Reply #10: please keep in mind that when you are ready to get off ssi/ssdi

that you can opt to keep your coverage (you will need to pay, but it will be less then your crappy private insurance + copays) if you still have mental health issues to deal with.

Peace and low stress and good luck with your appeal.

Remember SSA mission is to give the right check, to the right person, and the right time.

For your appeal to be successful be sure to provide information -
1) regarding your health (mental or physical)
2) regarding your inability to complete "gainful activity".

The best way to get the #2 data is to request supporting statements from people that didn't hire you or fired you. They know why you can't work (or why you can't work for them). Just let them (previous employers / potential employers that didn't hire you) that you need the info to get disability insurance and that you are not looking to sue them + are willing to sign a statement absolving them from lawsuits.

Peace and low stress and good luck my friend.
