Have you been prescribed oxycotin or ms cotin?

My mom is on one of those and says it still doesn't touch her sciatic nerve pain but it helps her from wanting to "rip someone's head off".

She also went to a bunch of different specialists who all but one said she'd be dead in 9months. They all wrote letters for her stating her disability. "Is disabled with no chance of recovery" . Something to that effect. I've known people who are not permanently disabled but still obtained SSI. They recover, go back to work, and get off SSI.

Once you get SSI you'll have to worry about someone reporting you for not actually being disabled(at least that's what they'll tell SS) then you have to get new paperwork from your doctors stating the same old crap. I think, or you resend your old paperwork and get a new letter from your doctor stating you're still disabled.

I can't remember exactly.


Bottom line it's your condition that makes you disabled or not. You just need medical professionals to state such.
