I have been doing so since 1997 and done much research on my own, but the 9 Step book has filled in some major gaps in my knowledge. Until now, I have never had access to any information from 'the inside.' I had only guesses about procedures based on experience with clients. This resource is a treasure!" -- From: R PursleyWith your 9 Steps to Getting Social Security Disability Individual Action Plan, you can:* Go through the disability determination process prepared for anything.* Describe your disability using the same words and terms your disability examiner and medical consultants use. You will learn how to "prove" your disability.* Know whether you have a realistic chance of winning your claim.* Get a quicker decision by knowing when to check on your claim at just the right time.* Understand the clues found in your approval (or denial) letter that will help you determine your next best course of action.* Know who to turn to for help in appealing and winning your claim if you are denied.If you want to be clear about what will or will not help you when you apply for disability as seen from the eyes of an ex disability claims examiner, then this Guide will be of tremendous assistance to you.The 9 Step guide teaches you how to present your case to the disability examiner so that he or she fully and clearly understands how your medical and/or psychological conditions limit your ability to "function" on a job, any job. And the Plan will show you what you need to do to keep the ball rolling on your claim, ensuring that you get an accurate decision in the least amount of time.Specifically, you learn:* How to prepare yourself mentally as you enter the disability determination process.* The exact terms to use when you describe the "functional limitations" that you are experiencing as a result of your impairment.* The right time to check the status of your application so your claim stays at the top of the disability examiner's stack of claims.* How to find out if you qualify for immediate, expedited disability benefits which are payable for up to six months while your claim is being processed?* How to assist in getting medical records -- which are the heart of your claim-- to your examiner if there is a lag with your doctors or specialist providers.* What vocational functions are evaluated in the assessment of your claim, and you are given a sample description of how to describe your work limitations.* Some specific medical diagnosis that SSA considers non-severe. For instance, does being blind in one eye qualify, or being deaf in one ear?* If you should try to work while awaiting a decision on your claim? The answer in Step 7 of the Guide is probably not the one that you will ever hear from your claims examiner.* And, did you know that there are clues in your "Notice of Decision" letter that SSA sends to you after your claim is decided. These clues can help you determine how to proceed whether you are approved for benefits or denied. * Finally, the bonus chapter tells you how to get on the SSA's VIP list.

Download or read book Improving the Social Security Disability Decision Process written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-05-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Security Administration (SSA) provides Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits to disabled persons of less than full retirement age and to their dependents. SSA also provides Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments to disabled persons who are under age 65. For both programs, disability is defined as a "medically determinable physical or mental impairment" that prevents an individual from engaging in any substantial gainful activity and is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. Assuming that an applicant meets the nonmedical requirements for eligibility (e.g., quarters of covered employment for SSDI; income and asset limits for SSI), the file is sent to the Disability Determination Services (DDS) agency operated by the state in which he or she lives for a determination of medical eligibility. SSA reimburses the states for the full costs of the DDSs. The DDSs apply a sequential decision process specified by SSA to make an initial decision whether a claim should be allowed or denied. If the claim is denied, the decision can be appealed through several levels of administrative and judicial review. On average, the DDSs allow 37 percent of the claims they adjudicate through the five-step process. A third of those denied decide to appeal, and three-quarters of the appeals result in allowances. Nearly 30 percent of the allowances made each year are made during the appeals process after an initial denial. In 2003, the Commissioner of Social Security announced her intent to develop a "new approach" to disability determination. In late 2004, SSA asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to help in two areas related to its initiatives to improve the disability decision process: 1) Improvements in the criteria for determining the severity of impairments, and 2) Improvements in the use of medical expertise in the disability decision process. This interim report provides preliminary recommendations addressing the three tasks that relate to medical expertise issues, with a special focus on the appropriate qualifications of medical and psychological experts involved in disability decision making. After further information gathering and analyses of the effectiveness of the disability decision process in identifying those who qualify for benefits and those who do not, the committee may refine its recommendations concerning medical and psychological expertise in the final report. The final report will address a number of issues with potential implications for the qualifications of the medical experts involved in the disability decision process.

This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speech and language are central to the human experience; they are the vital means by which people convey and receive knowledge, thoughts, feelings, and other internal experiences. Acquisition of communication skills begins early in childhood and is foundational to the ability to gain access to culturally transmitted knowledge, organize and share thoughts and feelings, and participate in social interactions and relationships. Thus, speech disorders and language disorders-disruptions in communication development-can have wide-ranging and adverse impacts on the ability to communicate and also to acquire new knowledge and fully participate in society. Severe disruptions in speech or language acquisition have both direct and indirect consequences for child and adolescent development, not only in communication, but also in associated abilities such as reading and academic achievement that depend on speech and language skills. The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program for children provides financial assistance to children from low-income, resource-limited families who are determined to have conditions that meet the disability standard required under law. Between 2000 and 2010, there was an unprecedented rise in the number of applications and the number of children found to meet the disability criteria. The factors that contribute to these changes are a primary focus of this report. Speech and Language Disorders in Children provides an overview of the current status of the diagnosis and treatment of speech and language disorders and levels of impairment in the U.S. population under age 18. This study identifies past and current trends in the prevalence and persistence of speech disorders and language disorders for the general U.S. population under age 18 and compares those trends to trends in the SSI childhood disability population.
