ Messages cannot be read on the web. ************

 

Please do not send a message before you receive and read the Welcome

Message and Group Guidelines, also available in Files.

 

Answers to frequent questions are in the Links and Files sections. Please

look there first! Please do not use email messages to ask for basic information

provided in Links and Files.

 

The group was created by and for patients with disabling medical conditions;

if you are not involved in a benefits process for yourself or a family

member, please identify yourself to the moderators and explain what your

purpose

is for joining. Benefits professionals are welcome only if they are here to

learn or to help.

 

Although sharing experience with disability claims is indeed very

supportive, Disinissues is not a support group. Messages about the emotional

difficulty

of the transition from work to disability, or, generally, what it means to

live with disabling illness, are not on-topic. Chit chat or discussion of

personal, financial, or medical matters, including Medicare, is not permitted.

**** Messages are not only moderated but strictly edited. ****
