Disability

Hi, !

First off, I hope your hearing goes well! Also, I hope you get some helpful feedback from other community members on this topic.

One of our contributors wrote about her disability application journey here -- https://lupus.net/living/disability-journey and here -- https://lupus.net/living/filing-disability. She discusses her hearing in that second link I provided. I hope it gives you some insight into what to expect at your hearing.

Again, I hope things go well and please keep us posted, if you feel comfortable doing so.

Good luck!

Best, Erin, Team Member.

Hi ,
I just wanted to jump in and add one more that may provide some help: https://lupus.net/living/getting-disability
As Erin mentioned, we truly hope others will chime in with their personal experiences.
In the meantime, we will be keeping you in our thoughts and hope all goes well!
My best, Doreen (Team Member)

Hi , I've been on disability since 2013. I spoke to the judge and he was very kind and understanding. Just be honest and everything will be fine. Your medical records tell them all they need to know the judge basically wants to see you face to face nothing to be worried about. Everything will be fine. I'll be praying for you.
