In fact, I have seen many claimants become severely depressed after the recession in 2008 and just could not snap out of it.<br /><br />Psych problems are real if not objectively provable unless getting a report from a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist. <br /><br />Doing this for 10 years, the majority of my cases are either 1. back 2. psych. Why? My hunch is the medical community has problems CURING these problems. They can TREAT it but not cure it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-46994957685243881262015-10-08T16:37:58.602-04:002015-10-08T16:37:58.602-04:00After 10 years doing this as an SSD/SSI rep, the m...After 10 years doing this as an SSD/SSI rep, the majority of my cases are either back/lumbar and psychological cases. Why? My hunch is the medical community is below par in actually healing/treating these conditions.<br /><br />Listing 1.04 for the back is a perfect example. SSA always makes it harder on a disability when more people are filing. Look at the abolishment of the diabetes listing 9.08. More fat people get severe diabetes so let's make it harder.<br /><br />Hope the new psych listings are somewhat fair. But the cynic in me knows they will not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-56552680406775184592015-09-29T15:15:02.581-04:002015-09-29T15:15:02.581-04:00I meant Anonymous 12:11.

They can understand blind, deaf, mobility impairments like paraplegic or quadraplegics, but once you move into invisible disability, people are viewed as frauds and fakes.<br /><br />Pain, skeletal disorders, cardiac conditions just do not have the visual clues for American thoughts on disability. Mental illness is even worse. Depression is viewed as being sad, "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" or "Put on your big girl panties and move on." Bipolar disorder, personality disorders, schiz,and the rest are beyond understanding. They are crazy not disabled. The stigma is so deep that people prefer to think these people are faking symptoms to get a benefit more than they would a physical disorder.<br /><br />Slow roll on mental conditions, you bet! No one in the country wants to deal with the mentally ill, in person, in legislation, or policy. We prefer they just go away someplace like we hope nuke waste, trash, sewage and other nasty things in life just go away from our view.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
