Well the attorney was very happy about how the hearing went. But now I’m just waiting on the letter from the judge. I was sweating it until there guy said that there isn’t any job I could do. The attorney had me talk about how I was sick and out on disability in 99 before I got laid off in 2000, when they moved the work to another state. I started getting sick about 95. I had 6 weeks of vacation a year so I used it when I was sick or once I qualified I used the Family leave Act. I haven’t been able to work since more or less. A non-profit that I had volunteered for received a grant and I earn $800 for a couple of months. Even though the Dr kept after me to file, I didn’t feel I was bad enough, that I should be working that was the way I was raised. I had worked for 27 years at the same company. I’m almost 57 years old and single. I have a son that lives in Cal and I’m in Okla. He is a great son and he works very hard but he is trying to build his own business.
The attorney said that my Rhemumy Dr had written a great letter regarding my problems. I told him that it was my Dr that had kept after me to go for the disability. I started in 02 but when I was denied then I didn’t appeal it. I keep thinking I would get better and return to work, but that didn’t happen. I filed again in 05 and was denied twice before I got my hearing. Now it all depends on if I’ll get it and how far back I just hope the judge doesn’t take that long to make up his mind. I only have enough money to get by for a couple of more months.
