    Felt like a criminal for being disabled

    Rated 2.0 out of 5

    At my first hearing, I thought the judge hated my lawyer, but at the second (I had to go to the Appeals Council because her denial was outside the law), I was questioned like a criminal. She made it sound like I wasn’t disabled because I was able to visit my mom and daughter once or twice a year. These trips had me in a wheelchair for travel, and then spending time with my family.Show more

    She also wanted to know the last time I went anywhere. I explained it was an overnight in Chicago (2 hours away), with someone else driving, my mobility scooter, dinner and a night in a hotel. She gave me a dirty look I’ll never forget.

    In the end, she had no reason not to approve me with multiple illnesses and heading into my second major back surgery in a year. She did, however, take away 3-1/2 years of backpay because I visited my family and, she claimed, I was well enough to go on a Mexican vacation, where I hurt my ankle. The work trip to Mexico was actually years before I even filed for disability.

    I grew up with disabled parents, who worked as long as they could. They did go on trips in wheelchairs and went out to dinner often. Had I really gone on a “Mexican vacation” that would have been fine for a disabled person to do. I know my days of horseback riding, dancing, and even walking on the beach, are over.

    I will be paying off those lost years of backpay for a long time, as I used on my charge cards for so long while I waited for disability.

    Most of my time these days is spent at the hospital (where I am now), but I really hope that Judge Supergan realizes that disabled people can have lives and still be unable to work a full time job.
