Hi John, I'm sorry to hear that you need to stop working, but we've had messages about this earlier, and it seems that it was inevitable. With your type of job, it was just not possible to keep working. Now, the next phase of your life.
Go to this site, it's your help with the disability application process. This information was made for us by a TMIC member named Doc. He has passed on, and I sure do miss him. This has helped many of us get approved the first time. No need for a lawyer unless you get denied. http://www.myelitis.org/resources/disabilityapp.htm Hugs, Barbara A in Auburn CA -----Original Message----- From: john snodgrass <jcs...@yahoo.com> To: transverse myelitis <tmic-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Tue, Oct 26, 2010 1:01 pm Subject: Re: [TMIC] oh joy called them today.sent me to website to apply online.i will most likely be denied but 60 to 70% are but thats the process i guess. next step is lawyer. --- On Tue, 10/26/10, rn11...@yahoo.com <rn11...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: rn11...@yahoo.com <rn11...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [TMIC] oh joy To: "john snodgrass" <jcs...@yahoo.com> Cc: tmic-list@eskimo.com Date: Tuesday, October 26, 2010, 1:39 PM John, Why are you questioning it?

I asked him why they put up with me missing so much work,he said as long as it takes for me to get what i need because i deserved it? said i was a good guy?
