Anyone to contact if you have been declined social security disability and appealed
I have Fibromyalgia and have not worked for 7 years. Are there any politicians or judges or anyone I can write to in Delaware that can help me? After being declined for social security I have been diagnosed with other illness also and am getting more tests because of more pain and more problems after I was declined and appealed. Thank you. Some examples are, I was tested for Lyme disease before I was declined, after I was declined it was positive once. Also before I tested negative for Lupus and after I was declined I just got a positive result.
I take it you were declined and then appealed and then appeared before a Judge and then got declined again. I have heard of people being successful after going to the local elected officials but I'm not sure how that works.
My understanding is that once the judge has declined your appeal you cannot reapply again using the same evidence. However if you have new medical evidence then you should be able to reapply for disability. if you didn't use a lawyer in your last case be sure to strongly consider using one in this one.
Also make sure that your physician is on board and is competent at writing disability evaluations. You might want to check outthe Vermont CFIDS Association disability manual for tips. It's on chronic fatigue syndrome but it raises important issues for fibromyalgia patients as well. http://www.monkeyswithwings.com/vtcfids.html
