An update that requires me to thank GOD for all his blessings and to thank the prayer warriors for all their prayers. I was just informed...my disability was approved. We don’t have an amount yet, we don’t know how far back they are going to go...we just know that it is approved and I should get my letter giving me the news and the amounts by Friday. Also, I will not get the money right away, it will take several weeks for that to come through.
I did JUST get the information that my onset date is going to be less than one year as the doctor is blind (not literally) and can’t see where my disability is older than September of last year...and there is a 4 or 6 month waiting period from the onset before benefits will be paid...so you are expected to be disabled 4 or 6 months before you can receive benefits. There is a 2 year waiting period before you qualify for medical benefits...so I will definitely need prayers that my current medicaid continues through until then.
Also, I am using the wrist splints (actually the left one so far, and waiting for the right one) and will try that for 6 to 8 weeks and see if that helps. If not, I guess the next option will be surgery. I hate to think of doing that again...but I can’t do the shots and I have to try to stop the pain.
Continued prayers appreciated. God Bless you all and thank you so much for the prayers!
Continued prayers for you, FRiend! :-)
Missed you on the thread ping. Here is the most recent (just this morning) update on my prayer needs (post 910). Thank you so much for the prayers!
BTTT
Prayers for you, trussell.
Good news! That should take some stress off of you.
Continued prayers.
Hooray, approval is more than half the battle!
I was just wondering how you’re doing last night, t. Your ears were burning.
You are always in my prayers.
We praise Thee o Lord for the progress in overcoming the bureaucracy and having the disability status approved.
We pray for complete healing of Thy longsuffering servant.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
I’m glad to hear a few things are starting to happen to give you a little relieve. Surely this has been very good news for you.
Did a judge have to overturn the ruling? I have a friend who had to get an attorney and I think you said you did at some point.

Very glad you got good news!
Praise God!!!
Wonderful! Prayers continue.
So glad you got some response to your disability claim! I hope it doesn’t take too long for you to begin to get paid. You’ve suffered for a long time now!
God bless, Twin! ((((hugs))))
So nice to see you getting a break!! I know how difficult it can be, that the bureaucrats who make these decisions don’t understand just how long 4-6 months, much less two years can be to a disabled person. In retrospect you should have told them you are a drug addict. You’d have gotten help faster. Alas, help IS on the way, praise God!!!
Good news :) ...thanks for the wonderful update! I pray things will finally work out for you.
Are you hopeful about being able to get yourself and your son away from that abusive living situation?
Praise GOD! WAHOOO!!!
