Filing Dissability and being a MMJ pateint

I just went in to my doctors office to talk about my meds,They changed it last week and it got me very depressed and it didnt work,also all the swimming that i been doing(well,basically light stretches and stuff in the water) I do for an hour a day,my pain has gotten worse and its really aggrevating my hip.
While we were discussing all this he looks at my chart and says "what?!....what is this?......oh! Your filing for dissability?!" I told him yeah and his mood changes,tellin me the pain will always be there and how I need to deal with it.He became kinda upset,I dunno why that would make him upset or maybe me telling him the pain meds he been prescribing me have made me Very very Depressed,but he told me to go get xrays and as Im walking out he's yelling at me to stop eating pork and not to fry my foods and other patients were just laughing cause they heard and all,so I just sorta sucked it up and laughed and joked along too,but I really want a new doctor....the only thing is this guy has my paperworks from the SSI......If when I choose a new doctor,do they normally send the SSI stuff as well?

Have the sexitary make copies of all your chart notes from your doctor and ask for copies of the ssi reports too. I would definitely find a new doctor.

Anyone know if there is a website that you can check for updates to your claim?
If there even is something like that.

Not that I know of but they should have sent you a notice as to who your claim manager is and a phone number to call them.

Right on,I got that...gonna call them today.
I just went in for another doctor appointment and I watched as he wrote down:
"will be returning to work in 3 months"

I asked him why he wrote that and he told me
"thats are goal were shooting for,no one should be out of work for 2 years,you need to go work"
I was like,:
"I cant walk more than 40 feet let alone sit down for a half hour at a time.....
He just told me,"if when 3 months comes the pain is still there and everything,then we will aim for another 3 months"

Now I am bummed because I am in a clinic with about 5 diffrent doctors and they all seem to have diffrent opinions,and this goofball is the one sending in my papers,lol
Im gonna ask my dad to get me back to his freind who was my doctor before,Does anyone know if when they send for my records if it will say I am a medical Marijuana Patient?

Im thinking about calling a lawyer,but does that mean I have to go to court for this?

The Social Security Administration (SSA) lists Hepatitis C under Digestive System - Chronic Liver Disease, on the list of impairments eligible for Social Security Disability benefits.
You may need a new attorney. This one does not seem to be too knowledgable. So you have already got your initial determination and have gone through the first appeal?
Do not be too worried if it fails this time. You can refile a new case with new evidence as many times as you want. Just consider the first one a learning experience.

I am very sick and in desperate need of hep-c treatment but I have no money and no shelter if judge deny's my case I will die within next yr. I was told this is the final appeal if I loose no benifits! so don't just thow out information like its no big deal! I am almost positive some moderator here deleted that thread that had the info on the new law that stated social security know has to accept chronic illnesses as a Disability fuck I shouldv'e immediately copied that thread
I am hoping the person who posted it can post it again

I'd like to see that as well.
Im going to a diffrent doctor.

You should be able to sign up for state welfare. If you've already been diagnosed the state can help out. I don't know how it works there in cali but here in washington its pretty easy. Then you can get a small monthly check and medical coverage. I'll do some more looking to find the law for SSI or SSDI for hepatitis c.

Your attorney should know all about this. This is what he's getting paid for or will if you win the case. There is a shit load of reading to stay up on the SSI or SSDI process. Try to educate yourself as much as possible. It will help.

It took me 5 years to get approved for docial security disability benefits. Get a lawyer for sure. I used Binder and Binder and they really helped and I got approved and received an $80K plus retro check. Don't talk drugs..nothing except prescribed from a doctor and that the drugs prescribed to help you make you unable to drive safley, strange sleep patterns, etc.

You can also work on ssd part time. good luck.

I see Binder and Binder ads all the time. If I'm not being too nosey, what illness did you file on?

IMHO, There is too much DISinformation in this forum.
I've been on disability for 20+ years.
I lost in court, appealed & then won.
Prior to the first court, my lawyer said that I would win, then before my 2nd court the same lawyer said that I had very little chance.
Lawyer can help, but they usually make you wait until your case has been appealed the 3rd time & you're next step is court.
You should let your lawyer build your case, (using they're own doctors) & in the mean time, give the gov. as little information as you can.
They will only twist it around against you, so be patient!

My previous job was selling pot. (legally with tax stamps)
The OKC office of the AFT had made it obvious that they didn't like me selling pot, yet refused to give me a trial. After I lost all 4 tenants, & all my friends were now too scared to visit, I applied for disability. (1988)
"I will always consider this a bribe to not sell cannabis." was written in, just above my signature. (just in case it wasn't clear in the rest of my application)

I would not advise anyone to try walking in my shoes, but you can learn from my example. If you want real help, feel free to contact me.
I'm waiting for YOU to be ready, so I can go back to selling medicine & get off of the back of the taxpayers.

btw-
I had been under surveilance for 3 years, when the oklahoma city office of the alcohol, tobacco & firearms, came at a rare moment when i was not home, with a prepared story that a man & woman ran with a gun or knife.
This gave them the right to enter without a warrant.
Of the 12 exterior doors, they chose the one that was boarded shut.
After taking the entire door frame out, passersby on highway 54 could easily see my plants hanging, as the authorities didn't confiscate even one bud.
It made the local news, both 6 PM & 10 PM, all 3 channels.
The plants & the huge hole in the wall were not shown.

From previous military history, they must have known that my liberty-or-death stance was no delusion, but is permanent.
This happened before the Waco killings, but the bomb that blew up their office was made in Wichita, my hometown back then.
I doubt that I've met Mcvey or Nichols, but they may have heard of me.
You can read in High Times magazine about "the hemp lady" who later used the same Kansas cannabis tax stamps to get a freedom fighter of the month award. The last I heard, she's alive & well, in the same location.
I can only hope that this truth won't get me banned from this forum.
