OMFG,   Those people need to be shot! Call me evil and mean, but to make your kid suffer so you can draw money off of them is just inhumane. That reminds me of a recent news story here in Cincy. A couple were foster parents to a 3 year old autistic boy, they decided they did not want to take him to

Hi Terry and I couldn't believe they wouldn't give my husband Disabiltiy when he had all his doctors records and etc. Someone told him to get turned down 2 or 3 times and then hire a lawyer. Well it worked. Go figure. My hubby didn't live to many years after he started drawing his disability. He

Hey Suzie,   I will have to check out that article. It really burns my butt when I hear about people like the drug fiend that get awarded SSD.

Terry & Steve, Just thought I would clue in to a great article in the recent Reader's Digest on the fraud going on in SSD. I found it quiet an eye opener, plus, Terry, might give you info on where to "make a complaint" about the person you mentioned who was awarded his disability. I don't want an

Jeanie,   Yeah it sucks the way the system is set up. It seems they fix it so people have to get a lawyer regardless of what is wrong with them. You know what 100 lawyers in the bottom of the ocean is?? A good start...rotfl. Sorry I just had to throw that in, no offense meant to any lawyers

Roger, When I first went on SSI for dissablilty it was in '87 and for "sever depression" I have been on it ever since. Once I was dx with CML it just carried over and there has been no question. I know a LOT of people who draw SSI for depression. Hugs, Katy   --SHIH-POO Puppies now available!

Steve and Roger,   First, no problem at all Steve for the info. To answer Roger the best I can. From what Allsup has told me, I more than fit the criteria. The problem I believe stems from the fact CML is a chronic disease, and thus we do not show the same signs of being ill as someone with a more
